>So I need to make a long and skinny drybag for my didgeridoo. What is the >current state-of-the-art thinking in regards to home-made drybags? Is a >sewing machine necessary? I buy PVC reinforced wet-weather trousers, about $10 each. Cut a leg off, glue the foot end of the leg and glue tape (with stiffening?) along the top, down about an inch from the top. This webbing tape has a Fastex buckle, male and female, one on each side (with the bag lying flat on the table). One pair of trousers equals two dry bags - buy XXL size. For the length of a didgeridoo you'd need to take the trousers all the way up to the "belt" and glue some of the side which would have been the middle of the trousers. The glue is a PVC glue specially for the job - stays flexible. The material is nice and flexible too. A didgeridoo, for the person who asked, is an Australian wind instrument made from a hollow, straight branch, about 2-3 inches in diameter and about a yard long. You "grunt" into it rather than play it like a flute. The trick is to keep blowing out (by mouth) while breathing in through the nose so that the sound is continuous.
