Since 1992, we’ve been passionate about bringing affordable, quality fabrics to makers, sewists, quilters, and creators across Australia and New Zealand.
At East Coast Fabrics, we started as a local Queensland fabric store with a simple goal—to make beautiful fabrics accessible to everyone, whether you’re sewing your very first project at the kitchen table, quilting for family, creating handmade products for your business, or designing garments you can’t wait to wear. More than 30 years later, that same passion still drives everything we do.
From major cities to regional towns, we’ve become a trusted destination for affordable fabrics, fast shipping, and a constantly growing range of new arrivals. Many of our customers tell us they love the huge variety of fabrics, the constantly changing stock, and the excitement of finding something unique every time they visit or browse online, while others have shopped with us for years and continue coming back because of the friendly service and affordable pricing that have been part of East Coast Fabrics since the beginning. Even as we’ve expanded online, we’ve stayed true to our local roots. Our Lawnton store is still open for customers who love browsing fabrics in person, matching colours firsthand, and finding inspiration for their next project. There’s something special about walking through aisles of fabric and discovering prints and textures you didn’t even know you needed. Our website has helped us become one of the best places to buy fabric online in Australia and New Zealand, while still keeping the welcoming feel of a local fabric shop.
We’re best known for our extensive range of craft and quilting fabrics, including quilting cottons, novelty prints, patchwork fabrics, and creative sewing essentials, but we also stock a wide variety of dress and apparel fabrics, including dress cottons, linen fabrics, rayon fabrics, knit fabrics, and other fashion fabrics suitable for sewing garments, casual wear, children’s clothing, and handmade pieces. With new stock arriving regularly, there’s always something fresh to discover both online and in-store, and many of our customers tell us they love the huge variety of fabrics, the constantly changing stock, and the excitement of finding something unique every time they visit or browse online. Others have shopped with us for years and continue coming back because of the friendly service and affordable pricing that have been part of East Coast Fabrics since the beginning. We love helping customers find fabrics that inspire creativity while keeping prices affordable for everyday sewing, quilting, and dressmaking projects. As a small independently owned business, customer service has always been at the heart of what we do. When you shop with us, you’re supporting a real team of fabric lovers who genuinely care about helping customers find the right fabric for their ideas and projects.
At East Coast Fabrics, we believe creativity should be accessible to everyone. Whether you’re quilting, dressmaking, crafting, or sewing something completely unique, we’re here to help bring your ideas to life with fabrics you’ll love.
Whether you visit us in Lawnton or shop online from anywhere in Australia or New Zealand, we can’t wait to be part of your next project.
