This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. We have our valance put together front and back.
We have pressed our seams, we have sewn the side seams, we have pressed them as well to
have a nice clean edge on the side. The bottom we left the edge rolled up so we would not
have any white showing when you are looking at the curtain from the outside. After turning
the valance I based it along the top edge just so the pieces held better together for
the purpose of stapling them to the valance board up here. I have a pen marking the center
of my valance and I need to make a pleat. The center pleat that we are going to be using.
I need to measure out 5 inches on each side. I would do this side first and I would fold
in from that point over from the center and I'm going to pin that. We would sew that in
a moment to make sure that, that stays. On this side I'm going to measure 5 inches and
from there fold in to the center.
Pin that. I would carry that to the sewing machine and sew based along that top line.
Then we would move on to the next step in the next clip which would be attaching the
buttons to the front of the valance in the next clip.
