Sew What? Inc. is here to help!
There are a lot of options in theatrical drapery -- especially when it comes to fabrics and materials. We're here to assist you with your fabric selection, and see to it that your curtains and drapery are made according to your exact needs and specifications. We have an extensive line of Fire Retardant fabrics and can offer you a wide variety of both theatrical and special event fabrics.

How do we keep our Theatrical Fabric prices so low?
There is one thing about us that you should know; We operate a "wo
rk-room" not a show room.
Instead of offering fancy sample cards and expensive four-color brochures we ask that you request only those colors in the color palette that you are interested in and we will gladly send them to you!

Working Within Your Budget
We'll help you work within your budget. For example, did you know that Inherently Fire Retardant Encore Velour is a newly introduced theater curtain material that combines the rich look of velour with inherent fire resistance? So the higher cost of this fabric is offset by fact that it does not need to be re-treated in order to be considered a fire retardant curtain.
Additionally, you may not realize that Commando Cloth is a "lower cost" fabric which may be used for stage curtains in applications with restricted budgets - making it an excellent alternative to velour.

We welcome any questions about your own theatrical drapery needs!
Read our FAQ's about basic stage drapery specifications for more information, including standard curtain fullness, questions on webbing reinforcement, selvages, bottom hems and other related drapery questions.
