Curtain making and curtain alterations

Brenda from Trentham

For those of you who are new to neighbourly, I have a small curtain making and curtain alteration business, with 20 years sewing experience and 2 years curtain making experience. I had a partner working with me but she has since found full time employment elsewhere. So I am flying solo.
Because of my low overheads I can offer my services at very affordable rates. I offer free measure and quotes, will assist with choices of materials, linings, tapes, tracks etc. and will even source the fabrics for you. I also make detachable linings which makes laundering your curtains a whole lot easier. Unfortunately I dont make blinds but I can put you in touch with a fabulous maker of blinds who lives in the Hutt Valley area.
Please phone me on 0273840140 or email thecurtainmakers4@gmail.com or feel free to message me here

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
