Where to Find- Nani Iro

So far my most popular post was this one about finding the ever elusive Lush fabric with a link to where any one else could purchase it as well. I thought perhaps my endless Googling for hard to find fabric could be put to use with a regular feature with links to online stores.

I first saw Nani Iro fabric when searching for potential garments to make and quickly fell in love. Most of her designs are printed on double glaze cotton, which is so soft! They give the impression of water color paintings with sweet candy like colors and soft edges. They are perfect for blouses or little girl dresses.

However, when she puts those same colors on a black background the effect is quite edgy, you get the same beautiful colors but they appear more rock and roll than soft love ballad.

And while seeing gorgeous fabric on it’s own is one thing it’s always nice to see what people do with it.
