Google's interviewing high school kids right now for summer internships, so they can give extended vacations to some of those college drop outs they have doing web layouts.

omg the one in the white cap looks like a young kid. I truly hope that this was not a stupid stunt by kids that were not understanding the power of those bombs. Just a horrible situation all the way around, so many lives in chaos and turmoil.

She keeps telling me to just do it... that it's just folding and "maniuplating" the fabric... I know it's not. You are correct. These things can be as complicated as a tailored suit. I've seen patterns for them in old home decorating books - they show the shape of the pieces and have a grid. What's confusing you is that the tab thing in the center is not attached to the swag: it's a separate flap. Also, it's a mix of a "fishtail" valance and a gathered swag ... probably cut and sewn separately My mistake: it's a double swag with the panel (called a "trumpet"). I found a 3-part how to do a swag valance ... she's pleating it and stapling it to the board, It starts with the calculations, then cutting and then pleating it onto the board http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcHHU0n680s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ebrSwt30sU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ebrSwt30sU She has a whole series on swags!
