i am making valances for a few teachers classrooms.
one wants them only 9" long. how do i determine the lenght of the hem? they will have no backing. just a hem.

the other sets were 17", and i did a 3" hem.

For short valances, I usually just do them double with the seam at the top of the rod pocket.

That's how I do them too.

Ditto.

ok, so you mean to just double the fabric up,fold at the bottom, and the seams at the top where the rod will go.

That's how I would do it.... :D

There is no sewing police...either! :wink:

I would be serving a life sentence..

I do it as stated ...above! :lol:

ok! thanks for the info! will get started on them today!

did you get them made yet?

no craftybear! she brought over 7.5 yards of fabric. and needs:

8 - 60" wide x 9" long and
2 - 35" wide x 9" long.

i babysat the grandson this weekend. :thumbup:

swing by and give me a hand! i will put the coffee on!
