About

A not so typical path to making clothes.

Hi, I’m Reis Becker, a largely self-taught sewist and patternmaker with a passion for making beautiful, tailored clothes.

I worked in tech for 5+ years, then left my job to teach English in Spain for a couple years. Madrid is where I began taking patternmaking and sewing classes and building up my skills to pivot into the fashion space.

I now draft original patterns & designs, sew my own samples, and continue to build my skills with every new project I take on.
