The story behind the SewLomax poo bag!

Believe it or not, spring is finally on its way in the next few weeks! It feels like winter has dragged on and on this year, and every time the sun peeks out from behind the clouds, a few more cold days come along and scare it away!

But if theres anyone who loves the outdoors, no matter what the weather's doing, its dogs! Now I'm a firm believer that pets should be spoilt too, so I made sure I designed an embroidered canvas bag in my collection for them too!

I owe all inspiration for the creation of the SewLomax poo bag to my dog Betty: 

Without Betty I would never have come up with this bag, which - I think most of you will agree - is a must have as a dog owner. There is nothing worse than the disgusted look from a fellow dog walker when you have run out of poo bags to clear up after your furry friends!  The poo bag easily clips onto your keys or your lead, so theres no excuses anymore! Be prepared - and stylish - with this useful little canvas bag….

Just like all the other SewLomax bags, the poo bag is made from ethically sourced cotton and its protected with Scotchguard so you can wipe it clean if it gets mukky! And best of all, its currently only £9 at www.SewLomax.com! So grab one now whilst you can!

Now Im off to hang out with my dog, who's probably already dreaming about her next adventure! 

Don't forget your poo bag..!

Given up cakes for lent? Find out why I designed my cupcake wash bag..

February is one of my favourite months - only 20 days at work, Valentine's Day and best of all - Pancake Day!!

But after pancake day comes Lent, where everyone tries to give up chocolate, or biscuits, or cake (or anything yummy but bad for you!) until Easter. But don't worry, you can still get your cake fix thanks to my embroidered cupcake wash bag - all of the pleasure without any of the guilt!

This tapestry was put on the wash bag by popular demand. The general collection answers to a rule; that what is on the bag, the bag functions as. The cupcakes don’t apply to this rule; this is not a bag for cupcakes…! I am a sucker for colours and pretty yummy things. For me cupcakes are truly inspiring and I will argue with anyone who thinks otherwise!

Like all of my embroidered canvas bags, the cupcake wash bag is protected by Scotchguard and you can wipe it clean to ensure your cakes stay looking yummy! Inside the bag there are elastic loops to hold your lotions and potions in place, and a water resistant lining to protect your treats from spills!

The cute cupcake canvas wash bag is available from www.sewlomax.com for £32. Grab yourself a Lent treat today!

A little treat for single girls: the story behind my lipstick pouch

There's nothing I like more than hearing how much people love my embroidered canvas bags, and the most popular one of all is probably the lipstick pouch. So many people loved it that I introduced a limited edition version of it with a SewLomax designed lining! Get your mitts on one while you can, and don't forget to send me a photo of your canvas pouch in action!

Today I thought Id give you a little sneak peek into how I came up with the design for the embroidered lipstick pouch, and what my inspiration for it was:

The inspiration for this came from all the rows and rows of beautiful lipsticks laid out in make up halls, and the excitement of buying a new lipstick. To me they always look like little people chatting to each other and they look like they all have their own personalities! These are the personalities I wanted to put down onto the bag for other people to enjoy.

The embroidered canvas lipstick pouch is available at www.sewlomax.com for £28. It is wipe-clean and protected with Scotchguard to keep it safe in your handbag!

Its Valentines Day tomorrow, but singletons need spoiling too! Grab a bargain and treat

Valentines Day: For Him

February 14th is fast approaching and we all know that men are so hard to buy for! On Valentine's Day a DVD or a football shirt just won't cut it anymore - so see what I have in store for you this Feb 14th..

Some men like to think that the less grooming products they use, the more manly they are.. I disagree! This Valentine's Day treat him to an embroidered canvas wash bag for men to hide all of his lotions and potions in. Not even the guys at work or on his football team can deny how stylish this creative canvas bag is! Decorated with hand-embroidered motifs of everything a man needs to look great, the bag is easy to keep clean and very practical!

Does your lovely man seem to always be away on business? Why not surprise him with my embroidered Beach Huts canvas wash bag, so he can be organised and fashionable on his trips away. Decorated with a row of charming beach huts on one side, and a very cute postcard on the other with a hand stitched message saying "wish you were here.." he'll know you're always thinking about him! And who knows, it might even inspire him to take you away on a beach-side holiday?! As you'd hope, this canvas bag is water resistant (just like the beach huts!) so he can avoid any mess or spillage disasters while he's away!

Priced at just £35 on www.sewlomax.com, these washbags are the perfect gift for your favourite man!

Love, Emma
