Testimonials

I can’t fault the great service and range of quality fabrics stocked by Kylie and Clare in Minerva’s Bower. I recently ordered some samples followed by a larger fabric order, and was very impressed with the communication and prompt delivery in both cases. Thank you from a very happy customer!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Victoria

If you love fabric and all things creative for dressmakers then this is the place for you. The range, quality and price are exceptional and Kylie and Clare are just the best. I am so lucky to have this place close by, it’s a little haven.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Annie

No matter how you like to shop, in person or on-line, the people behind the product make all the difference. As an enthusiastic novice, I love to visit with the ladies from Minerva’s Bower. There’s no question too silly, their depth of knowledge and infinite patience has made my sewing journey a joy. The fact they are so committed to sourcing sustainable and ethical fabric choices means I rarely shop anywhere else.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Keris

Minerva’s Bower is much more than just a place to buy fabric, the ladies are knowledgable, patient and have bloody good taste!
