DIY acoustic panels?


I took a look at gikacoustics.com and thought the sound absorption panels were actually pretty good and reasonably priced, but I am interested in making my own to better match my room.

Does anyone know what type of cloth is good for sound absorption, hopefully something that is readily available at fabric stores?

Check out the women's pant suit fabric. They have grey and black at Joannes Fabric. Do the blow test on any fabric you are looking at . Blow through it and if it lets all the air through it is suitable . The women pant material looks exactly like Magnepans fabric . Find one of their 50% off coupons too . 
OP - I will load a pic of my diy stuff so you can see the pant material I am talking about . it will be in my system page .
