The critters can be enjoyed both indoors and out with this delightful valance.
Here we did a simple box pleat and put a curve to the bottom of the treatment.
Adding a contrast piping and some side panels help to anchor it to the room.

Where can I get patterns for these treatments
Thanks Jan, each of these window treatments are custom made to fit the individual windows but if you email me your measurements, I can help you out with cutting out a pattern for yourself.
How are the valances hung? On boards or rods?
Hi Stacy, these valances are hung on a board. I attach them with hook and loop tape for ease of hanging and cleaning but they can also be stapled right on the boards. To hang them on rods a rod pocket would have to be sewn either above the pleats or behind the treatment if you don’t want seams showing. Thanks for your comment.
Hello Susan,
You already replied to me once today about this valance that I like so much, but I hadn’t seen this specific page on your website before now. I’ve looked at many examples of valances, and this is exactly what I want to make.
Would you be willing to help me create a pattern for myself as referenced above?
My 3 windows are:
35-1/2″W x 47-3/4″H
72″W x 47-1/2″ H
72″W x 47-3/4″H
The window frames are all 3-1/2″ wide.
Thank you so much!
