    Richard,
    Buy painters drop sheets, can be purchased from just about any hardware store. The ones I have, I think are cotton, (made in India) they are available in different sizes so basically you only have to alter one or two sides, cut to suit, fold new edge, sew with a normal domestic sowing machine. there are a couple of odd shapes, for around door ways etc. the one covering the lathe has oil on it and a few other things I have used a grinder close by and sparks don't appear to be an issue.

    I'm on my second industrial sewing machine. Handiest thing ever I bought the first one to repair horse rugs.
    I scored an old truck tarp years ago and have made it into lots of different things, including trailer covers, camping equipment bags, tool bags, didgeridoo bag. I'm pretty happy with the didge bag, canvass exterior with a layer of padding and a soft material liner inside. And no, I can't play it very well..yet.
    I must check out the canvass in spotlight.
    Oh and I use old curtains as machine covers. People are usually happy to give them away.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.
