ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a drapery fabric for enhancing vertical blinds. The drapery fabric is pre-formed with reception pockets for installation over the upper ends of vertical blinds. The pockets have gaps for easy installation over pre-existing vertical blinds. In the method of installation, the vertical blinds are removed from their traverse rod track, inserted into the pockets with the swivel mounts passing through the gaps, and then installed upon the track. This results in the effect of "full" draperies, with the ability to optionally partially install over the length of the vertical blinds, either vertically or horizontally, and seal the gaps at the edges of standard vertical blinds.
