This Table Runner Valance will fit windows that are 48" to 54" wide. The basic formula for a gathered cafe type curtain is window width x 1.5. So 50" x 1.5 = 75".
Table runners are 72" long - close enough, the valance just needs a bit of gather in it.
1) Buy It
Buy a table runner off the clearance shelf, and a 1" or less flatish curtain rod.
2) Pin It
Fold over one long end 3", enough room for a .5" seam allowance, a 1.5" pocket, and a 1" header.
3) Sew It
Sew 2.5" from the fold, and then 1" from the fold.
4) Show It
Finished! Hang it up and take a bow!
