I moved from London to Sydney a few weeks ago and am very slowly trying to find out where the craft and sewing stores are. I have so far visited 4:
Tessuti
Morris and Son
Spotlight
Lincraft
They are all chain stores, which I am a little disappointed about. But they were all perfectly serviceable, Spotlight and Lincraft I would only use for basic supplies, pins, zips, thread etc, while Tessuti had a reasonable selection of fabrics, although I believe there is a much larger store in a different area of Sydney. I did pick up these fabrics:
Morris and Son is a wool and embroidery store and have a pretty good selection of wools. Although I was not overwhelmed, and found a lot of the colours quite dull, especially as I was looking for a bright yellow. These are my buys from Morris and Son:
So, I feel like Sydney will offer all the essentials for sewing and crafting, but I need to search out those special little independent stores, the ones with character, I'm sure there must be some here and I am looking forward to searching them out!
