I thought this was interesting and wanted to share, my friend uses Tyvek, (the stuff you wrap the exterior of a new house with) for the purses/bags she makes, she said it is really sturdy.
She will stop by construction sites and ask for some of their scraps, pretty thrifty idea.

Tyvek is used for practically indestrutable envelopes that FedEx uses and probably others. It is waterproof, but gas permeable. Because of it characteristics, it is used in the medical device industry for much of their packaging needs when product sterlization is by gas (ETO).
Very versatile material. Love the bag lining idea! Especially for free!
