Top 5 Online Fabric Shops

Shopping online has revolutionised my fabric world. 
There is so much choice now, but i find it does stretch me to my financial limit sometimes.
Just soooo tempting. But none the less, i wouldn't be able to create the quilts and cushions i do
with out the help of the late night shopping tool. 
So here's my top 5 online fabric shops - 

I can't go past etsy for variety and many sellers are so helpful with providing extra yardage, is there another colour available? or even cheaper postage options (Japan mail service can be expensive, so do enquire about SAL sea air lifted) so don't be afraid to ask questions. Sellers are based all over the world, but there are many Australian sellers too. 

Again, big variety and based in America. Great for vintage and retro inspired designs.
Make sure you check out the shipping info to get the best value out of your order,
the postage is worked out in block amounts for a certain amount of fabric.

Beautiful Japanese designs in traditional and contemporary style. Fun kiddy  and floral designs.


Great little Australian store, nice to order on our own shores and avoid the international postage!
Beautiful range with a handy navigation system to browse fabric by designer, colour, style and weight. 

Postage is FREE within Australia, what more can you ask for... oh, fabulous fabric! 
This shop has it all and beautiful ribbons and patterns too. 


here's a couple of extras....

Based in Queensland, with a retail store too, lovely range of retro and contemporary styles.
Large selection of Japanese and European designs with loads of browsing options when looking for something in particular.


Big variety of old world, traditional styles and based in Queensland. 
So if you're in the area you can visit their shop in person. 
Make sure you check out the William Morris designs! I haven't seen these before.

Little Birdy

Customers have loved this in chocolate, now i've got duck egg and waiting in the wings i have deep red and gold! I love it so much i'm going to make a couple of hand stitched lampshades too. I'm eagerly awaiting the new range of fabric to come out of the Ink and Spindle studio so i can get busy with it. My fingers are twitching....

More New Fabric From Melbourne and Afar

People ask me for red cushions so much i just had to get some - so here's the start of the Red Series

New fabric from the Ink and Spindle studio in Melbourne was great to work with and so exciting to have more local product in my range.

But the Classic Animal collection from Japan is such a winner and mix and match is fun.

I've got the ladybugs in green too, so cute!
