Can anyone recommend a suitable fabric for making sling seats from?

Also, what's the best stitch to use for such an application?

Thanks in advance,

Jamie

Jamie,
Have you thought of using sail material? I took a quick look on Ebay and there are several second hand sails available, this one at 99p currently!

item number 300287077865

Very strong, light and can be glued or sewn. decent sewing machine with a zig-zag stitch will do the job.
