Valance

Working from a photo provided by a client, I made these 5 identical panels as the valance for a large picture window. There are 3 fabrics used here along with 5 different trim elements. The gold cord trim had to be sewn on by hand. Since all 5 would be hanging side by side, I made sure they were absolutely identical down to the number of beads and placement of the beaded trim. I was disconcerted to find out later that the original in the home dec book was glued together!
Not shown in this photo are the gold metallic sheers that go underneath the valance panels and 8 reversible placemats and the shaped full lengh table runner that mirrors the valance panels. .
