Abstract: A drapery package comprising a core member and a drapery wrapped around it. The core member has a central portion and two end sections, the first of said two end sections containing a substantially uniformly spaced gap adjacent to said central portion, and the second of said two end sections containing a tapered spaced gap adjacent to said central portion. A longitudinally fan-folded drapery has a top end, a bottom end, and a middle section therebetween, the bottom end of said drapery being inserted into the substantially uniformly spaced gap of the first end section of the core member, the middle section of said drapery being wound in spiral fashion around the length of the core member, and the top end of the wound drapery being exposed. The wound drapery is packed in a box with its top end exposed so that drapery pins can be inserted along the top margin of the drapery even before it is removed from the box.

Abstract: A window curtain comprising a textile fabric panel which, for the most part, is of single layer thickness. The panel is formed of a sheer translucent fabric. The panel has a plurality of vertical fabric edges, such as side edges and possibly edges of margins overlapped to form a seam or seams between separate pieces joined to form the panel. A pocket is fixed to the panel near the lower end of each vertical fabric edge, and nowhere else. Each pocket has an opening through which a weight can be inserted into, and removed from, the pocket. The panel has a bottom hem, and the pocket is located no higher than the upper edge of the bottom hem.
