Dana Valance Pattern

This elegant valance pattern with sash and buttons can be adapted to fit various window widths. Our pattern, as is, makes a valance that is 42” finished width. The finished length of the valance is approximately 22 inches at the center and approximately 25 inches at the sides.

Dana valance pattern works best when constructed out of a medium to heavy-weight decorative fabric for the face fabric. We recommend a light-weight fabric, such as silk taffeta, for the sash.

The valance has a slightly shaped bottom with facings at the top and bottom.

Layered Roman shades pair a tailored fabric shade with complementary curtains. This approach boosts room insulation and creates a polished, custom design. You can control light by blending blackout liners with sheer backdrops.

RECOMMENDED FABRICS: You can use quilt weight cotton, canvas, denim, or linen for the exterior. I recommend quilt weight cotton for the lining. Try using cork or vinyl for the contrast, or you can use quilt weight cotton, canvas, denim, or linen.

TIP – If making the bag from all cotton, you can eliminate the Interfacing and substitute the Fusible Fleece for Foam Stabilizer. This will result in a more structured bag.

Delaine Valance Pattern

Watch Video Instructions below

This fun, tailored valance is an unusual take on a pleated style and can be adapted to fit any size window. Our instructions are for a valance that is 42” finished width. The information needed to add to or reduce the width is included. The finished length of the valance is approximately 18” at the swag and 15 ½” at the pleated area and sides. The
pattern allows for 3 ½” returns at each side where the valance returns to the wall to cover the hardware.

We used a contrast fabric for the pleat and pleat lining. The swag sections are lined in regular drapery lining (natural or white).

We added trim to the bottom of the swag and side sections. It is not recommended to put trim across the bottom of the pleated sections as the trim has a tendency to cause the pleats to flare out.
