2026 Fabric-a-brac Hamilton

Fabric-a-brac is a 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 have been running events since 2009 – but this is our first event in the Waikato!

• Fabric-a-brac Hamilton

• Saturday 17 October 9am-1pm

• Chartwell Cooperating Church, 126 Comries Road, Chartwell, Hamilton 3210.

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

Selling fabric – stallholder application

You can have a table to sell your stash – you pay for the table (this is donated to Hospice) and then you get to keep the proceeds. You can apply for a stall below:

Donating fabric

If you have fabric, haberdashery or patterns you’d like to move on, but don’t want to have a table yourself, you can donate your fabric to hospice in advance of the day. This will all go onto the hospice table on the day, and all profits will go to their wonderful work.
