I love her fabric test ❤ and her husband ❤. Beautiful live. Thank you both so much. I would love to do this tour with my husband ❤❤. Best of luck for your tour!
Next time if you’re wandering outside of the city and surrounds, try some other independent fabric shops - Cloth Shop in Ivanhoe and Fabric Deluxe in Footscray. There’s lovely Japanese seersucker at Fabric Deluxe. 😊
Hello! Your channel just popped up, and I thought I'd take a walk through Melbourne with you. This was my first trip to Melbourne, lol! I really enjoyed it. Thank you. The fabrics you purchased are beautiful. I love the colors and fabric types. So happy that you will be making clothes for your baby. Congratulations on your bundle of joy and happiness. I subscribed to your channel because I'm excited to see what you create with these lovely fabrics. I will tell you again, I LOVE the colors that you chose.
Delightful to “look” into so many Melbourne fabric stores that I know about but have never been to. The only one I have been to is Rathdown Fabrics - which is my “local” fabric store! I love looking at the vintage sewing machine collection up on the walls. Now I feel like planning an adventure with a crafty friend or two & going exploring to some of the other stores - thanks for the inspiration! PS another one for you list for next time is GJ’s Fabrics in Fairfield, I have been buying fabric there pretty much since I first started sewing ( well, at the current store and the 3 previous locations too!) over 25 years ago. Georgie & the team are all wonderful & the store is just gorgeous.
So glad you enjoyed the video and it has inspired you to take a fabric shopping adventure! The sewing machine collection at Rathdowne is incredible! I loved looking at them too. Thanks for the other recommendation. I'll have to add it to my list to visit next time ☺️
The sweetest trip! So many fabby shops I’ve never even made it to so adding them to my list for next time. Meeting you both was such a highlight and I love seeing your adventure through your lens. ❤
OMG you are right in my hood and I have never been to Jimmy’s Buttons…or the Fabric Lab, been sewing for over 30 years🤔. Thanks for showing me around its lovely to see my fav fabric haunts being enjoyed…love your video…will totally get out more.
The Fabric Lab is pretty recent, I think it opened a bit over a year ago at this point. Also Jimmy Buttons is very particular, he is very short, likes people that know what they want and have the cash on hand to pay for it. He can be very abrasive so I know quite a few people who really don't like going in there. So be prepared for that.
What a gorgeous video. Some of my favourite shops and a couple I haven’t been to yet. Isn’t Jimmy Buttons the most amazing place, a little overwhelming at first with so much to look at. You got some beautiful fabrics.
Thank you! Jimmy Buttons is incredible. Definitely a little overwhelming but glad I got a few souvenirs. Would be amazing to have it as a local place to go to when you need something specific ☺️
Thanks for posting your Melbourne trip, I will be heading there next week and will be hitting the fabric shops. I will be looking for some paper cotton like fabric and some cotton organdy.
I love shopping for fabric in Singapore, in Japan, in Chiangmai Thailand, ending my trips with lots of different fabric. But I realised that I must have in mind what to make First, do you agreed?
I’ve lived in Melbourne for over 25 years. Never knew there are fabric stores in Fitzroy. Thank you.
Happy to help! 🤗
natural beauty, bravo, no make-up, we see this rarely in this world. You are a strong woman^^
I love this video so much, thanks for dropping into Rathdowne Fabrics - come back again soon!
Thank you for the tour of fabric stores in Melbourne. I need to hop on the train and spend a day down there exploring all of them. ❤️❤️🌺
I love her fabric test ❤ and her husband ❤. Beautiful live. Thank you both so much. I would love to do this tour with my husband ❤❤. Best of luck for your tour!
Gosh what a fabulous hubby so patient
He really is!! 😍
I love these videos because brick and mortar fabric stores are few and getting fewer everyday.
Thank you so so much for stopping by and taking the ribbon cup home! Was so lovely meeting you and Chris 🩷🥰
Loved meeting you too Alessia 🎀 thank you for creating my favourite cup 🤭🤍

جولة جميلة بل أكثر من رائعة وكأنها رحلة أليس في بلاد العجائب هذا حقًا ما تحلمُ به أي خياطة مثلي تماما، فألف مبروك لكم و مزيدا من الرحلات الموفقة 💐
There is a Darn Cheap Fabrics on Glenhuntly Road, Glenhuntly just down the road from the train station. Friendly and knowledgable staff.
That's so good to know for next time! ☺️

Funny how that happens sometimes...I can say the same thing about places in my own home town too. Enjoy! ❤️

Ooo the soft striped linen would make beautiful swaddles for bubs
That's such a great idea! 🤗
Lovely!
Thankyou what a wonderful video.
Thank you! ❤
Darn cheap fabrics has a huge range of fabulous lace and other trims in lots of colours. Stuff you don't see any more in other stores.
I agree, they had such a great range of all sorts of fabrics and trims! So glad I stumbled upon the store ❤️
Thanks for these destinations..seems that fabric is back on for retail outlets…seems like you both had a good time..happy trails..⭕️🦋⭕️
Loved your video and seeing the stores you went to in Melbourne. Inspo for my next visit!
Glad you enjoyed it! So many great fabric stores in Melbourne 🥰
Beautiful fabrics Mel. You’re looking well xxx

I'm visiting Melbourne next month so will definitely check out these stores. I think I'll have to buy another bag while I'm there 😅
Great timing! I hope you enjoy your trip! Yes, we bought extra luggage weight on the way home 😂
Love from thailand 😊. I made your Ora pinafore and Rue blouse. So your patterns are here in Bangkok too lol. ❤

Have so much fun! 🥰
I love shopping for fabric in Singapore, in Japan, in Chiangmai Thailand, ending my trips with lots of different fabric. But I realised that I must have in mind what to make First, do you agreed?
I was wondering if you only had various shades of brown in your wardrobe, I kept praying for another colour besides cream and brown.
Haha! I go through different phases of colours. This time definitely had a neutral theme ☺️
I tried sewing with plain fabrics, got soooo bored 😂. I love vibrant colours and on a stripe fabric craze now making shirts for work. 😊
I go through phases with fabrics too! Last year it was plaids. I am loving stripes lately as well 💕
Hi I live in Wollongong NSW I wished you would have given us some prices on the fabric
Condition on your baby ❤
Where is this shops. Pleas you give adres I want to go
Manufacturer in fabric industry, I can supply different kinds of fabric for you :)
