This pattern was created by designer Naomi Ito for her nani IRO line. Ito works primarily in watercolor, drawing inspiration from nature and Japanese art and mingling minimalism, a light hand, and an extraordinarily sharp eye. Ito’s designs can run the gamut from gentle and soothing to lively and dynamic, but they are, at all times, deeply poetic and extremely well thought out.
The Bird’s Eye pattern takes a lingering look at the world from above. Just what do birds see as they sail over fruit orchards and fields in bloom? The designer has conjured a whole landscape in small, impressionistic brush strokes.
This lightweight cotton sateen has a smooth face with a very subtle sheen – not a bit like the higher gloss of silk satin, which uses the same weave – so it’s not too dressy for everyday items. In terms of weight, this sateen is comparable to other lightweight cottons – it is not a classic, heavy sateen. This one is airy and works well in items like blouses and summer frocks.
This fabric is a nice choice for a blouse, shirt, dress, or flowy culottes. It can also make great curtains, pillow covers, or even bedding.
Machine wash cool (30°C). Iron on cotton setting. The satin weave requires delicate care, so select a lower spin cycle; gentle handling will prolong its lifetime.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.

You just need to recognize what the tag is telling you.

Fabric weight is one of the key elements in any fabric description. It’s an indicator of what a cloth is actually made of and what it could be good for. In online fabric shops you’ll find it listed alongside textile content and width, in brick-and-mortar shops it’s on the sticker at the end of the bolt. So, what exactly does it tell you?
