All threaded up with nothing to sew...

Inexpensive or reasonably priced fabric (dressmakers) available online (retail). Either within Australia (or ships here - without costing a fortune!). I'm after a bit of (cotton) broderie anglaise, lycra, some cotton drill and a rayon/cotton/stretch blend to be precise but.. whatever you've got - I'll take it!

Hello! I heard there was a place in West End (can't remember the name now) which was a warehouse of recycled material. There's a lot of fabric there that might suit you.

That would be Reverse Garbage on Montague Rd. However, their stuff is pretty random and I don't recall seeing cloth there the times I've been; but then, I wasn't looking for cloth.

Have you tried Spotlight in Mt Gravatt or Lincraft in the Myer Centre?

To clarify - Reverse Garbage is well worth a look, whatever your craft of choice.
