ABSTRACT:
A folded air bag (10) is made from a panel (40) of fabric material which is folded and sewn to define an inflation fluid volume. The panel (40) is sewn along stitching lines (110, 120) which extend at an angle other than 90.degree. to fold lines (170, 172, 174, 200, 202) and which intersect the fold lines. Thus, when the panel (40) is folded along the fold lines (170, 172, 174, 200, 202), the stitching lines (110, 120) are folded into portions (190-196, 220-224, 230-236, 240-244) which are not in overlying relationship with each other and which are spaced apart from each other. This minimizes the thickness of the folded air bag (10).
