Method and apparatus for the manufacture of a composite camouflage construction having an open mesh net substrate, and a continuous sheet overlying the substrate and bonded thereto along plural spaced lines of attachment, with lobes of the sheet cut to simulate the appearance of leaves and foliage. Apparatus and method includes a sewing station for stitching the sheet along plural spaced lines of attachment to the substrate to form open-ended pockets or channels between the sheet and substrate. The cutting station spaces the sheet from the substrate and a heated cutting wire reciprocates between adjacent lines of stitches to cut the sheet, open the channel, and use a series of loose lobes simultating the appearance of natural objects of a terrain, the fabric is then heated to cause the lobes to shrink and fall out of the plane of the fabric and are folded and creased to increase the openness of the fabric.
