I have used peltex and timtex in large tote bags and they stand up well. Stiffy is a similar MUCH less expensive product by Long Creek Mills I buy it by the roll:

I would recommend buckram. It is a very stiff cotton fabric used to make hats & bags - also used in book binding. Google it if you are not familiar which it, but I think it with give you just the right amount of stiffness you are looking for.
HTH!

Good old fashioned buckram is very stiff. I've used it in bags that were big and had to have stable sides that would stand up. It used to be used in hat making, to make stiff brims. I bought it at Hancock's Fabrics, locally.

Thanks for the site link. I sent for their sampler package, only $3.00 including shipping!
