The next Fabric-a-brac in Auckland will be in 2026.

About Fabric-a-brac Auckland

The Auckland Fabric-a-brac is one of the original Fabric-a-brac events in New Zealand, second only to Wellington.

Fabric-a-brac is a fun fabric and sewing supplies market where you can shop for vintage and modern sewing and upholstery fabric, patterns, haberdashery and more. It brings the sewing community together to share stashes, stories and delight in our mutual love of textiles.

Fabric-a-brac is volunteer-run, and is a fundraiser for hospice – in Auckland this is Mercy Hospice. All profits from this event are donated to their work.

Free entry, gold coin koha to Mercy Hospice appreciated.

Amount raised

In 2026 we raised $3074 for Mercy Hospice.

Apply for a stall

The event welcomes stallholders, with fabric or haberdashery for sale. You can be a private individual, or representing a business. You can apply for a stall once the date has been announced.

Pop-up cafe

There will be tea, coffee and sweet treats for sale in our pop-up cafe, so you can sit down and chat over your new projects and fabric purchases. All proceeds from the cafe also go to Hospice.

Buying fabric

BRING CASH as many of the stallholders will be selling by cash only.

If you are looking for some new inspiration for future projects, great bargains, wonderful old fabric and quirky bits – Fabric-a-brac is for you. Come along and pick up some fantastic sewing-related bargains.
