I really love helping folks fix their zippers. I really love a problem to solve that has a sewing solution. I love the magic trick of repairs. I’m quite good at it, too. I can see a way toward function where you might just see something that doesn't work anymore, and I think that vision is imperative for the kind of paradigm shift we need.

I'm not interested in scaling up a bustling business, I simply want to offer my skills and expertise to my neighbors and make a couple bucks here and there.

Repair of outdoor gear requires special skills, tools, and attention, all of which I have collected over a number of years working in and running outdoor gear repair shops.

I specialize in full zipper and zipper slider replacements on jackets, tents, packs, and sleeping bags.

I can patch holes in all kinds of clothing and technical outdoor soft goods.

I can offer custom sewing and gear alterations on a selective project by project basis and

I am available for contract sewing/ manufacturing work.

Bring me your ideas and dreams and broken things !

But please know that I am merely a human, there are limitations to my resources and capabilities, and I may have to turn down your project.

I’m excited to make and fix stuff with you,
