About
Welcome to Leigh Thayer (formerly RebeccaInEurope) where heritage craft meets high-fashion innovation. I’m Leigh, a fashion designer, fiber artist, and content creator passionate about creating bold, sustainable designs that empower individuals to embrace their unique style.
At the heart of the Leigh Thayer brand is a commitment to blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design to create clothing that speaks. My best-selling Scrap Yarn Hoodie on Ravelry is a perfect example of this ethos, combining upcycled materials with timeless techniques to craft statement-making garments for people who dare to stand out and express who they are.

Through my YouTube channel, I share my journey as a designer, offering behind-the-scenes looks at my creative process, colorful crochet tutorials, maximalist sewing projects, and explorations of high-fashion history. I also co-host the Threaded Together Podcast, where we dive into the intersections of design, garment construction, and sustainability.
At Leigh Thayer, we believe fashion is more than just clothing—it’s art, self-expression, and a commitment to a sustainable future. If you’d like to collaborate or have questions, feel free to contact me here.
