Services

Jackets:

From slider to full zipper replacements to patching the hole your dog chewed or the rip from the tree that came out of no where, we can most likely find a solution to mending your favorite coat.

Snow pants:

Hems, cuff reinforcement, zippers, patches, etc. Let's keep your favorite outwear going for as long as possible. (Please note that I cannot do "heat bonded seams" I will always sew undone seams, and can apply seam tape)

take me to more about this

Backpacks and Tents:

Buckles, zippers, patches, etc. I can work on most flexible backpacks but am limited when it comes to a backpacking backpack with a frame that cannot be removed due to not having the correct machine. It is always worth asking though as there are tricks and techniques to any problem.

General clothing:

I also work on general clothes with rips, tears, seam breakage, knitwear, etc that are not classified as "outer wear". I can do simple alterations like hems but will send you to someone else for anything more.

Sorry, I do not work on shoes or wedding dresses

Summertime Shop Hours

Shop update Friday July 17, 2026

In the midst of slowly moving the shop I received word that my Columbia Falls location will not be ready until September (!)

don't panic.

My current land lords are graciously allowing me to remain in the WF location for an additional month.

I will resume drop offs starting August third and I am switching to drop offs via appointment only which means arranging in advance. Check back here for a form (maybe) or give me a call at 406-662-8399 to set something up.

Here is my schedule for the remainder of July for those of you patiently waiting for me to finish your items:

July 17-20am out of town

July 20/21 in town but working for a friend

July 22-26 backpacking through the WF range

July 27-30 available for pick up

As always, thank you for your patience and support and for wanting to fix your goods because; this is all about the Earth.

Wishing you relaxing, slow-paced, community filled days,

Marijke
