Project of the Week
Lined Window Valances
Valances are almost a One Size Fits All item- small windows end up with more gathers than large windows - making them a great boutique item. Simple Lined Valances are quick and easy and can be stitched up by the dozen. Fat Quarter Lined Valances with embellishments cost more and take a bit more time, but they bring in a much higher dollar at boutiques. Use your imagination to make them unique, stunning and fun!
