Jhan Lindsay began the project when she used some leftover materials for a mask for her partner to wear when working in the close confines of a construction job. One week and more than a hundred masks later, the Wellington musician, composer and teacher is struggling to keep up with demand.
Pictures of her creations on her Facebook page quickly led to friends requesting masks for their own use. Soon after local cake shop Cake It Forward approached her to supply masks for their Jackson St store.
On the evening of the announcement that masks would be mandatory for people travelling on public transport, Lindsay received an order for another 100 of her home-sewn, reusable masks.
Cake It Forward owner Bridget Cheesman is donating proceeds from the sale of masks to Women's Refuge.
Cake It Forward started from an initiative to provide cakes for birthdays and special occasions for kids with a parent in prison.

On Monday Metlink confirmed staff were not responsible for enforcing physical distancing on buses - saying this would be left to passengers.
Response from Metlink general manager Scott Gallacher:
“Passengers are responsible for their own physical distancing measures. The Government have made it clear that public transport frontline workers are not expected to risk their own health and safety by enforcing physical distancing.
That said, where our frontline staff see safe and low risk opportunities for action they will use their own discretion to do so, as seen in these instances. We support our frontline staff when they make these calls. This is all about everyone looking out for each other and taking personal responsibility.
Our conditions of carriage across rail, bus and ferry state that passengers must comply with our team’s instructions at all times.”
Righto team, where are we this week?
Let us know where you think this scene is. These days the tram tracks are gone, but it doesn't look too different.

Their application came at a time when virtually all foreigners were banned due to Covid-19 border restrictions. The pair applied to spend their time in a secluded Waikato property.
Although the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) refused to confirm whether an exemption was granted, the pair have told Vanity Fair they are staying in a hotel.
Their application for an exemption cited concerns over privacy and a concern they would be followed by photographers.

The hall was built by American soldiers in 1942 and used as a recreational facility. It has been used as a home for the Porirua Little Theatre since the 1970s.
Structural problems led to closure in 2012 and six years later the council decided to demolish it.
Now, the council has asked for the process to be put on hold, so they can talk to the community about ways to commemorate the building.
