Followed a link included in Curious Kiwi’s post. Love this and will use it next time I go to Melbourne later in the year. A place i went to last time I was there was the Alanah Hill outlet store in Brunswick St, Fitzroy. I went mad buying buttons, trims and elastics but didn’t indulge in the fabric as I bought a heap at The Fabric Store next door.
Thanks Vanessa – glad it’s useful! I know just the place you mean
I usually team it with a visit to The Fabric Store too! I’ll add it too the map – thanks for prompting me!
