The Fabric Store

This is by far my favourite fabric shop in Melbourne. They have a beautiful selection and the staff have never been anything other than lovely and super helpful. I started sewing at the end of 2021 and visited a few shops as a total newbie. This was the first place where I didn't feel uncomfortable.

Recently, I was looking for a particular fabric that wasn't in stock but Jessie (I believe that's her name) took my details and the next day I got a call offering to dispatch the fabric from their Sydney store. I had it 2 days later with no problems. I had to pay for the postage but it was worth it.

I visited last week to buy a lace fabric and lining for an event and the person that helped was extremely nice. Even though it was almost closing time she took the time to help me find the right combination. She even helped me choose between colours that would look better on me. I have almost finished that garment and I couldn't be happier with how it looks. I spent less than $100 (for almost 3 meters of lace and lining) and the dress looks much more expensive than that.

One more thing. Going into the store feels a bit therapeutic. Just browsing beautiful fabrics in a quiet space is awesome.

Great range of lovely fabrics, and friendly service from a bunch of kiwis

Excellent selection of fabrics and best in this area of town. Service is exceptional and there are also nice sitting areas for husbands and boyfriends who need a place to wait.

(visited 16/6/22) I'm not sure who the staff member was who helped me but she was really great. I was showing her a costume a was looking for fabrics for and she was off looking for fabric. As an employee of a different fabric store this is what's great about fabric store employees, we see a chance to help and we are off looking for the perfect fabric. Will 100% consider ordering because I love the fabrics that I was shown. :))

Went today and was greeted by a lovely young woman who directed and assisted me buy some lovely printed linens for simple shirts for summer, fine printed silk for a dress and a stunning hide of leather to reupholster a stool with lots over for other 'projects' for the leftovers. Quality product, friendly service, fairly priced. It's going to be a sewing summer

They have some amazing sales and quality fabric here. Definitely worth dropping in

I love the fabric and the service here. I can never believe how much amazing Merino they have!

Bought my fabric over the phone and the staff were so lovely. They were very clear in the descriptions, and the fabric came just as they described. If I lived in Melbourne I would be going here for all my fabric needs!

Was astounded by the magnificent fabrics like no one has anywhere ‼🔱⚜ Beauty all around it felt like Paris 🇫🇷

Unique, luxury and high-end looking fabrics at good prices including lovely Liberty of London and a huge range of NZ wools. Grab the ones you love when you see them as they won't be there again next time! The staff are wonderfully knowledgeable and some wear their own creations. Inspiring!

Such helpful staff, a beautiful selection of high quality fabrics. The staff go above and beyond to help with sending samples, tracking down fabric from other stores and are always friendly and professional to deal with.

Decent selection of fabrics, fair prices and the staff are so lovely! It was a great experience all round :)

Lovely staff, great prices, and much of the stock is sustainable deadstock ex-designer fabric
