Hi, I would heartily recommend the first 2 on the list from busy fingers; both are within 15 minutes drive from the University of Sydney and close to bus routes. I suggest you check the websites if you are interested in fabric with Australian motifs as these are not very popular or widely stocked. If you are interested in fabric in general, you will be shocked at the prices -- most ordinary patchwork fabric is $18-24 per metre (which is larger than a yard) so much more expensive than in USA. From comments on this Board I think the closest comparison to Lincraft and Spotlight is Joanns. Hope this is useful. Enjoy your trip!
