After spending over a week trying to find *voile material here in rural Italy to make a bag I showed a picture of a bag to a lady in a fabric shop, I should be looking up ladies dresses she said!! I was a little confused but after a bit more explanation in Italian, not my native language, it transpired that she meant that this type of fabric is used to "puff up" ball gowns and wedding dresses. Yesterday I went to a wedding dress makers and bought enough fabric for two gallon bags for a few euro, tonight I machined them up. (thanks mr.jadkowski for the maths and bionut for the spreadsheet to work out the shape.) Attached is a picture. They look OK, to me, and are 100% polyester. I practiced the stitching on the off-cuts first and made two sock shaped things, on the left. Could I use them to put the hops in and tie them up for the boil, or should I just throw them away? The bag was the last part of the kit I needed so hope to be a first timer tomorrow or soon after. Thanks for all the info on the forum.

*(There is no voile material as no one has curtains, all the windows have wooden shutters inside instead, hence no voile.)
(The bottle of Duvel is the last one I need to drink to have 12 empty for my first brew, it been tough but I have now finished the 12 bottles in the case.)
