About Fabric-a-brac Nelson

• NEXT EVENT: 10am-1pm Saturday 18 May 2024
• Hope Hall, 184 Main Road, Hope, Nelson

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 Nelson this is Nelson Tasman Hospice. All profits from this event are donated to their work.

Selling fabric

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 Hospice) but anything you make on the day is yours to keep.

Apply to be a Nelson stallholder

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

Fabric donation points

• Nelson Tasman Hospice shops

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 most stallholders and the cafe will be selling by cash only.

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