: seems to me Tom Yost's method would work equally well for this. But
: clear vinyl works the same way, and at the same price point

I looked around a bit, and I think you might call it "vinyl tablecloth".
basically, it's a plastic tablecloth with various flowery patterns, and it's sold for 2-3$ per meter around here.

and as for making the actual bag I use the same method as Tom, his guide is good, but I'm too cheap, and haven't found any other water resistant cloth in Sweden.
