Erin Hogan-Braker

Erin is the owner of 7th Bone Tailoring. She learned how to sew from her mother, a children’s sewing instructor. Erin received a B.S. in Apparel Design & Manufacturing from the University of Wisconsin-Stout while working in a Macy’s alterations department hemming pants under the supervision of Ruth Hubinette. Her tailoring education continued in NYC with on-going apprenticeships with Master Tailor Nelson Arriaga and Master Patternmaker Nicholas Caito. Erin credits these two mentors for shaping her hands with classical men's tailoring, haute couture sewing, and pattern techniques.
