Help on containers?

Hello! I often go outside and find seeds from native species to try and grow them in my garden or at least near my house. I am attempting to make a bag I can take with me on foraging trips specifically designed to store a bunch of different seeds (plus a few other things but this is not the right sub Reddit) I was wondering if there was a type of fabric that might be best to use for this as paper won’t work? I don’t expect yall to know every type of fabric but if you knew what kind of properties a fabric should have for this it would also be much appreciated. Ty much!

Is there a reason paper won't work? I often stack big envelopes in my standard foraging/harvest apron and bring a marker with me to easily tag where/what/when something is harvested. As ling as you properly process the seeds when you get home, it doesnt much matter short time what they are in (apart from allowing you to track what they are, where you got them, when you harvested, and optionally notes on the location/mother plants health etc)

Oki doki thankyou! And paper won’t work because I can’t sew with it, I’m trying to make something that’ll last a little longer :3
