Jelly-Bags

Jelly-bags are much the strongest and best when made at home. The strong flannel used for ironing-blankets is the best for this purpose, and it should be made of a half-square, and sewn at the side with a double seam, so as to be wide at the top, and pointed at the bottom. The top may be hemmed, and three tape loops sewn to it, by which the bag may be suspended when in use. A jelly-bag should always be wrung dry out of hot water before the liquid is poured into it.
