need to make bedding for moses basket

[jrabbit]

I have a moses basket with no bedding or mattress - I could probably just stuff a blanket on the bottom, but I'd like to "know" that it's ok. It's our third child, so I know I don't want anything more fancy. I'm holding out for a mini-cosleeper at the local resale shop, but I am not even positive I want that this time. Baby will sleep with us, no nursery - and we're going to sell the house in the spring, so I don't want baby gear all over the house, anyway.

I know that I do not want to buy new bedding. There is a pretty moses basket at the resale shop that has bedding, so i could just buy "it" rather than new bedding, if that's what I decide I should do.

I do sew, but there are so many other things I'd rather focus my time on, so it's a little implausible for me to think I'll sew up a whole bedding set for an item I'll use for a couple months .

... any ideas?

We used pillowcases as sheets for our moses basket. They needed a bit of tucking under at the corners but since they went all the way round the mattress they didn't slip. I think a blanket folded into a pad and put inside a pillowcase would work fine.

We bought a couple of small blankets for it too. The blankets have also been used in the car seat, to lay the little one on the foor etc so we got plenty of use from them.
