Most companies in the apparel industry use some sort of cardboard for their prototype patterns. I can't remember the name of it, but it's great as long as you only use your pattern for marking onto fabric and not as a cutting guide. Probably dirt cheap as well. It's a single ply type of cardboard, and not the boxes you ship whatever products in....
Anyone who has a laser cutter and some random plastic (or any other stiff cutable material) laying around... You just need to draw all your patterns in a vector program (such as Adobe Illustrator or Coral Draw).
