A pretty valance is an easy way to add some color and style to your window. Ours is lined, adding a bit of weight to help the valance take on some sun-blocking duties, and to allow the pleats to more easily press into crisp folds.
Window coverings are a great DIY project; and simple enough for the beginning sewer. Straight edges. Simple, straight stitches. But even the most basic curtain project starts with knowing how to take proper measurements.
Looking for a quick and easy way to fancy-up your windows? A valance is faster than traditional curtain panels, and can even be used in conjunction with curtains or blinds to add some fashion flair. It’s like a little window skirt.
