Not sure if this would work in your application, but my friend Karen used plastic canvas in her tote bag.

I used timtex in the Amy Butler bag I made and it seemed to work ok - just a bit hard to turn at the end.

I occasionally use this plastic cutting sheets- If I can find them in the dollar store. usually they come in a pack of 4- flexible cutting boards. You cannot sew through them. I envelope them in the liner fabric and tack them in place.

There is a special stiffener you can purchase for this purpose ... forget the name ... sold along with all the other iron on stiffeners/interfacings.
