If you were to lay that out flat, it would be straight across the bottom, and left and right sides would be right angles to it. The top would be a wave cut (think wavy edge on the outside of a quilt) just much deeper. You want your valance to be twice the width of the window. Make your valance so it is two sided, (remember to leave an opening to turn it right side out), so that when you fold the top down, you will see the homespun. Use curtain clips to hang it. If I can be of further help, just PM me with your window width and length measurements, and I can make you a pattern out of newsprint if you need it. Since seams are harder to unstitch in burlap, you might want to try one made of something like an inexpensive broadcloth first. I do hope this is clear. Good luck with your project.
