Great information found: http://blog.rosebrand.com/post/2010/05/06/Flame-Retardant-Fabrics-Whate28099s-the-Difference-between-FR-IFR-DFR-and-NFR-Fabrics - more fabric colors available than Joann's white/ivory.
Shop on line fabric stores and your local yard goods store and see what selection they have in flame retardant material. Pick one and sew away! Bet your nieces will be thrilled!
I know wool is more fire retardent because it has tighter woven fibres than cotton or linen. So many blends these days though so I think your best bet would be to ask at a fabric store.
They make a fire-retardant spray. You can use it on your fabric of choice
