Claudine Valance by Pate Meadows
This valance works best when constructed out of a medium-weight decorative fabric. The side. horns and middle horn are lined in a contrasting fabric and the swag sections are lined with regular drapery lining; however, piping must be used to prevent the lining from showing at the bottom of the treatment.
Use a drapery interlining to give the valance the best body and shape. Interlining is a flannel-like cotton fabric that hangs between the face fabric and the lining. It is available in white and natural colors and can be found at most decorative fabric stores or at www.homesewingdepot.com. It is not the same thing as interfacing.
We mounted our valance on an iron rod approximately 1” in diameter. A larger diameter rod may be used; however, the tabs will have to be adjusted.
