Dodgers, what and where

What is the best material for making dodgers?
Where should I get it from?
I can easily make a template for them but are there any suggestions as to the best way to fabricate them.( I have access to a heavy duty sewing machine and a person who can operate it.)
Thanks

I bought made up dodgers from this guy, very reasonable and easy to deal with.

He also supplies materials and fittings for making you own.

Bloke along the pontoon makes them and says that he allows a bit for stretch; so undersize but don't know by how much

I do mine on a heavy domestic machine and don't get stretch or shrinkage.
Scallop round deck cleats and fit a pocket or two on the inside.
Make super sure the thread is uv-proof.
