Turn your sewing skills into a business or create new window treatments for your home with WT Online sewing classes.   In this class you will learn how to design, draft patterns, and sew pleated valances.  With a tailored appearance and endless variations, this is one of the most popular styles in workrooms today.
 
In this three-week online course you will complete a lined, hemmed, straight box pleated, board mounted valance and a scalloped or arc style valance (that you design!) with contrast lined pleats, micro welt cord, interlining and lining.  This valance will be board mounted with Velcro.
 
This 3-week class includes:
Box pleated valance project kit with Velcro, micro welt cord, pattern paper and shaper wire. You will need to provide your own face fabric, lining and interlining fabric, and boards.
Three 1-hour online, interactive lessons with instructor Susan Woodcock, presented live.
