    Default crochet valances?

    This is something that I would consider attempting. I'd love to make a valance for my washroom.

    Has anyone come across any simple patterns?

    Would I use thread?

    I've done them--- the ones I did, used #10 bedspread weight thread. I did one in #30 thread-- NEVER again!

    I've also done crochet trims on fabric valances--- lace and crocheted pansies for my kitchen when I lived in town. I should make me some more. I loved those.

    is kinda nice.

    I like the idea of trimming fabric valances.
