Sew Necessary

Sew Necessary Louise and Natalie Szankar Why do you do what you do? We love fabric! We ooh and ahh over textures, colors, and patterns.

We feel that Medicine Hat could use a fabric store that offers a fabulous selection of fabric specifically for garments; whether it be a special occasion, a great suit that is unique or a comfy t-shirt to wear everyday. Seeing what people are sewing, and being able to educate them on the right fabric and sewing techniques.

Product Comparison — Linen vs. Ramie

Linen vs. Ramie — both beautiful, both natural, but each with its own personality.
✨ Linen: Soft, breathable, classic texture. Perfect for garments with drape and ease.
✨ Ramie: Strong, crisp, and slightly more structured. Great for pieces that need durability and shape.
Whichever you choose, both make stunning handmade clothing.
