The way it was described to me was: It is sort of like a blanket that had a strap on it that fit around the mothers neck but had something bendable in front that held the blanket out away from the mother so she could see the baby as it nursed. It also provided coverage under the mothers arms so people around her could not see the baby nurse. I can sort of picture how it might look but I'm lost when it comes to actually making one without a pattern.
