Lucky Stripes

Striped fabric is ideal for a roman valance.  Since the folds are horizontal they don’t interfere with the stripes.  A bias cord was added along the top edge made from the same stripe but bringing out a little more detail and contrast ties finish off this treatment.  A little trick of the trade – use a lock seam rod inside the bottom fold to not only help weigh it down but to keep the corners from flaring as well.
