For a more relaxed style, Jennifer shows you the steps to sew a gathered swag valance. After that, you’ll get tips for sewing a classic box-pleat valance. You can even add fabric buttons for a designer-inspired touch! Finish the class by learning how to measure, match, cut and repeat large patterns for a pleated swag valance. Plus, Jennifer explains how to mount or hang any valance on different sizes of windows.
