Fabric Outlets Otara

#Post
1

Hi looking for help / advice. I'm a keen sewer and will be staying in Auckland briefly next week. Is it worth going out to Otara to the two I have seen online in Lovegrove Cres or can you suggest others closer to where I will be staying in Mt Eden. I have googled and found a Fabric Warehouse in Harold st and the Emporium in Dominion Rd already.
Thanks

There are a collection of fabric stores in Newmarket/Khyber pass Road that I cruise into whenever I am there. Check they are still open/where they say they are before heading off....

Geoff's Emporium in Dominion Rd is likely the on you have found. It is great you never know what you will find there. They also have a great selection of laces/ elastics etc.

Designer textiles in Lovegrove terrace has been there for years. They used to specialise in knit fabric but have also branched out into a great selection of woven fabrics. They also have a great selection of elastics and rib fabrics for knits along with merino last time I was there.

I've only been to the other one in Lovegrove Tce once. Interesting selection definately worth checking out if you are heading to that area anyway

Do both those in the same visit, they are close. Designer has left overs from the workrooms, so can be variable, or was that Nick's? Been a while since I was out that way... The Fabric Shop has a vast range, but all are well worth the time...

Well I have been to Auckland and came back laden with fabric.
An unknown that I stumbled on by chance was the best, The Panmure Fabric store 30 Queens Rd, second best was the Emporium in Dominion Rd.

Designer Textiles used to have an outlet on the North shore years ago, as did Kosmik tops.

Yes, Designer closed. Which reminds me, I must do something with that luscious piece of devore I got in their closing down sale. If I can find it...
