Mine is sewn all together, I couldn't think of a way
to have the walls detachable and still keep the
integrity of the structure. This design is dependant
on the walls not moving as they are what holds the
tent stable. I just made the valance all one piece
because I think it looks better. I cut the pieces to
the same shape as the top of the walls, with an inch
extra at the bottom edge. The whole pattern was
originally taken from Master Dafydd's page, I just
changed a few things to make it my own. In his pattern
the valance is all of a piece with the roof triangles.
I had to make them separate to conserve fabric and to
make them sew together. Thank you for asking, I am
glad you like it!
