Mission

In Stitches is a costume design and rental house providing services for the Film, Television and Theater industry throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Costume Design is much more than just a garment or a piece of clothing. It is a powerful storytelling tool, a color memory, an experience and a powerful form of expression. How artists chose to design in our small world can also position personal values and how we see ourselves within society.

In Stitches consolidates large & small costume inventories:

  • To broaden the inventory owners closets to decrease on net-new purchases.

  • Increases opportunities to maintain a re-usable inventory while still maintaining the integrity of the article.

  • Provide a central space and solid starting point for any visiting designers or productions.

  • Encourage & practice sustainability to decrease excessive textile consumption and waste.

Located in a converted historic hospital at the base of Mt. Tabor in SE Portland, In Stitches sits in the Pre-Op room on the Surgery floor ready to prepare your dressings.

***The online inventory will be available by request soon.***
