What exactly is a pudding cloth? I always figured a cheesecloth or something
like a 
pillowcase would do but in the video with the Dutch Pudding the lady
stresses it
be tied securly so no water gets into the pudding.
Well, cheesecloth or linen would let lots of water in, so what is pudding
cloth and
how can I find it?

Unbleached calico is typical here, and it is usual to butter and flour the
cloth before you put the pudding in.
