Dawn S. writes: Hello, I would like to tell you about a great shop in Mittagong. It is basically curtain and soft furnishing fabrics, but there is a great range and the staff are really helpful. They also make curtains, supply rods and tracks and also sell ready-made curtains. I found that they were really helpful and accommodated all my reqests, beyond the 'call of duty'. They will also take orders to make specific things, if you don't want to do the hard work, like cushions, throws, table clothes etc.
Worth the drive to the Southern Highlands, enjoy a coffee and the atmosphere.
The name of the shop: Fox Fabrics (now under new management).
Address: 8 Bowral Road, Mittagong
Phone: 47 822911
Thankyou, Dawn S

The following fantastic reference has been kindly contributed by Miriam Lane. Thankyou for your efforts.

SPOTLIGHT BIRKENHEAD POINT Lots of fabric, varying quality. Good range of unusual gingham checks last time I looked. Furnishing fabrics at the front of the store, dressmaking fabrics and haberdashery at the rear of the store. Craft materials as well. Drummoyne Birkenhead Pt Shopng Cntr 2047
CABRAMATTA - multiple shops catch the train or drive. lots of shops packed with fabric. Usually no labels with care instructions or fibre content. Bargaining is a must, they will almost always reduce their prices when asked.

There will also be items available for sale that you cannot buy in stores ie: 20mm polycotton bias and quilting fabrics from the US at less than the ridiculous prices Aussie stores are charging.
