Dining Room Valance

Hello World!  It has been a whirlwind for the last week.  I must apologize for not posting anything sooner.  My Uncle passed away on February 1st and I drove my Mom (aka Betty Lou) along with The Dedicated Daughter to Springfield, Missouri for the funeral and then over to Harrison, Arkansas for the gravesite ceremony.  We stayed a couple of days after the funeral so my Mom could have some time with her other brother.


Prior to the trip up to the Ozarks I had finished a valance for the dining room.  This was my first time to sew anything following a pattern.  I usually just sort of whip things up.  Here is the pattern that I started with. 

 I followed the Scallop Pleat Valance pattern along with the help of my Mother.  And, no, it was not completed in two hours.  

 Here's the fabric I bought at JoAnn's for $8.50.  I bought all that was left on the bolt and it was on sale!  Yay!

 May I introduce Violetta the Valance all complete.

Next up, I will sew panels, but I'm waiting for the fabric to go on sale.  So, in the meantime, I think I'll whip up a bunch of valances for the rest of my naked windows.  


Thanks for popping in for a visit.  As always, have a grand evening and remember to be kind to one another.  


Toodles,
Kathryn
