I never said anything in the beginning, but after being here awhile I noted others like me. Don't you laugh and make comments!As for purchasing the pre-made bags, I knew that they are available. Part of this experiment though was to use products I could source locally without having to order anything and have it shipped to me.
I might try my hand at hand stitching a few together. It'll give me something to do sitting around the campfire at night!
Sometimes getting back to the roots of it all is the best! I'm going to hand sew a few just for fun. I have some special thread that's too big for the sewing machine. I'm going to give it a whirl. I have special needles for the skin on frame boats that I use to sew the fabric together with the artificial sinew. They should do the trick!

I meant there is a large group here who like me, in a lot of cases, want to see if I can reclaim the past. Not because I have to but because I want to see what my Pop and his Pop and all those before dealt with, and if something we do today diminishes the flavors of how they made it.
And I have found differences, most I don't want to duplicate but there are a few still on my to do list.
That would be why I would attempt to sew a cloth sock for sausage meat.
Exactly !! And that is from one of the better high profile manufacturers.... LOLThe bags were probably manufactured overseas, in a dimly lit warehouse infested with rats... Soaking, washing, disinfecting I think is mandatory considering they are coming in contact with food...
Looking good. The cloth bags work great.
I am guessing you could make these any size? From like 6 in to one inch?
You sew them to size, right?
LOL... you could sew together some colth in whatever size you want, a hand flipping the bird, your state, whatever and fill it and smoke it. Custom party sausages shapes.
I know I always think of strange stuff.....
I can just see a summer sausage in the shape of Texas on the buffet........ yeah well, I bet ya don't laugh at it if Chuck Norris is there!
the venegar will keep it from sticking.It just seemed like the right thing to do. I washed them with vinegar yesterday and dried them. Just plain water this morning.
I just got 3yds of the muslin, gonna try it on the next SS

This is a very cool post! Thanks for sharing! I think I may have to make a trip to the local fabric store and give this a try!
