Repairs by Erika: winter mending in Anchorage

Field notes

Customers begin with a form, then leave accepted items at The Hoarding Marmot with Erika’s email confirmation; she collects the work weekly and returns finished repairs to the same front desk. The page distinguishes two jacket-zipper approaches: sewing a replacement over the old zipper or opening the seams to integrate it, and notes that backpacks, tents, and sleeping bags cost more.
