About Us

The SewEzi portable sewing table has been designed and produced by Catherine and David Davies-Colley of Whangarei, New Zealand.

Catherine has a Certificate in Apparel Technology and Administration from Auckland University of Technology and has enjoyed sewing all her life.

A few years ago, with a group of friends, she was introduced to patchwork and quilting.

One of her quilting friends began complaining of neck and shoulder pain. Catherine drew on her experience with ergonomics in the industrial workplace to design a light and portable sewing table that allowed her friend to sew without pain. This was the beginning of the SewEzi concept.

David has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science from Massey University and is in the final stages of completing an MBA from Otago University. David is a consultant in small business management and solid timber flooring.

David transformed Catherine’s designs into working prototypes in his workshop. About 30 prototypes were hand made to develop the design to a commercial product.

David and Catherine work from their home office on a lifestyle block at Poroti, which is a 15 minutes north-west of Whangarei. They have three children.
