Learn the secrets for sewing valances! Longtime home decor designers and friends, Sue and Ellen have teamed up to teach you all the steps necessary to create the perfect valance — from choosing the shape, measurements and fabric to board mounting the finished window dressing. You’ll learn how to construct a sophisticated, symmetrical valance, as well as a more modern, asymmetric design. You’ll also get creative ideas and techniques to personalize your valance with appliqué, trims, piping and more. You can even design with a child in mind, recreating their artwork on a window topper. Get step-by-step instruction on how to achieve perfect pleats, add protective lining and construct a simple mount for each of your versatile valances.
Important Pattern Information: The sewing patterns on which this class is based — McCall’s 5286 and 6299 — are not included with your purchase and may be out of print — check with online retailers. This class is rich in essential sewing techniques, so if the pattern is out of print, we encourage you to look for an alternative pattern with similar style details. You might also be able to find the original pattern through a private reseller.
