As promised, here is the lengthy tutorial on how to make a relaxed roman valance.

I am no professional, but I thought I would attempt a tutorial on how I made it, just in case you want to make your own. The actual valance isn’t hard to make, it is a little time consuming because there are lots of steps. Writing directions is challenging for me, but here we go.
{This tutorial is given for an outside mount. My inspiration picture used an inside mount. If you are doing an inside mount, calculate your width based on the inside measurements of your window and continue with the rest of the tutorial} Also, I did not line my fabric. I wanted the light to shine through the fabric to go with the relaxed feel of the valance. I don’t think they lined theirs in the inspiration picture either.
