It’s a Cinch

A cinch valance is made from rectangle of fabric that is pulled up or “cinched” at intervals across the width. Where you ‘cinch” the valance can change the look from a wide sweeping treatment to a balloon variety with proportional scalloped areas. The cinching is accomplished with the use of shirring tape or small plastic rings stitched to the back of the valance and threaded with Roman-shade cording. Shirring tape is a timesaver – the tape houses one of the two cords that are pulled up to gather the valance once the tape is stitched to the back. Designer tassels or matching ties can be looped around the gathered areas to add a decorative touch

Over-the-Top Tabs

Walk into the window treatment section of any major home center and you’ll be amazed at the expansive selection of designer-style drapery poles, rods, and finials. Pairing a tab-top valance with a chic new rod is a great way to dress windows quickly for a pro>
The fabric that extends above the rod pocket is called the “header” and this simple feature can alter the overall feel of a window treatment. As a general rule, the taller the header, the more romantic and feminine the look will be. Wide headers, 3 in. or more tall, can randomly flop forward if lined in contrast fabric, adding design interest to the top edge. Narrow 1-in. or 2-in. headers give valances a more classic, less fussy appearance than a wide header and work well if the rod pocket is sized for 1-in. curtain rod or pole. The absence of a header provides a streamlined and sophisticated look, especially when the valance features an ample rod pocket for a 2-in.wide curtain rod or pole.

Sheers on Transoms

A clever way to add warmth without hiding a beautiful transom window is to make a panel with sheer fabric inserts.
1. Purchase the Panels: For one set of finished panels, purchase two sheer panels and one fabric panel for the middle. All panels should be the same width. For a decorative accent, purchase cording in the amount of four times the width of one panel. Cording should have a lip to insert in the seams.
2. Cut the Panels: Install a drapery pole at the desired height. Hang sheers from rings and place pins at the points where you want the top and bottom sheer panels placed. To determine the length of the center fabric panel, first measure the distance between the pins on the sheer panels and add 1½ in. for seams. Cut two fabric panels to this measurement. Cut one sheer ¾ in. below the top pin and ¾ in. above the bottom pin, which allows for seams. Repeat for the remaining sheer panel.
3. Stitch: With the right sides of the fabrics together and using a ½ in. seam allowance, stitch the sheer panels to the top and bottom edges of the fabric panel, inserting cording in the seams if desired.
