She's using heavy duck or levi material.  She's is doubling the bottom and 
it seems to make them pretty solid.  She thought about putting something in 
the bottom but decided against it because of wanting to throw them in the 
washer upon occasion, or as she put "if that one dumb kid something ghussy 
on the bottom again" <g>

She also put snaps on the handles so that she can snap them "closed" and it 
seems to keep them steadier.

BTW, she bought the fabric on Fabric.com and it was WAY cheaper than getting 
it anywhere else.  Like half the price of going to a fabric store.
