The following prices/colors are from Seattle Fabrics.  I
assume these prices are for a running, not a square, yard.
I wonder how much this stuff costs in the other place,
because as was said before, it's very expensive here. 

It is sewn and ironed, or just ironed?

Heat Sealable Packcloth  
430 Denier.  This fabric has a special coating that makes
it possible to be heat-sealed, coated side to coated side,
using a household iron.  Perfect for dry bags, spray skirts
and all water sports for which you need a waterproof bag.  

Free copy of Do-It-Yourself Dry Bags article from Sea
Kayaker with purchase.   

Width: 60" Colors:  Red, Royal Blue, Spanish Yellow, Black

$16.75/yd   $2.00 for a Sample Pack 
-------------------------------------------------
 
Heat Sealable Oxford 
200 Denier.  The same great fabric as the pack cloth, but
it is lighter in weight.  Can be used for all the same
applications as pack cloth.

Width: 60"   Colors:  Navy Blue, Nickel Gray, Yellow,
Black, Hot Pink

$12.75/yd         $2.00 for a Sample Pack

Just iron the edges to seal them. The webbing for the buckles will have to 
be sewn, however.

I find the 200 denier cloth sufficiently durable for most uses, though I 
did tear one bag by snagging it on a hose clamp inside my stern 
compartment. It is more flexible than the 430 denier fabric, and for that 
reason might seal better when the top is rolled down.
