Make a Valance

If you are making a Top-Down/Bottom-Up or a Top-Down Only shade, you will use a projected mount. Your Valance will be attached directly to the Headrail, which you should have already made. You can go to the next instruction topic.

Now that you have made your mounting board, it is time to measure and cut fabrics and sew.

Place the Valance fabric side up on a work surface. Smooth into place. Measure from the bottom edge to the desired length. Press under along the line of pins, open up fold and trim excess top fabric and lining so that you have 3/4" extending past the top of the fold.
