Heat sealable canvas is more common then you would think. Just go to any canvas store and pick out any material heavily coated with plastic on both sides. If you use an iron, I found baking paper to be ideal in keeping the iron clean and to stop it sticking ( the wife will never know that you have been ironing!). I made 6 bags of various sizes for $50NZ, all are water tight. I like the trouser idea though - even cheaper.
