The sewing/textiles area in the space features a variety of machines for sewing and finishing fabric projects, embroidery machines, an industrial sewing machine, a large cutting table in the right back room, looms for weaving, fiber arts supplies and yarn, and rug tufting machines and frames.

On 1st and 3rd Sundays from 5:30-8:30pm, we host a "Sew Awesome" meetup, an informal open make event in the space where folks can bring projects to work on.
