Cotton Satin Fabric – Magnolia Print | Nerida Hansen

Designed by Australian designer Nerida Hansen, this cotton satin fabric features the Magnolia print with oversized, sketch-style florals inspired by spring blooms. The satin weave creates a smooth surface with a subtle sheen and gentle drape, making it well suited for garment sewing that balances fluidity and structure.

Carefully produced with attention to fiber and weave, this lightweight cotton satin has a silky hand while retaining enough body to hold details such as pleats, collars, and hems. It is comfortable to sew and suitable for both flowing silhouettes and more tailored garments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I sew with the Magnolia cotton satin?

Dresses, blouses, shirts, and skirts — plus pajamas and refined loungewear. It holds pleats, collars, and hems beautifully.

How much fabric do I need?

Most blouses take 1.5–2 yards (3–4 half-yard units) and most dresses 2.5–3.5 yards (5–7 units). At 57.5" wide, this fabric is wider than many quilting cottons, so you may need less than your pattern envelope suggests.

Will it shrink?

Cotton satin typically shrinks 2–3% on the first wash. Prewash before cutting.

Is it see-through?

The satin weave is tightly woven and opaque in normal wear.

What needle and thread should I use?

A fine universal or Microtex needle; press with moderate heat for clean seams and crisp details.

Is it really limited edition?

Yes — this is a small-batch limited run and will not be reprinted once sold out. We stock it here in the US, so there is no import shipping or customs from Europe.
