The Cloth Shop

Friday, February 1st, 2019

Our 3rd stop on our Fabric Shop visit in preparation for our Fabric Buying Bus Tour from Geelong To Melbourne was

THE CLOTH SHOP

47 Lower Heidelberg Rd, Ivanhoe VIC 3079.

The Cloth shop sells beautiful quality fabrics and several of our sewing students just love it for their special pieces.

The Cloth Shop began trading in 1977 selling designer remnant pieces and stretch fabrics in an upstairs shop in East Ivanhoe.

Since that time their range has grown and so has their store, which now carries exclusive evening wear fabrics through to simple cottons.

The Cloth Shop imports exclusive fabrics from Europe, Japan and India and buy from local suppliers and designers too.

There is over 6500 rolls of fabrics in store, with new things arriving every week.

They have the largest selection of jersey and knit fabrics in Melbourne with a whole room dedicated to them.

Sewing from beginning to end for any occasion, with patterns ranging from Vogue, Perpetual, Butterick, McCalls and Kwik Sew Patterns along with a large selection of Birch haberdashery is in store.

Have you been to The Cloth Shop and purchased anything you love?

The Fabric Store Melbourne

Wednesday, January 30th, 2019

We’ve been busy checking out some great Melbourne Fabric stores in preparation for our fabric bus tour we’re organising in term 1.

First stop for Jacqueline & our lovely friend and sewing teacher Clare-Louise from The Thrifty Stitcher in London was:

The Fabric Store

184 Brunswick Street,

Fitzroy, Melbourne 3065.??

www.thefabricstore.com.au

The Fabric Store stock designer dress fabrics, merino wool and Liberty of London prints. Also high quality cotton basics, linens and woollens through to designer printed silks, sequins and leather.

The majority of the fabrics they source are deadstock items, which means that they are end-of-line, mill overruns, cancelled orders or designer excess fabrics. These are fabrics that are deemed a waste product in the fashion industry and would often otherwise end up as landfill.

Over the years The Fabric Store have formed relationships with some of the best designer suppliers, both internationally and locally, in order to bring us an amazing and unique range of stock without the waste and ethical implications of mass manufacture.

What do you think? Have you purchased a great piece of fabric at The Fabric Store in Australia or New Zealand?

If you would like to join our fabric bus tour in Term 1, 2019 or book in for one of our sewing classes, please contact us today.

We teach sewing in a positive, fun, supportive and uplifting environment for kids and adults, beginners to advance, morning, afternoons, nights and weekends.
