Default barbless fly patch ( that works :-)

Frankly, for years I was almost glad to lose flies ...i.e. have them fall
off the drying patch on my vest. I didn't fish a whole lot, I loved to tie,
so "no biggie" if some got lost. Sometimes I just threw the used one away
when I changed flies, I wanted an excuse to tie more.

But I now fish a fairly large amount ( already have the boss' ok for
mid-May until Mid-Oct next year :-) and mainly use only a few patterns, ties
that have become routine, if not tedious, to replace.

I don't have the organizational skills ( anal attitude :-) needed to replace
used flies in their proper box, while actually fishing, and I've tried a
couple foam patches but I fish 100% barbless hooks and they don't hold them
well. I'm tired of losing perfectly good flies.


So, I'm in the market for a drying patch ( container) that works ( securely
holds flies and lets them start drying ), isn't too bulky and heavy ( my
objection to the ones I've seen ), is preferably cheap ( I fish on a tight
budget ) or even better, home made ( I love fishing with stuff I made )

Suggestions?
