The Middle of NOWhere Rural Art & Music Festival creates dynamic, engaging, and unique intergenerational experiences where people of all backgrounds can express themselves authentically, celebrate human artistry, and honor the rural environment.

UpStitch’d will be hosting an interactive sewing and upcycling booth where festival-goers can explore hands-on creativity, learn simple sewing techniques, and bring clothing or fabric items to upcycle, patch, customize, or give new life to.

Come make your own custom “Sew Black” t-shirt with us! We’ll have sewing, customization, drinks, refreshments, music, and all the good vibes. Beginner-friendly + all materials provided. Pull up and create something one-of-one!

This one’s for the sewists.

Swap & Stitch is an intermediate upcycling workshop for those who already know their way around a sewing machine and want to move fast, experiment, and create something bold. Bring 1-5 pieces and come crop, patch, and rework thrifted pieces in a space that’s part clothing swap, part sewing party.

Spots are limited!
