If you can sow using a machine you can do about 50 in 20min. Usually I cut the fabric in 10x5cm rectangles. My wife sows the two sides together and I trim the threads, turn the bags and pull the endpoints inside like so.
Not my picture, it comes from gutenbergsdankpressing
The most important things to know when sourcing your material. The more expensive bags use some sort of nylon threads, but the cheaper ones use polyester and this is important, the nylon can take more pulling force before it breaks and this makes the this material superior for our needs.
The next important thing is the thread. You need a sowing thread with at least 4kg pulling strength and it can't be made of a material that stretches. Your stitches must not be able to stretch as this again promotes taring of the material. I don't know what it's called, but tell your wife that the wire must be able to hold 4kg's / 9pounds and it must not be able to melt (ie, no plastic or polyester thread)
If you follow the link (in my previous post) you can select many different mesh/thread count types to choose from. I bought 1x5m and haven't even got through 1m² of it. That's a lot of bags for approx. 12€
Hope it helps
