Buying guide

Fabric for an Aussie Christmas

Skip the brushed flannelette — December nights are hot. Choose lightweight cotton or bamboo prints.

Print quality

Look for screen-printed cotton rather than sublimated polyester; it feels better and won't peel.

Buy early

Festive prints sell out by mid-November every year. Order by the first week of November to avoid disappointment.
