Hi, jJust like to let you know that I have a small fabric business based on the Central Coast not far from Erina Fair. I actually have an enormous amount of fabric of all descriptions which I source from Australia and I go overseas to buy lots of beautiful silks, linens, cottons, wools – too many to name.
I cater for those who have a passion for fabric like me, who love sewing, designing and experimenting with fabric, and for those who love good quality fabric to take to their dressmaker. Formals, weddings, everyday wear, work wear, casual wear – I have fabric that suits all purposes.
My fabric “shop” is in a cottage at the back of my house so it has a friendly feel to it.
During the week I see people by appointment and on Saturdays I am open from
10-3. Please visit my website www.myfabric.com.au , email rosemary@myfabric.com.au or phone 0401352081 – it is worth a visit if you love fabric - I am also happy to send swatches interstate.
Please add me to your fabric outlets list!- Rosemary

Hi Ann, I'm Jodie, based in Melbourne and I have just started a site called The Haby Goddess. www.thehabygoddess.com.au . It is basically a site about all things haby, I will be introducing a theme each week which will be available for sale. ie : Week 1 (now) is Buttons - Vintage/retro style. In the following weeks I will be offering a lot more brand new haby - can be purchased in large quantities or small amounts. All prices will be below RRP.
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.
