Sass not compiling in textmate

I'm trying to use SASS for the first time with textmate. I seem to have installed it correctly by following the instructions on the git page - https://github.com/MarioRicalde/SCSS.tmbundle but I can't find any information on how I can now use it.

When I make a .sass file the new Sass syntax is highlighted but when I save it is not compiled. Am I missing something?

Make sure to open up Terminal and in the command line, navigate to your project folder and run this command: 

sass --watch style.scss:style.css

Name your working file style.scss, and it will compile and generate and update the style.css file that you reference in your document head.

Also make sure you have installed the Sass gem within your project directory :)

gem install sass

UPDATE

The bundle is only for installing syntax highlighting in Textmate. Sass is a precompiler for CSS, so it generates CSS from what you write in Sass. This is done through the sass --watch command above in the command line.
