ABOUT STITCH UP CHICAGO:
Stitch up Events is all about the many makers and small maker business owners that make up this incredible community. We encourage offline support and growth as much as online. Connecting is how we all thrive. Stitch Up Chicago was born from the idea of taking an online group offline to share fiber love. That is what every single Stitch Up is about: creating safe spaces and celebrating our common love of fiber. We hope you join us!
Special thank you to our host LYS, Nina Chicago.
Since the very first Stitch Up Chicago, Nina Chicago has welcomed us with open arms, fabulous treats and incredible yarn.
Stitch Up Chicago simply would not be possible without our incredible sponsors.
These are brands and people really invested in making the fiber community awesome.
