Table Cloths

Additionally, you can also add some custom tablecloths for good measure. Tablecloths add that much-needed sophistication. With the design you have in mind, you can create tablecloths that are not only stylish, but also functional, using the best-quality fabrics, be they 100% cotton or vintage. Make one for different occasions!

Add or Update Window Treatments

  • Valances - Valances can add that sense of luxury to your windows, framing them to be more attractive. 
  • Roman Blinds - You can also have some Roman Blinds, which create a more sleek look for your windows while keeping the rays of the sun out. They have that smooth look when fully opened, unlike other blinds that stack or bundle up.
  • Drapery - Curtains are a classic way to add style or personality to a dull space. Add a pop of color, or go for neutral colors. Perfect for big windows to make those dinners that much more romantic.

HIGH QUALITY UPHOLSTERY SERVICES

High Quality, High Value

They just need a facelift by replacing the worn upholstery. Breath new life into it by choosing elegant, upholstery-grade fabrics, making them look as good as new.

Considering Style & Function in Drapery

A room is incomplete without drapery. Drapery gives depth and dimension to a space, and helps you set the tone of the room. Every drapery decor is based on individual taste, window orientation, and function. Here are ways drapery styles & function can work together:. 

Block Out Sunlight with Roman Shades

This clean-cut drapery can look a little rigid, but choosing the right fabric can fix that. What’s great about roman shades is that there’s no fuss - all you have to do is pull a string, and it’s rolled up. Roman shades are often made of thick, black-out type fabrics to control the amount of natural sunlight coming into a room. This makes it great for rooms where you need to keep distraction from the outside at a minimum, like bedrooms or study rooms.

Using Valances in Small Spaces

In areas such as kitchens, where long drapery is impractical, window valance is your go-to style. Valances are simple and easy to clean. They’re also pretty versatile. In other rooms, you can use valances along with long drapery to give your windows more depth. They’re also a great way to hide your curtain rods.

Find quality bargains on some of our best fabric designs and materials! You will find rock bottom pricing for more than half the price.
CLEARANCE SALE!

Let the Light in With Sheer Drapery

Sheer drapery can give your windows an elegant look. They’re mostly used in living rooms because they let more light in than any kind of drapery fabric. While this means there’s less privacy, they’re often paired with opaque fabric for contrast. One popular way of styling sheer drapery is flanking it with geometric or floral patterns.

Box-pleated Drapery for Privacy

Box-pleated drapery are often used in more modern, contemporary homes. It’s best used in living areas where you need privacy, because it often uses heavier, more opaque fabrics. People often use plain fabric for box-pleated drapery, but they look great with patterned fabric too!

Fabrics That Go’s Brick-and-mortar has over 10,000 bolts of fabrics in stock! We do custom drapery to suit your home’s style.

Our Recent Drapery Project

Fabrics that Go designed this project from custom drapes and curtains to complete upholstery of dining chairs and the living room accent chair with ottoman. Bedding and pillows were also customized to the client's specifications. All of the work done is in theme to design and functionality.

Claire’s Rare Button Collection

Seeing some objects from the past often brings nostalgic feelings. We are often brought back in time by the sight of these objects. Some objects inspire our artistic side and get our creativity flowing. The vintage buttons in Claire's Rare Button Collection, which she collected over the decades, are capable of invoking both within us. Today these rare buttons can be considered vintage and would be very hard to find anywhere else.

 

Claire

Claire Grunstein is the 91-year-old owner of Fabrics that go. She came to Tucson with her husband Herman in the late ’70s with the intention of retiring. She retired from her family’s textile business in New Jersey. Retirement did not sit well with the hardworking couple though, and they decided to open a tiny hobby shop a few months after retiring. The tiny hobby shop grew into what is now Fabrics That Go.

Now 74 years and at 91 years old, Claire is one of the oldest hands-on proprietors in the country. Although the day-to-day operations of the business are handled by her son Robert, she still works up to 30 hours a week and you can usually see her if you drop by the store.

The Button Collection

One of Claire’s passions is collecting buttons, and she currently has an incredibly large rare button collection. These pieces were accumulated over time. There are thousands of buttons in the collection and all of them are for sale depending on the rarity and availability. They can range from a lot in stock to only a few buttons left. Most of these rare buttons are of antique quality and made with superb craftsmanship.

The Materials

The materials used to make these buttons are equally rare and exotic. There are those made from Czechoslovakia glass, Indian metals, silver, and bakelite. There are also those made of organic materials like Mother of Pearl, bone, horn and tree nut.

You’ll even find pieces that are works of art in themselves, like the beaded buttons and the fabric covered ones.

