We need someone who can really sew.

Kumpfy Shoes & Repair is looking for a talented, experienced seamstress or sewing repair specialist to join our repair team in Canmore.

This isn’t a production sewing job, and you won’t spend your days doing the same thing over and over.

One day you might replace a zipper in a ski jacket, the next repair a favourite pair of pants, patch technical outdoor gear, fix a backpack, alter clothing or figure out how to save something a customer thought was beyond repair.

If you love the challenge of figuring out how to fix things, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll be working on

Our sewing department handles a huge variety of repairs and alterations, including:

- Clothing alterations and repairs
- Zipper replacement and repair
- Jackets, ski pants and outdoor clothing
- Technical and performance fabrics
- Workwear
- Backpacks, bags and outdoor gear
- Patching, reinforcing and repairing damaged garments
- Webbing, straps and buckles
- Hemming, resizing and general alterations
- Interesting repair jobs that don’t always come with instructions!

Who we’re looking for We’re looking for someone who already knows their way around a sewing machine and has strong sewing and garment-construction skills.

You may have worked as a seamstress, tailor, alterations specialist, industrial sewer, costume sewer, outdoor-gear repair technician or in another professional sewing environment.

Experience with industrial sewing machines, technical fabrics, outdoor clothing or gear repair is a big asset, but we’re also interested in an excellent garment sewer who is keen to expand their repair skills.

More than anything, we’re looking for someone who:

- Produces clean, professional-quality work
- Has excellent attention to detail
- Can troubleshoot unusual repairs




- Isn’t afraid to take something apart to figure out how to put it back together
- Takes pride in making things last
- Is dependable and organized
- Enjoys working independently as well as being part of a small team
- Likes the idea of repairing rather than throwing away

Why Kumpfy? Kumpfy is an independent shoe store and repair shop in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

Repair is a huge part of who we are. We repair shoes, boots, climbing shoes, clothing and outdoor gear, and we’re always learning new ways to keep our customers’ favourite things out of the landfill.

You’ll be joining a small, established Canmore business where your skills genuinely matter and every day brings something different across the repair bench.
