agentg Looks good so far. Nothing replicates cloth like real cloth. I use Apoxie sculpt instead of clay, and just use tools to add the seams. After they are placed, I wrap my finger in an old piece of t-shirt and lightly press the pattern into the bag.

I learned that method, too, from Shep Paine's "Tips on Building Dioramas" pamphlet included in Monogram's old Sherman Hedgehog kit. That was the great dio showing a Sherman with the hedgerow cutter ploughing through a hedgerow, basically flattening a Waffen-SS machine gun nest.
You all have gotten really great results, nicely done!

I recall from other threads that modelers tend to make sand bags too much look like pillows. In the field, soldiers will only fill them about 1/2 to 2/3 so that they are less likely to explode if punctured by shrapnel and hold up better when rained upon. More floppiness and less puffiness was the word, I recall.
