Top 10 Australian Online-Only Fabric Stores for Dressmaking and Sewing
Fabric Shopping Online Can Be Easy
Shopping for fabric online can feel a bit daunting—how do you know if it drapes well, or whether the colour is true to life? Thankfully, there’s now a fantastic range of online-only fabric stores in Australia that make it easier (and more inspiring!) than ever to find exactly what you need.
Whether you're after sustainably made textiles, deadstock designer gems, or custom prints on Australian-milled bases, there’s something for every maker. Some of these stores even offer print-on-demand fabric, while others stock everything you need—fabric, notions, and printed patterns—to create a complete garment from start to finish.
We’re genuinely spoiled for choice here in Australia, with a growing number of beautiful, thoughtfully curated online fabric stores right at our fingertips. Sure, you can’t feel the fabric before buying it, but many of these businesses go above and beyond with detailed descriptions, helpful customer service, and high-quality photos and videos that make choosing the right fabric much easier. In many cases, the fabrics you'll find online aren't available anywhere else.
Note: This list focuses on stores that are online-only. There are many other wonderful fabric stores around Australia that also have physical shopfronts—in fact, I’ve rounded up my Top 10 Fabric Stores in Melbourne that offer both in-store and online shopping in this blog post.
To help you discover (or rediscover) some gems, here are ten of the best online-only Australian fabric stores for sewing and dressmaking. Some will be familiar favourites, while others might be new names to add to your go-to list!
