i have a few sleeve bags for tents (copper spur, black diamond) and the poles are poking holes through the base. looking to sew up some new ones. suggestions on a durable material that isn't too expensive or heavy?
If your not into sewing, Zpacks offers Dyneema tent pole sacks in three different sizes. I have there well made stake bag, but use trekking poles on my tent.

One of my hobbies is making stuff (and lots of stuff sacks) out of dyneema. I used to sew them together and then seal the seam with dyneema tape. Then I realized the sewing was not necessary. Now I just tape them together. That will save you the cost of a sewing machine.
My latest project is a sack that has three functions. It is a tall cylinder shaped sleeping bag stuff sack with a slightly funnel shaped opening to make it easier to stuff the bag. In addition, I added a slotted hole on bottom so I can use it as an inflation bag for my Neoair Xtherm sleeping pad. Then I added two loop hooks on one side to use it as a ridge line gear bag for trips when I take my hammock. That eliminated two pieces of gear I have to carry.
