Bio:

My name is Anna-Marie Janzen, I am the owner/operator of Reclaim Mending, a Winnipeg-based clothing repairs and alterations service.

I started sewing when I was 3 years old, at the feet of my grandmother. Years of a love of sewing and mending, and a passion for fair fashion has led me to embark on this journey of small business. My goal is to help people make their clothes last - so we can all reduce our consumption and the strain we put on the planet and on humanity with the fast fashion industry.
