Seamstress available for project/commission work

Jodi from Wellington Central

Kia Ora everyone!

I hope this is ok but I thought this might be worth a shot. I’m self-advertising my services as a seamstress! I can do alterations, (starting at $15 for a basic pant hem) and made-to-measure items with flexible payment plans.

I’m looking to take on a couple more commissions/projects on the side as I fundraise to represent Aotearoa at this years Prague Quadrennial in the Emerging Artists section!

I’ve got over 5-years experience in both costume and fashion design so I’ve got a good range of skills for making and mending. I will literally work with anything, anyone and everyone which I know can be a struggle to find the right person sometimes. If you want to check out more of my work, you can go to my website www.houseofhunters.org... or my Facebook/Instagram pages House of Hunters Clothing ☺️

So if you’ve got some things lying around the house that never quite fit right, or you’ve got an event/occasion/empty wardrobe that you need a garment for, you can email me at j_walker19@hotmail.com or text at 0220662190 to get chatting!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
