Claim:
A fabric steam pocket comprising: two complementary substantially planar layers of steam-permeable fabric of the shape of a steam frame of a steam appliance, each layer of the steam-permeable fabric formed of an outer terry material, an inner mesh material and an intermediate terry material, and quilted with stitching on a fabric surface at a 45 degree angle, the layers of steam-permeable fabric being joined at their peripheral edges forming a substantially non-porous pocket with an open section for mounting onto the steam frame; a first complementary fastener along an edge of the open section of one layer, the first complementary fastener being secured to an inside face of the one layer; and a second complementary fastener along an edge of the open section of the other layer, the second complementary fastener being secured to an inside face of the other layer and extending beyond the edge of the open section, the first and second complementary fasteners being selectively securable to close the open section such that the first complementary fastener and the second complementary fastener are not visible when the fabric steam pocket is mounted onto the steam frame.