What They Are Used For

These rare buttons are normally used on clothing but they can also be used to decorate pillows and upholstery. Quilters enjoy using these buttons on their pieces because of their great variety. Due to the artistic qualities of these rare buttons, they are even used for jewelry like children’s charms and as decorations and clasps on purses. They have even been embedded on coffee tables. The possibilities are endless!

All designers, artists, and DIYers are welcome to check out Claire’s rare button collection. You might be inspired to use them in your future creative projects. Your imagination is the limit with what you can do with these buttons. Come by as soon as you can, since some of these buttons have very limited stock left. Just drop by Fabrics That Go and ask to see Claire’s rare buttons, you will be guided back to explore the amazing pieces, and to choose which buttons you’d like to purchase.

Fabrics That Go is home to rare fabric, buttons, and more! Our staff is also skilled in custom drapery, and upholstery, and will work according to your needs. Drop by the shop to see our vast collection.

Different Types of Drapery for Your Arizona Home

If you have just moved into a new home or you’re looking to update your current living space, one thing you should remember to do is to put up curtains or drapery. Not only does it help block out the sunlight, but it can bring together your decor and help you save on cooling/heating costs! Here are a few different types of drapery for your Arizona home.

Fabrics That Go is a one stop shop for drapery fabrics, tassels, rods, and other accessories. We also make custom drapery according to your needs and specifications!

Learn More About Our Drapery & Accessories

Sheer Curtains

Are you looking for more of an aesthetic than functionality? Pick up sheer curtains to stay on trend! They come in several colors, but are usually solid color instead of patterned. While they won’t block sunlight, they will typically block most of the view of your home from the outside. Styles that work best with this type of curtain is something like shabby chic.

Blackout Curtains

These are most used in windows that get a lot of sunlight throughout the day. They block both the light and the heat from coming into your home. This means you can save on cooling costs! The downside is that you can’t always find them appealing to the eye. Fabrics That Go can help guide you along the way and suggest good fabric for this project.

Grommet

When you see curtains, more than likely, these are the ones you see. They are most popular due to their simple design and are signified by the rings at the top, which make it easy to open and close these curtains.

The fabric used is usually light to medium weight.

Rod Pocket

These type of curtains have a pocket sewn in on the top for the rod to go into. The fabric typically used here is lightweight.

Fabrics That Go has many different fabric weights and colors for you to choose from. 

Upload your drapery project ideas here.

Refreshing Your Home Design For The New Year

After all your guests have gone home after the holidays, you may be looking at a home that needs a little TLC. With a new year upon us, nothing feels like “new year, new me” like a change in your surroundings. If you're feeling a little overwhelmed on where to start, look no further!  Here are some easy tips to refresh your home design for the new year:

 New Paint Or Wallpaper

The quickest way to refresh a space is to change the color of the walls. Pick a color or wallpaper pattern that makes you feel happy, or one that complements the color palette you’re looking for. If you’re looking for the new “it” color, consider the following - muted pastels, dark greens, or lilac gray.

Cleaning/Replacing Curtains

If redoing your walls seems like too much work, you can wash your curtains. Check the fabric to see how best to clean them before throwing it in the wash. Doing this can make your home feel refreshed as curtains can collect dust and dirt throughout the year. If you want more change, replace your curtains with a new pattern or color. 

New Fabric for Cushions & Throws

If your living room is looking a little dull, new material always gives it new life. Use new fabric for your throws and cushions. Fabrics That Go has over 10,000 different fabrics to choose from, and we'll do the measurements and labor for you! 

Bring in your ideas to Fabrics That Go to get professional consultations on style, & costs for customized throws and cushions.

New Decor

Another small change you can implement in your home is by updating your decor and trinkets around your home. This may be something like small plants or succulents, decorative books, baskets, etc. Just be sure they all come together with with a similar theme or color palette.

Update Furniture

With all the hosting you’ve done during the holidays, the fabric on your furniture may have seen its last days. If the thought of replacing your furniture entirely is too daunting of a task, you can just reupholster your current furniture - either by replacing the fabric with the same color or a new pattern.

DIY Designs For The Holidays

Thanksgiving has ended and the season of giving has begun. With the holidays coming around, make sure your home has all the right touches for your family traditions. If you want a customized touch to your decor, think about these DIY designs to make for your home.

FABRIC WREATHS

If you’d like to use some extra scrap fabric, consider making a fabric wreath. Not only will it be less cleanup than a fresh wreath, but it can be used for many holidays to come! Fabric wreaths are extremely easy to make and require no sewing. See how easy it is with this tutorial by Buy This Cook That.

HOLIDAY THEMED PILLOWS

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or another holiday, it’s simple to create a pillow that falls into the theme of your holiday.

