Default Fabric vac cleaner bag

I am wanting to make a fabric vac cleaner bag. I recycle the ones I do use, but cutting them off, emptying it out, folding it back down and stapling them and sealing with duct tape, but would like to make a perment one. Does anyone have one? What type of fabric is it made of? Is it plastic lined? I tried to look at the ones in the hardware store, but they were all sealed in plastic, so I couldnt really get a good look at them. To buy one for my cleaner is about $50.

I found your recycle idea for paper bags a good one. I recently bought a commercial Sharp cleaner that has a cloth bag it is a thick non-woven gray perforated looking fabric, the bottom has a plastic slide off piece for emptying.

The link took a couple trys to work so maybe go to the home site and search from there if it doesn't work for you (and I don't know if it has anything to do with your model vacuum)
