Spotlight South Melbourne

Sunday afternoon 21st January! We needed to buy some sheer White Curtains but had no idea what to get. The young lady who served us was very impressive .. She was lovely, patient & knowledgeable!!!
She deserves a big 👏 from the Spotlight team at South Melbourne store.

There is everything in this store - not just crafts and material. Bed linen, kitchen ware, party supplies including balloons, sewing machines etc. The store in enormous and the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Located upstairs University Woolworths - plenty of parking underneath the centre.

Nice spotlight and has a good selection. Staff seems ok. Went on a Monday morning so wasn't too busy. Can appear a bit congested with narrow aisles but this is minor issue and won't top me from visiting again. They do have a clearance section which is good if you wanna check out bargains.

I want to thank the staff who assisted me but I also want to mention how shocked I am to witness a staff being secretly bullied by another staff member who did it right in my presence. It was appalling and no one should have to put up with this behavior. Bullying is a serious matter and I hope that this doesn’t continue. Shame on you 😡

Such a RANGE. Staff are all so helpful and accommodating and deserve raises

Very well stocked and great store. They keep it very clean for the management upstairs.

A big thank you to Rachel. She is the friendliest, kindest person I have seen in a while. She is excellent at her job and couldn’t help us enough. We unknowingly arrived when she finished for the day and she stayed back and took care of us with a smile on her face. Thank you soooo much Rachel we really appreciate your hard work and dedication!

Great place for hand knitting lovers!

all good also the woman who ran my items through was super friendly and charming despite it being the end of the day
spotlight employees are always so nice 😭

Just wish the shops were open past 5 more often, but I know that’s an office management decision. Aside from that, no issues! A standard decent Spotlight with good VIP discounts.

Despite not having what colour I liked they were so over the top in helping I couldnt leave empty handed

I had no idea what I was looking for, but staff there were really very helpful and attentive. Thank you

Didn't buy anything, seemed nice

Here you can find items that are out of stock in other shops

Like a bunnings for sewing/crafty/homebody kinda of people. Spent hours in there looking at all the interesting things. Got the best pillows at a steal price. Staff are fantastic

This store has pretty much everything a classic crafter would need. Fabric, Cricut brand supplies, stationary, paints, furniture, diy tools, sewing supplies and so much more. Reminds me a lot of Joanns in the states. The perfect place to shop if you’re into customizing your gear or DIY projects for all ages.

It’s the only place where I find fabric for my sublimation product. I love this store:)

2021

I've been to many Spotlight stores but the one in South Melbourne is my favourite. They are so organised!! Fabrics are sorted by type and then colour. Items all neatly arranged. It made my shopping experience a breeze. The store assistants were friendly and you could see them constantly rearranging and stocking items neatly on the racks. I definitely recommend coming here.

Update: December 2022

Shout-out to Christina for all her help! Despite working through the busiest season of the year with Christmas and Boxing Day, she managed to find time to assist me with my sewing machine repairs and replacements. The staff here really are the friendliest and most helpful.

Fav place to shop. Various fabric choices!!

Many and Rachel’s service was 10/10. Excellent service!!!!!!
