Vintage fabric of the week!

Our vintage fabric of the week!


As you may know, we have been avid collectors of vintage fabric for many years (it is how Funky Fabric all began! ) Back in the beginning we were Atomic Textiles and sold mainly vintage fabric to many collectors, movie studios, galleries and decorators world wide.  Well, we still have bolts, and bolts, and bolts of vintage fabric!  Some we will never sell, other pieces we can manage to part with.
If you live in Brisbane you can pop into our store and view many of the vintage fabrics.  Unfortunately I have yet to find time to list them online but hopefully we will be able to update our vintage fabric website later in the year.
We will be listing a "vintage fabric of the week" each Monday.  You can pop me an email if you are interested in purchasing or you can visit our retail store.


This week's fabric is a Dekoplus fabric (from the Netherlands).  This gorgeous bold fabric is circa late 1960s and is in mint condition.  Unused and perfect, still on the bolt.  Fabric is 100% medium weight cotton and is 120cm in width.
Price is $45 per half metre plus registered post costs.
If you would like more information or like to purchase this fabric please pop me an email

What are you up to this weekend?


We have been trying out new recipes this weekend.  This didn't quite rise as much as expected, but it still looked and tasted great!  Thanks Kitty for a yummy dessert!

We Are Moving - Before Pics!


This is our new store in progress!  We are hoping to open our new store this coming weekend, but will update this depending on our progress today!  

Our new store will be still located in Blackwood St, just up the street!

New store = lower overheads = lower prices for our customers!  A win-win situation!
We will also be introducing website order pickup to make shopping with Funky Fabrix even more convenient.  The new store setup will allow us to streamline packing and processing proceedures and less retail hours will allow even faster processing of orders and more precious time with our 4 children.

We are very excited about this move, it will improve our customer service and help us prioritise our lives a little so that we remember the important things in life!

Excuse the quality of before pics, I only had my phone with me.  I will take more pics today :)
