As a sewist, no holiday is complete without visiting the local Fabric Stores!
On our recent road trip around South Australia, including the Barossa, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and Adelaide, we visited some amazing fabric stores we wanted to share with you!
We visited South Australia on our Operation Tiny House New Years’ Eve for the 2019-2020 New Year’s Eve (see our matching outfits from our New Year’s Eve Trip here), so we had a couple of favourites to visit again and some new ones to try!

Fleurs of Stirling
Address: 8 Mount Barker Rd, Stirling SA 5152

Favourite Fabrics
Visiting all of these wonderful fabric stores, we couldn’t leave empty-handed! Here are our favourite three fabrics we purchased.
HELLO you beautiful shiny fabric.
There is some eye-catching about this fabric. It falls somewhere in between gold and rose gold fabric.
It is a sketchy knit fabric that has a wonderful drape – perfect for a birthday party dress!
Purchased from Ferrier Fashion Fabrics.
Cost per metre: $32.00
Fabric: 70% nylon, 27% metallic, 3% elastane
Available on their website here.
This cotton is not your average striped fabric – it has a strong red, navy and tiny tan stripe.
For those who have been following our sewing journey for a while, you’ll know we love matching outfits – this is fabric will be an outfit later in the year, so keep a look out!
Purchased from DK Fabrics
Cost per metre: $6.00
If this fabric doesn’t say festive Christmas, what does?
With Christmas fast approaching, it is never too soon to get organised – we have a lot of sewing projects to finish between now and Christmas, but this fabric is on the list!
