  • Waterfall Valance Measurement and Installation (Parts 1, 2, and 3)
    In this video, I’ll guide you through measuring, sewing, and installing a waterfall valance for a beautifully finished look. Follow these step-by-step instructions:
    Measuring and Sewing the Valance
    1. Calculate the Drop
    • Measure your desired finished drop. Multiply this measurement by 2.50.
    • Example: For an 18” drop, the calculation is 18” x 2.50 = 45” drop.
    2. Hem the Fabric
    • Hem both sides of the fabric for a clean, professional finish.
    3. Create the Pocket
    • Sew down the middle of the fabric to create a pocket for your pole or rod.
    • The size of the pocket will depend on your specific pole or rod dimensions.
    4. Mark the Drop Length
    • Measure and mark the bottom of the fabric at the calculated drop length (e.g., 45”). This serves as your guide for creating the swag from the top.
    5. Draw the Design
    • Using the marked guide, sketch the remaining parts of the design as demonstrated in the video.
    6. Finish the Valance
    • Sew any necessary seams to close up the valance.
    Installing the Swags
    1. Outer Swags
    • Start with the two outer swags.
    • Place the middle sections of each swag through the pole on either side, creating a mirrored image. Let the ends hang down for now.
    2. Middle Swag
    • Move to the middle section.
    • Thread the left side of the middle swag through the pole so it meets the centre.
    • Bring the hanging end of the left-side swag through the pole, completing the middle swag.
    3. Right-Side Swag
    • Lift the right-side swag and thread it through the pole.
    • Return to the left side of the pole and lift the hanging end of the left swag through the pole as well.
    4. Create the Pattern
    • Arrange the swags to form a layered pattern:
    • One swag below.
    • Another swag above.
    • The right-side swag underneath the middle section.
    • The dominant part of the design will sit in the centre, with sections of the swags flowing down on the left and right sides.
    Final Touches
    • Adjust the arrangement for an elegant and balanced look.
    • Refer to the video for additional guidance.
    If you have any questions or need further clarification, drop a comment, and I’ll be happy to assist.

    Yes every window is different but by explaining what line you are drawing sure would help. And to answer others questions...a T square can be purchased at any hardware store

    Being from a working class background I have long dreamed of having beautiful formal curtains and saved up to finally buy the very pricey velvet and highend vintage brocade tapestry with a damask pattern ..I then went to purchase fringe and braides gimp with tassels and almost had a heart attack at the 30 dollar a yard price tag .....but the fringe and tassel gods smiled upon me (LOL) and sent me a gift of an old lady with 60 yards of very beautiful beaded fringe as well ass tassel fringe with matching large tie backs who was willing to part with the entire lot for 50 bucks .Your videos are helping me sooo much now that I am attempting to make my curtains with fringe swag valances.It is very noble for you to share your skills and talents so that even those of us with a meager budget can enjoy Fancy curtains !

    • @DesSwags
      @DesSwags  10 лет назад

      Quando ho fatto 2 anni fa non mi tengo le misure e le misurazioni differisce per tutte le finestre. Ma, come una guida approssimativa, pensare alla profondità desiderata per la lunghezza finale quindi aggiungere 1 e 1/2 più tempo quindi consentire tessuto extra per il tuo palo e per le emozioni.
      E grazie per guardare i miei video.
      When I made it 2 years ago I did not keep the measurements and the measurements differs for all windows. But as a rough guide, think of the depth you want for your finish length then add 1 and 1/2 time more then allow extra fabric for your pole and for the thrills.
      And thank you for watching my videos.

  • @DesSwags
    @DesSwags  12 лет назад

    Everybody's windows are different sizes, that's why I don't give the measurements because this size may not fit your window.

      Fino a quando faccio la Sottotitolo per voi in italiano. Si prega tranne la traduzione parte 2 nella casella di descrizione, questo sarebbe darvi qualche idea fuori quello che sto parlando, ma è semplicemente quello di guardare e imparare, non ho parlato molto in questi giorni thoughs. Ma grazie per guardare i miei video. Mentre il tempo di andare in vorrei cercare di migliorare nella mia comunicazione alla nazione.
