The solid orange was a slightly better than broadcloth cotton, and the print orange is actually a really horrid feeling fabric that was labeled 'cotton', but I got for 1.50$/meter, and have long doubted it's cotton content! It's stiffer than quilting cottons, but not really thicker.
I do not try to fold the bag in any way, just cram it in there! I also traced a bag from our smaller local market, so it may be smaller than a big chain store's plastic bags.
I did think that making the pouch from knit would give a bit of stretch & allow for bulkier bags to be crammed in ... but didn't try that. Since I have a coop order's worth of Flip & Tumble bags on the way, I'm not sure how many more bags I should make myself, but I may try the knit one next week.
