Our Favourite Aussie Fabric Stores: Quilting and More!

Some Fabulous Aussie Quilt Fabric Shops You’ll Want to Know About.

There’s something a little magical about discovering a new fabric store, isn’t there? Whether you’re hunting for a fresh palette, tracking down that perfect backing print, or simply browsing for the joy of it—finding a shop that feels like “your people” can be the spark that reignites your sew-jo. Here are six Australian quilt fabric shops I’ve stumbled across and come back to time and time again. Each has its own special flavour, and they’re run by passionate people who really get what it means to be a maker.

1. The Next Stitch – Bundaberg, QLD

Jemima is the heart behind The Next Stitch, a shop full of modern fabrics, fresh colours and clever curation. She’s a textile designer herself and has an eye for bringing together collections that work across all skill levels - especially great if you’re building confidence in your colour choices. Her range often features Ruby Star Society and low-volume favourites.

2. Wattle & Loop – Macedon Ranges, VIC

Run by the lovely Kylie, Wattle & Loop is not your average quilt shop - it’s a slow-stitch haven. Known for her one-of-a-kind collage quilt kits using vintage and reclaimed fabrics, Kylie has carved out a niche for mindful, creative textile art. Perfect for those in between-big-project moments when you want to create with meaning and story.

3. Amitié Textiles – Torquay, VIC

Jen, the creative force behind Amitié, has built a vibrant store that feels like stepping into a colour wheel. Think bold prints, Japanese imports, and an emphasis on handwork and global textiles. The store is as inspiring as it is well-stocked, and the community vibe (plus a cuppa from the café) makes it worth the visit if you're anywhere near the Surf Coast.

4. Scribbly Gum Quilt Co – Victoria

Jess runs Scribbly Gum Quilt Co with a passion for bold colours, fun prints, and good vibes. Her shop has a strong modern aesthetic, and you’ll find quirky bundles, fresh patterns, and a great mix of designer fabrics. Jess also has a knack for community building - her sew-alongs and pattern launches feel like a warm chat with friends over fabric.

5. Frangipani Fabrics – Hobart, TAS

Down in Tassie, Julie has created a community-minded space in Frangipani Fabrics, with classes, curated bundles and a lovely mix of modern and traditional prints. It’s a go-to for basics and blenders, and the friendly service makes online ordering feel like a neighbourhood visit.

6. Minerva’s Bower – Adelaide, SA

Rebecca runs Minerva’s Bower with a love for natural fibres and a strong focus on sustainability. This shop is a gem for earthy tones, indie designers, and thoughtful sourcing. If you’re leaning into a slower, more intentional way of quilting (or even garment sewing), this one’s for you.
