I have made a few moss bags.

Where I am from they are called baby-boats.

They can be made out of almost any type of material. The paticular kind that I have made are of courderoy with a flannel lining, and laced with buckskin.

The moss bags are basically a baby board with out the board - the bag itself.

The length is usually about 22-23 inches for a newborn. The circumfrance was probably no more than 16 inches. It is all made of one piece, kind of cut on the fold.

This is another one of those projects that there are really no patterns. I have seen a lot of posts on this board where if you don't know how to make a particular pattern -- practice on paper sacks instead of wasting tons of fabric until you get the project to look the way you want.

Hope I helped.

Some of my spelling may be bad........I couldn't find spell check!! ;)
