The client wanted a mock roman valance. Usually this means evenly spaced folds of equal size, but she had in mind something that looked more like a roman shade actually pulled up............ like this:
These valances go over the sheer shades that were bound in the same orange upholstery fabric.
This is a variation on a flat-back hobbled roman.
This treatment took some rumination and experimentation. I like how it turned out, and I like the clean back. Next time I know how to make it without the horizontal stitching lines showing.

Sorry about this problem!
SO.........WHAT ARE WE WORKING ON TODAY??
Is there a pattern for the valance in the first picture- the solid brown mock roman valance that looks like a roman shade pulled up? thanks.
