Sew a Curtain Valance with Scallop Edges

By Debbie Colgrove, About.com Guide

• Find a plate or circle template that will be the size of your desired scallops.
• Fold the width of the valance into even sections that are approximately the size of the desired scallops.
• Use your plate or template to mark the scallop on the fabric. (Leave the side hem pressed under)
• Cut the fabric to the scallop markings. Cut one layer at a time if that is what your cutting tool will handle. The goal is to create neatly, evenly cut scallops rather than chop through all the layers at once.
