Help - vintage valiance

[Iowa yarns]

I have been looking through the internet trying to find vintage valiance patterns but I haven't stumbled across the "one" yet. :think We have been in our house for a year and my kitchen doesn't have any valiances (I don't want curtains just the valiance) but I want the pattern to be an older design. The house is an old farm house and we are remodeling and trying to keep a early 1900 theme. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Good morning,

This isn't a pattern it is a suggestion.

A few months ago my sister asked me to make her a valance. After a couple of days of looking .. I was about to give up when.. I found a tablecloth that I really liked (it was rectangle) so I followed the pattern til it was about 12 inches in length then added a really nice trim from a trim book I had.

Just a thought.

Try Haas designs, not necessarily vintage but beautiful
