Sewing Program
Our mission is to teach values of manual skill, creative do-it-yourself-ism, re-use and repair in the realm of textiles. We provide space and tools for emerging designers and sewers at all levels. Here is an opportunity to learn to use an industrial sewing machine, repair your clothes, or just play and get inspired by working in a social setting.
During our drop-in hours, Fridays 10am-2pm and Sundays 4-8pm, anybody is welcome to come work or get advice on a sewing or sewing machine problem.
We have an extensive array of industrial and domestic sewing machines including a walking foot, overlock, blindstitch hemmer, and coverstitch. Our machines can handle leather, canvas, and sails and we have a huge assortment of hardware, donated fabrics, notions, sewing and patternmaking equipment. We welcome sewing enthusiasts of all ages and skills and offer our space for teachers who want to give classes.
