Hi, my name is Shari and I am the owner behind MenzFabrics.ca. Here I will share a little about me. I learned to sew when I was around six years old. Have always loved everything about sewing. When I was a teen which was a very long time ago I use to make myself some wild looking outfits and to be fair it was the 80's. lol  The attraction to sewing is there is always something new to learn. I spent 8 years running a sewing and alteration business. Where I learned a lot about clothing construction. I also worked a couple of years for a home decorating studio. Then I had the opportunity to work at a world famous Canadian men's underwear company. I love it. Always learning new techniques in sewing. I have experience in working with fabrics, whether it is apparel or even home decor.

Shari is also an Ambassador for Dress A Girl Around The World. In 2024 almost 500 dresses where collected. Half of the dresses went to a school in Uganda and the other half of the dresses went to the Ukraine. You can find out more about this initiative at

or you can send me an email shari.dressagirl@gmail.com If you have any questions.

We at Menzfabrics.ca do love the creativity and inspiration our patrons have. Explaining what we mean by that, is when you look at a fabric what do you see? This is where the inspiration kicks in. What better way to explain an idea than to show you a photo. 

Photo was taken by Duane MacLeod and the coat was made by Duane MacLeod @mainelymenswear.

I hope you check out his blog post about this Adorable coat he made for his grandson @mainelymenswear.
He used fabric from Menzfabrics.ca  and this, too cute for words, coat is what he envisioned to make with the fabric he saw. We think it is fabulous.
What are you going to make?
Can't wait to work with you and see what you make!
