A fabric (32) for use in an architectural covering device (30) includes a plurality of elongated vanes (36) preferably of tubular configuration having a pair of flaps extending longitudinally along the entire length of the vane. A continuous face sheet material (38) has elongated folds at spaced intervals that are secured along the flaps of the vanes so as to pivotally connect the vanes to the face sheet material at predetermined spaced intervals. The fabric is adapted to be supported with an operational system (40) in an architectural opening so that if the vanes are suspended vertically they are slidably movable laterally of the window opening and pivotally movable about vertical longitudinal axes to extend and retract as well as open and close the covering. An apparatus and method for forming the fabric is also disclosed as well as systems for finishing the endmost vanes in the fabric.
