Marley Valance

Description:
© 2005 Pate-Meadows Designs, Inc.

  • This unique valance is a casual take on a formal style and can be adapted to fit any size window. "Loose" fabrics, cottons, linens, light-weight polys and silks are great for this design, to minimize bulk at the ties and to flow and drape well.
  • The finished length of the valance is approximately 21-1/2" at the swag, 18" at the middle horn and 32" at the side jabot.
  • The curtain valance shown in the photograph is mounted on a wooden rod with rings; however, it can be adapted to hang independently from decorative finials mounted to the wall.


    Details

    Please read all instructions before beginning. Instructions are for a valance that is 36-44” finished width. The information needed to add to or reduce the width is included. The finished length of the valance is approximately 21 ½” at the swag, 17” at the middle jabot and 32” at the side jabots. The jabots are lined in a contrasting fabric. A facing made with decorative fabric is used along the bottom edge of the swag lining so that ivory/white lining does show to the front.

  • This valance works best when constructed out of a medium-weight decorative fabric.
  • Drapery interlining is recommended, giving the valance better shaping and the color of the contrasting fabric does not bleed through to the face fabric when sun shines through the valance.
