LEarn how to make your own valence

These custom valence are made with typical home decor fabric, lined and stabilized with an iron-on-interfacing. I used Craft Pelon 809 .

The back is lined with a basic muslin.

As you can see from the image above there is also a small pocket near the bottom of the valence for a wire to be inserted. The wire is specifically for the valence to hold its shape. This pocket is sewn into the lining before the valence is constructed.
