Paula Gamester is the Founder and CEO of The Sewing Rooms, a social enterprise based in Skelmersdale in the north of England. Aware of the cost-of-living crisis that has hit many families in the United Kingdom she designed a product that drastically cuts cooking costs and fuel consumption. Not only does ‘The Sew Fab Bag’ save money, it also massively reduces our carbon footprint and reduces landfill waste. Her design is based on the medieval ‘hay-box’ cooking technique. She told Jonathan Kempster about her inspiration and motivation in producing the Sew Fab Bag.
