WELL DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU
Through my label House of Hunters, I make reusable fabric face masks! They are all made by me right here in Wellington and are sold for $15 each. However, if you were to order more than one I can come up with a bundle deal. I can also send them out to you.
Not only would buying a mask from me make you feel good about supporting a local small business, you’ll also be supporting one of your local sports teams! I am one of the goalkeepers in the Wellington Women’s Hockey team and I am currently fundraising to help cover the costs of fees to participate at the National Hockey Championship tournament in November.
The options pictured are just a mere selection of what I have available. You can check out my Facebook page House of Hunters Clothing for more options. I can do custom orders so if there’s a particular design you’re looking for I’ll see what I can do. All orders have a 1-2 day turnaround depending on order size and demand. I also stock them at Indeja on Cuba Street so you can always pop in there and support two local businesses that way 😉
Flick me a PM and let’s get talking!

Each fabric style outlined below has its own unique characteristics and are produced using different techniques. Some of these fabric types will be well known to you like plain and printed fabrics, while others less so.
You may be wondering why cotton and linen for example are not included here – this is because they are a type of composition that falls within one of these categories below.
Here we give you a high-level overview of the styles of fabrics available to you for your home interior or commercial interior project.
PLAIN: Plain fabrics are characterised by simple weaves and textures not showing any complex design.
Simple weaves are for instance – hopsacks, twills, herringbones and satins. Common fabric compositions used for plain fabrics include natural fibres (cotton, linen) as well as synthetic fibres (polyester, acrylic, etc.)
Plain interior fabrics take on a simple and paired back aesthetic. Ideal for a minimalist décor, you can complement plain fabrics with more textured and tactile textiles for added interest to your home décor.
PRINTED: Printing is the process of applying coloured designs and patterns to a woven textile. One or more colours are applied to the fabric in specific parts only, using thickened dyes to prevent the colour from spreading beyond the limits of the pattern or design. In quality printed fabrics, the colour is bonded with the fibre so as to resist loss of dye from washing and friction (crocking). Printing is an ancient textile manufacturing technique of which there are five print production methods you can use:
Burn Out Printing: A process which uses chemicals, rather than colour, to burn out or dissolve away one fibre in a fabric. The purpose is to achieve a sheer design on a solid or opaque fabric. The chemicals used during production can make this fabric sensitive to ultraviolet degradation when hung in direct sunlight.
Digital Printing: Rapidly becoming a popular and commercially viable printing method due to its flexibility, precision and consistency. With this new printing technique it is now possible to print any design, even with photographic detail, onto fabric. There are no restrictions in the amount of colour that can be used.
Engraved Roller Printing: The printing method used for the majority of fabrics worldwide. The colours are printed directly onto the fabric. There must be one roller for each colour used in the print. The more colours used, the better the print definition and depth of colour. The number of colours used is printed on the left hand selvedge of a fabric along with the brand.

The WCC is proposing to change the name of Polhill Gully with no consultation. To have your say email your opinion to communications@wcc.govt.nz. The sooner the better. Submissions close 08 October.
Polhill Gully is an important cultural reference for the Mitchelltown and Aro Valley communities, from Baker Polhill harvesting wood there from the 1840s for his firewood business and supplying timber to the shipbuilding industry, to it being the site of a rifle range in the 1860s (despite Mitchelltown school being located close by). In the 1951 waterfront lockout, the entrance to Holloway was closed off by Police as Mitchelltown was a hotbed of union activism. Food and other supplies had to be bought in over the hill from Polhill Gully to support the strikers and their families.
In more recent times in the 1970s, when Victoria University proposed building three, tiered playing fields in Polhill Gully which would have destroyed the largest area of regenerating native bush in the inner city and changed the landscape of our communities forever, the various Mitchelltown and Aro Valley community groups opposed this vigorously over a number of years until Victoria University backed down, and Polhill Gully became a City Council Recreation Reserve in 1989.
For these reasons I think Polhill Gully is a name we cherish, and to change that would be a great loss to us all. This proposed name change seems to have come out of nowhere. Please stop this madness by emailing your opinion to communications@wcc.govt.nz right away.
Yours in frustration

She continually find ways to get up to mischief but she's so cute it's impossible to get mad at her. She has adjusted really well to living with three cats and six chickens (although the cats were very unimpressed at first).Our entire family has fallen in love with her and can't wait to see what crazy adventures she gets up to next."
