This year has had us all discovering and rediscovering hobbies to try and keep ourselves busy and distracted. And if for you that has involved dusting off the ol' sewing machine, watching some online sewing tutorials and turning swaths of fabric into fashion, then you're going to want to know about Fabric Muse. This store in Chippendale has been supplying designers, costumers, students and home sewers with premium fabrics from all over the world since 2011.

Dedicate some time to thumbing through the vibrant prints and designer fabrics — from houndstooth tweed and stretch silk to natural linen and wet-look effect lace.
