Using Your Own Fabric

   
"Your Own Fabric"
We want your furniture to be just the way you want it. If you don't find just the right fabric in our collection, you can send us your own fabric. We've developed a checklist to make this simple (and dare we say fun?)! Follow our directions and expect great things from Clasen Home! Read the checklist here.

"Your Own Fabric" Form
On each product page, you will find a link to the "Your Own Fabric" form. We have created this form so that you can indicate how our sewers and upholsterers should apply your fabrics and trims. Please complete this form and send it with your fabric. We'll make your special furniture just as it appears in our catalog unless you let us know your special requests. We encourage you to call us to check if your special directions can be fulfilled.

What kind of fabric should I look for?
Medium to heavyweight cottons and blends or upholstery-grade "home decorating" fabrics are ideal. We recommend choosing a fabric with at least a 54" width. Velvets and silks may also be used on some furniture - please call customer service to inquire.

How Much Fabric Will I Need to Buy?
You will find the yardage requirements for each piece of furniture listed on its product page. If you are using railroaded fabric (generally a striped Your Own Fabricspattern) or a fabric with a very large pattern repeat, we may require a bit more yardage for pattern-matching at the seams. Gathered headboard bands require an additional yard of fabric, as does headboard channeling. Treatments such as tufting will also increase the amount of fabric required. Please call Customer Service if any of these situations applies to your order. If you are sending twist cord to be used in place of welt, please call for yardage. Clasen Home will supply the hardware for fabric-covered buttons - you need only send the fabric to cover them! Any fabric we don't use will be returned to you with your finished furniture.

Tricky Fabrics & Trims
Although rare, some fabrics are impractical for our production process, and we reserve the right to decline those fabrics. Examples of impractical fabrics would be very stretchy fabrics or transparent fabrics. For ethical reasons, we do not accept leather or animal fur. We can (and do) work with vinyl and faux fur! If you are using twist cord in place of the welt on a product, you must supply a twist cord with a sewable lip.

Pricing and Payment
Clasen Home products are listed at our lowest price for the "Your Own Fabrics" service. We require a down payment when we process your order. Work will begin on your product when we receive the fabric and payment. The other portion is payable when we ship out your order. Please note that COM orders are non-returnable. See our customer service page for full details on our shipping policies.
