Washington State University in Pierce County (Sponsor)


The Sewing & Stitchery Expo is the largest, most comprehensive consumer education and trade event for the sewing industry in the United States.

The Sewing & Stitchery Expo is a juried show. Very few booths open up each year and the jury's goal is to fill those booths with new and innovative products or with something that the show is lacking. Please send a packet of information that best explains/describes your business or product. This packet can contain pictures, descriptions or if possible, actual product.

Booth Size and Fee: 10 x 10 booth is $750.00

Packet must be received by Thursday, September 4, 2007.

Send to:

WSU Conferences & Professional Programs
7612 Pioneer Way East
Puyallup, WA 98371-4998

The jury usually meets in October and invitations to new vendors are sent out in November (after the deadline for existing vendors to return their contracts). If you wish to have your packet/samples returned to you, you must include a postage-paid envelope.

Please do not send fee with your packet. If you are chosen to be an exhibitor, you will be contacted and invoiced.
