COVID-19

He waka eke noa - We are all in this together.

Update 21 October 2021:

Current Alert Level in New Zealand:

Auckland is currently at COVID-19 Alert Level 3, Step 1.   

Please note that this is likely to affect shipping times - due to some or all of the following factors, your parcel will probably take longer than usual to reach you:

• It may take longer than the usual 5-10 business days for me to sew the product(s) you have ordered, because it might be more difficult to obtain any necessary fabrics/other supplies.
• There may be courier company and/or other transport delays (e.g. inter-island ferry delays), which are outside my control.  

I really appreciate your support of my small New Zealand business, especially during this time while we are all living with the COVID-19 pandemic.

What I am doing to operate Sew Cathy Sew safely during COVID-19:

• Sew Cathy Sew is a small owner operated New Zealand business, based in my home.
• I am the only person responsible for all aspects of Sew Cathy Sew operations, including sourcing and preparing the fabrics, sewing the products, packing the orders and shipping the parcels. 
• I follow all of the New Zealand Government's advice on COVID-19, available at Unite against COVID-19.
• I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19, as is my partner with whom I live, as well as everyone else in my wider whānau who is old enough to be vaccinated.
• I always observe careful hygiene practices, including washing and drying my hands or using hand sanitiser before preparing/sewing all products and before processing/packing all orders for shipping.
