The STITCH Style Market returns with 15 Fashionable Artisans

May 27, 2026

Event Announcement

Join Sponsor Hay Runner on June 4 at the Annual STITCH Runway Show + Style Market

While the centerpiece of STITCH is the incredible runway show featuring six Maine designers, there are at least a dozen more reasons to check out the event this year. We’re excited to welcome back Little Chair Printing for on-site custom screen printing, and this year we’ll also be joined by Wet Day Fire for custom chain stitching as well. Bring a special piece of your own to be embellished with printing, stitching, or both! Most of our runway designers will have their work available at the exclusive STITCH Style Market, and they will be joined by ten more artisans working in jewelry, leather, custom hats, felted apparel, and curated home goods. 


Shopping can be thirsty work, so we’re pleased that Cocktail Mary will be joining again this year with a selection of special cocktails and mocktails. When you buy a ticket to STITCH and take home a handmade creation from the Style Market, you help craft the future of Maine and its creative economy. View the Style Market Vendors
