Our goal is to improve the planet by reducing our local carbon footprint through the recycling of fabric and yarn. By re-circulating these materials to the community, we keep them out of landfills and put them back into the hands of people that can use them. We offer an alternative, unique, local choice for sewers and knitters to shop. We create a sense of community that comes with sharing and helping others in their quest to create.

This week at Up-Stitch: It's the second Sunday of the month, which means we're open an extra day for all your crafting needs! Plus, we've got quite the lineup of events so you can connect with fellow artists in your community.

Don't need any new supplies, but still want to contribute to our area's needs? Sunnyview Rehab Center recently came to pick up another 20 walker bags, made from our community bundles by crafters like you! Come by the shop and check out the bundles available for you to take, make, and bring back for donations!
