I use sheer curtain material, but bridal netting (small mesh) should work as well. The interfacing might work but I would worry about overheating the pollen if you have warm weather. I find 4"x6" to 8"x10" work best for me. Turn under the upper edge to make a tube to run heavy string through to make a draw bag, to close. After your tomato blossom sets you can undo, Rinse out bags in hot water and reuse. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
