I would like to attempt to make the empire swag valance with some material that I've already purchased. I do not have a clue where to begin. Is there any sewing pattern or directions that you can send me?
Thanks, Dawn
Answer:
Dawn,
I recommend you to purchaise one of these McCall sewing patterns that are popular among many DIY lovers. McCall company is well known for more than a century for designing and selling sewing patterns and instructions for fashions, crafts and home decor projects. Here are their patterns for different valances, including empire valance style. The patterns fit different window widths, so hopefully you would be able to ajust them to your window.
Good luck with your project and happy decorating, Alina
