What to do with a Waverly Valance

AGAIN - I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME
MY NEW FOLLOWERS. IT IS A PLEASURE
FOR YOU TO JOIN ME.

I am not a stranger to buying curtains, valances or

shades at a Charity Store. In fact I love these

types of stores. And in todays economy you

need to get a bargain for your money.

And I will also buy it even if it has holes.

In fact  where there are holes in them then

I am more apt to cut it up! And I have been

cutting these things up ever since the first

day that I was married. It was my calling!

Nothing was safe around me except for

the 1970's polyester. I despised that rough

cold material. Anyway if you need or want

large amounts of cloth at a good price then

this is the way to go.

All you have to do is wash the stuff up and use it.

Sometime ago I came across a very long panel of some

beautiful Waverly valances. So sorry that I forgot

to take pics of the pretty thing.  Anyway Pep had

some sofa pillows that needed recovering and

so the valance fitted right in with her color scheme.

Did I forget to mention that the Valance was lined!

And also that the pretty red buttons were attached.

That sure was a nice bonus!

Hardly any work here!

The same design is on both sides of each pillow.

Anyway my grandaughter Elise has been

spending a lot of time with me in my sewing

room and she helped me tremendously with the

making of these pillows. (I love teaching her).

 Can you see the lining?

I wanted a different kind of a pillow so at the top

all we did was attach cotton strips and tie them up.

Nothing frilly - no bows just knots.

Each pillow is encased in a zippered

cotton pillow cover that we cut down from

some extra bed pillow covers that I owned.

Thank you Elise for your help!

Thanks for visiting me.

Many hugs and kisses to you all,
