Sew Fab: Sewing and Style for Young Fashionistas

Product Information

The fact is, our ovens are among the most energy-demanding appliances in our homes. Aside from our fridge, our oven is likely responsible for the highest energy consumption out of all our kitchen appliances. The picture painted in the November 2023 Barometer is a mixed one – social enterprises are succeeding against the odds, but many are seeing incomes decline and reserves depleted. More needs to be done to support them as they continue drive growth for people and planet. The Sew Fab Thermal Cooking Bag will use unwanted rolls/roll ends of textiles which are gifted to us by Lancashire based companies, The Senator Group and Panaz. We will repurpose this fabric for the thermal bag, as well using their offcuts/scrap pieces of foam/textiles/polyester, which we shred to create a hybrid filling for the thermal insulation. Each Sew Fab Thermal Cooking Bag saves approximately 6kg of materials from going to waste.

The fact is, we use our ovens to cook casseroles for 3 or 4 hrs a time not realising that ovens are among the most energy-demanding appliances in our homes. Aside from our fridge, the oven is likely responsible for the highest energy consumption out of all our kitchen appliances. Lots of us are feeling the pinch and having to make choices about where we can save money. Some of us have tougher choices to make than others. The elderly and food bank users, already experiencing hardship, are finding that this latest hike in living costs is forcing them into fuel poverty and into impossible living conditions. And we at the Sewing Rooms wanted to be part of the solution.The latest Barometer in our Social Enterprise Knowledge Centre depicts a sector weathering economic storms, resilient in the face of growing pressures but also showing real signs of strain. Our Barometer reports are published quarterly to provide a snapshot of social enterprise performance across the UK. This latest survey looked into the key issues and trends facing the sector, from reserves and profit making to staff numbers. A positive in this quarter’s report is that the downward trend of social enterprises reporting a reduction in staff has continued, and more social enterprises are starting to grow staff numbers. Each Sew Fab Thermal Cooking Bag is made from 5 kgs of textiles saved from landfill. The Sew Fab Bag is made from end of roll luxury material gifted to us by various UK fabric companies.

We are delighted to be a new partner with Bedford Borough Council.

Lots of us are feeling the pinch and having to make choices about where we can save money. Some of us have tougher choices to make than others. The elderly and food bank users, already experiencing hardship, are finding that this latest hike in living costs is forcing them into fuel poverty and into impossible living conditions. As Iceland's managing director, Richard Walker reports: "It's incredibly concerning. We're hearing of some food bank users declining potatoes and root veg because they can't afford the energy to boil them." To hear that those people, already struggling to feed their families sufficiently, are now unable to heat the little fresh food that they do have access to is heart breaking.
