Curtain Making
For those of you who are new to neighbourly, I have a small curtain making and curtain alteration business, with 20 + years sewing experience in garment construction, alterations and curtain making.
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 0211651463 or email thecurtainmakers4@gmail.com or feel free to message me here.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

Advice please, declined house insurance cover
Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
