I haven't heard of that before. I am still pretty new to sewing. I will look for it next time I go to the fabric shop. Thank you for the tip.

Perhaps you know it under a different name - it's quite an old fashioned material. It's a soft fabric (like flannel, only much thicker) which is quite absorbant, afaik it's mostly used for mattress covers today. You can wash it at high temperatures.

I will look at the stores, to be honest I usually just go for whatever catches my eye!!
