Left: Double Cascades and Swags
Joined in the Middle.
Note: Swags
may be created in singles, doubles, or triples. They may be joined in the
middle (as shown on the left), draped over different types of rods, or arranged
in a draped-wrapped combination in which one end of the swag
is behind the rod while the other end is in front of the rod.*

Double Swag with Plain Cascades over
Print.
Material Yardage:
Swags - Based on an average of 44"
per swag, you will need 2 yards of fabric
per swag.*
Cascades - Double the longest length,
add 4" and divide by 36. This will give you the number of yards needed
for a single pair of cascades.*

Swag and Cascade Arrangement.
A
swag is a top treatment or valance,
used over draperies or blinds or sometimes alone. They are usually draped
into soft, graceful folds, using fabrics that drape easily. It is more interesting
to use an uneven number of swags. Swags
should be lined.*
