Then you must lay the fabric on the surface which is totally flat. The front must face down. Then you must measure the width that you prefer the valance on fabric. You can hang a valance directly on the rod. You must add 3 inches to width for every panel of valence. Then cut to the fabric.

Then you have to measure the depth which you desire of the valence on the fabric for curtains. If you got all your measures right fabric will be folded in two pieces. Add 3 inch for hems. Then cut.

Because you have kept the fabric face down you can to measure an inch and a half from every side of material and place pins which are straight throughout the whole length of the material.
Then you have to stage them both together on every side with sewing machine. Then you have to remove all the pins or you can use glue gun for this.

Again Stitch with sewing machine then you have to turn the fabric right side out. The hems must face inside then you have to measure 1 inch from deadline that you just sew. The rod will go here.
