I got some fiberglass screen at my local hardware and need to go and get some bias tape tomorrow. I also plan to get some zippers to match the bias tape and sew the zippers to the bias tape with one side holding screening for a pocket. I'll then sew the whole thing to the flat screening, and put on pockets on both sides of the screen and make a bag that I can take my rulers, etc to class. I think it's be lighter weight and perhaps as strong as fabric and I can see what is where. I'll also put handles on the bag. I plan to put zippered pockets on the outside and the others on the inside. That way things will be secure. I love bags with pockets, so I might go overboard with the pockets. We'll see.... I also want to make a hanger for at home for the rulers so I can see where they are. I made one of fabric a few years ago to take to classes, but it was too heavy when it was loaded down, and you couldn't see where anything was. The fabric weighs more than the screen.
