About Fabric-a-brac Dunedin
What is Fabric-a-brac? It’s 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.
We are held in the Port Chalmers Town Hall, a lovely historic venue in Port Chalmers.
Fabric-a-brac is volunteer-run, and is a fundraiser for hospice – in Dunedin this is Otago Community Hospice. All profits from this event are donated to their work.
Donating fabric
You can donate fabric to the Otago Community Hospice stores in Vogel Street and Mosgiel . Fabric and haberdashery welcome or items for upcycling like doilies and woollen blankets – please mark as ‘Fabric-a-brac donation’. It would be appreciated that donations are good quality only – no stained or ripped fabric.
Taking a stall
If you have a stash you’d like to sell, you can come and take a stall. You pay a stallholder fee (which goes to Otago Community Hospice) but anything you make on the day is yours to keep. Applications will open closer to the time.
Pop-up cafe
At Fabric-a-brac market events 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 Otago Community Hospice.
Buying fabric
BRING CASH as most stallholders and the cafe will be selling by cash only.
If you are looking for some new inspiration for future projects, great bargains, beautiful vintage fabric and quirky bits – Fabric-a-brac is for you. Come along and pick up some fantastic sewing-related bargains.
