The Fabric Store Online offers a curated range of quality fashion fabrics for the home-sewing community. The Online Store stock differs from what is available in our bricks & mortar stores and overall is a much smaller selection. We also have a selection of Online Only products that are not available in stores. All our fabrics online are sold in increments of 0.1m as shown on the product page. We always cut fabric in one continuous length where possible. At checkout and in transactional emails you may notice the quantities are shown as units which are units of 0.1m (10 units = 1 meter). Bias Binding, elastic & lace trims are sold in units of 1 metre and cut in in one continuous length where possible.

We have a range of Exclusive fabrics milled exclusively for The Fabric Store. The rest of the fabrics we offer online are predominantly sourced as deadstock, meaning they are end-of-line, mill overruns, cancelled orders or designer excess. You can read more about our supply chain here. This means these limited edition fabrics often won't be around for long! Sign up for the product waitlist here.

We will do our best to accurately describe our products, however if you are unsure about the color, weight, style, grain, behavior, hand feel or pattern of any of our fabrics we strongly recommend ordering a sample before purchasing.

Samples are available for every fabric we have online and can be purchased for $2 NZD each directly from the product page just by selecting 'order sample' underneath the 'add to cart' button (you may need to scroll down if you are on mobile).

Samples delivery for New Zealand addresses usually takes about 3 days via NZ Post.

Shopping for a sewist who doesn't live near a store? Give them the gift of choice with an Online Gift Card!
If you are buying a gift card for someone who lives in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide we advise purchasing a store voucher instead, these are available directly through each store.*

Online Gift Cards are delivered by email to the email address used at checkout and can then be forwarded onto to your friends or family. Gift Cards can be used for all online products and shipping charges. All voucher amounts are issued in NZD.*

*Please note, if redeeming an Online Gift card in store the full amount must be used at time of purchase. If redeeming in an Australian store the value will be AUD, e.g a $25 Gift Card will take $25 AUD off your purchase.

Our Online Store is based at The Fabric Store Headquarters in Auckland New Zealand. This is a different location from our Auckland store. All our stock is held at TFS HQ where we cut, process and send our Online orders. We do not use our retail stores to fulfil Online orders and the stock you see online is managed completely separately from the stock you see in stores.

As we are based in New Zealand we operate during New Zealand working hours which are Monday-Friday, 8.30am-5pm. We have a small Online team working during these hours, you can contact us here.

We accept payment online with Visa, Mastercard and Afterpay. All payments are taken in NZD as shown at checkout. The view currency converter is for browsing customer’s ease of understanding only and will not change the currency you are charged in.

If you enter your credit card details on our website our checkout will use 3D Secure technology. 3D Secure is an additional security layer for online credit and debit card transactions. It adds an authentication step for online payments by redirecting the user to the card issuer’s domain, then back to the online store's domain to complete payment. Please refer to Afterpay for their security protocols.

The Fabric Store has two websites:

wearethefabricstore.co.nz - this is the website you are currently browsing on. It is our New Zealand website, showing fabrics available to purchase in NZD, by customers with New Zealand addreses. If you are shopping outside of New Zealand, we advise you use our Australian & Rest Of World website.

wearethefabricstore.com - this is our Australian & Rest Of World website. All fabrics are the same as those that are available on our New Zealand website. Prices are shown in AUD. The currency display tool can be used to show prices in other currencies. Please note that all fabrics are shipped from our New Zealand HQ.

We offer FREE Shipping on all orders over $300 NZD!* All orders are cut and sent from our New Zealand based HQ with NZ Post. Typically you'll receive your order within the week, now that's quick! Read more about Shipping here.

Orders placed during a sale or promotional period may take up to 14 working days to be processed. If your order is time sensitive please email support@thefabricstoreonline.com and we will do our best to rush it through.



*Free shipping does not apply to wholesale orders.
