Mail Order Service

Australia's only mail order service dedicated to knit fabrics and stretch fabrics for the home and professional dressmaker.

Although we are based in Perth, Western Australia, the majority of our customers are in the major centres of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. We also have customers in all the other metropolitan areas as well as all the country and regional areas of Australia.

Subscribers to the mail order service receive 4 seasonal Fabric Portfolio mailings each year.

Each mailing includes at least 30 actual fabric swatches of knit and stretch fabrics from the best Australian and overseas sources.

Each swatch mailing includes a newsletter with seasonal pattern selections, notice of our seasonal showings around Australia and other news.

An annual subscription to the mail order service costs A$12-00 and you receive a A$5-00 fabric gift voucher to use against your first order.
