Spotlight

Fabric, craft, party and homewares under one roof beside South Melbourne Market, with a balloon station and click and collect for last-minute finds.

Just around the corner from South Melbourne Market, this Spotlight store is where market-goers duck in for fabric by the metre, wrapping paper, party decorations or a new cushion for the lounge room. It's a sprawling one-stop shop for anyone working on a sewing project, planning a birthday party or simply restocking the craft drawer, with staff on hand at the in-store balloon station to help finish off the celebration.

South Melbourne's Spotlight sits on Cecil Street, right alongside South Melbourne Market, making it an easy add-on stop after a morning at the market stalls. Spread across the store is Spotlight's usual sprawling mix of fabric, haberdashery, craft supplies, homewares and party goods, so it's as likely to be visited by someone hemming curtains as someone planning a kids' birthday. The party section is a genuine drawcard, with themed decorations, costumes and balloons for every occasion from baby showers to footy finals. An in-store balloon inflation station means shoppers can walk out with helium balloons, confetti balloons or full balloon bouquets already made up, rather than trying to inflate them at home. Craft-focused visitors will find fabric by the metre, sewing notions, wool and a broad haberdashery range, while the homewares aisles cover everything from cushions and manchester to kitchenware and storage. Click and collect is available for online orders, making it easy to grab supplies on the way through rather than browsing the whole store. For locals working on a home project, teachers stocking up for the classroom, or anyone in need of last-minute party supplies, this South Melbourne store covers a lot of ground under one roof.
