Ticking is a type of cloth, traditionally a tightly-woven cotton. It is traditionally used to cover mattresses and bed pillows. The tight weave makes it more durable and hinders the stuffing (straw, chaff, hair, down feathers, etc.) from poking through the fabric. Although wonderful for home decor use, it would also be great for apparel like jackets, pinafores, overalls, jeans and skirts.