It can be as simple as a color scheme or you can use a pattern. To combine simple and a theme, try red and white stripes for festive candy cane pillows!

CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS

Creating your own Christmas stockings could become a family tradition. DIY stockings would be unique, and fairly easy to make.

They will hold toys, trinkets and family memories. If you’re looking for a great tutorial to follow along with, check out this tutorial by Happy At Home.

TREE SKIRT

When decorating for the holidays, you can’t skip the Christmas tree skirt. By making this a DIY project, you get to choose what style you want that you may not be able to find at a store and adorn it with decorations like tassels, sequins, etc.

If you’re looking for the best patterns and colors, take a trip to Tucson-based Fabrics That Go. With holiday spirit abound, owners Claire and Bob love helping their Tucson community and have been doing so for 74 years. The staff at the store can help reupholster your furniture for the upcoming holiday festivities. While you’re there, talk to the helpful staff if you need advice on how to finish a DIY project.

Welcome Your Family For Thanksgiving With These Decorating Tips

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, you’ll want to make sure that your home is decorated in a way that makes your home cozy and ready to welcome the family. Here are a few tips to get your home holiday ready.

TABLE RUNNER OR TABLE CLOTH

The best way to begin decorating is by starting with the base of your table - table cloths and/or table runners. This is an easy way to spruce up an older table, especially if your table is showing signs of wear. If you can’t find the right pattern or color to match your home, this is a simple DIY project that doesn’t require a lot of sewing! Once you’ve laid down your runner or tablecloth, add some pumpkins or greenery to get in the festive spirit.

Add some Arizona Flavor by choosing Southwestern fabrics! Shop at Fabrics That Go and get 10-50% off thousands of fabrics! Southwestern & Outdoor Included!

DINNER NAPKINS

You don’t have to be skilled at folding napkins to make your table look elegant. A simple fold with decorative touches make it look just as nice! Think about tucking the silverware into the napkin to keep everything in one spot, or tie the napkin with twine and greenery to match the rest of the decor on the table. You can also add a name tag on top of the napkins to give it a personalized touch.

COZY THROWS & PILLOWS

Make sure to have plenty of comfy pillows & throw blankets around for when the weather cools down and the family begins to get chilly.

Choose neutral fabric for simplistic style, or get adventurous and pick a unique pattern to make a statement. Come in to Fabrics That Go for any style!

All of these decor ideas can be purchased at many home decor stores, but you can accomplish a more unique and customized home just as easily with a little time and a little bit of sewing. If you’re having trouble finding the right fabric for these projects, the store Fabrics That Go in Tucson, Arizona specializes in everything to do with DIY projects.

Decorating Your Home For Halloween

When the weather starts to cool down and the kids are back in school, you know Halloween is not too far. To get in the proper spooky spirit, here are some tips on how to decorate your home for Halloween!

PUMPKIN PARTY

The best way to get into the spirit of Halloween is to decorate your home with pumpkins.

Whether that’s artificial pumpkins, or you gather the family to carve real pumpkins, nothing says fall and Halloween quite like decorating with pumpkins!

SCARY SPIDERS

Typically most people try to get rid of the spiders in their home. Halloween time calls for plenty of scary spiders and creepy crawlers. From tiny plastic spiders to a life size version, you can never go wrong when decorating your home with spiders and their webs. Try a DIY project to make your own spiders (maybe even some friendly ones). Don’t forget to pick up fuzzy fabric to really bring out a tarantula’s form!

SPOOKY SPELL BOOKS

Boil, boil, toil and trouble. When your witchy instincts kick in, you’ll want to make sure your home is Halloween complete with spell books. This DIY project is a breeze. Buy some leather fabric, distress and antique it, then cover an old book. Stack your spellbooks with some potion bottles (hint: wine bottles give it an adult spin) and you’re ready to put a spell on your next guest.

CREEPY CLOTHS

Bring your decor together in the fabrics most easily changed - pillows, tablecloths, and napkins! These three cloth items live in everyone’s house and if you just want a touch of Halloween, what better way than to change this out in your home? They can be found in many stores, however these are also easy DIY projects. Find frightening fabrics and know that doing all three of these requires minimal sewing skills. Check out this DIY from HGTV for petrifying pillow inspiration.

Whether you’re making fuzzy spiders, authentic spell books, or decorating your home more inconspicuously with pillows and tablecloths, the fact of the matter is that you’re going to be searching for fabrics to pull off these DIY projects. Fabrics That Go has the ghoulish fabrics you need for this haunted holiday. They carry rare buttons along with 10,000+ fabrics to choose from! With 74 years in business, Fabrics That Go has experts that can give advice on many DIY projects - including those paralyzing pillows you’ll want to make.
