Makers’ Space
What is the Makers’ Space?
Have you ever hit a point in a project where your home machine just… can’t? Fabric too thick? Sewing machine too slow?
The Makers’ Space might be just what you need! The Industrial Commons offers access to our Industrial Sewing Lab. You bring the fabric and patterns, and we supply the rest!
You gain access to:
Four types of industrial sewing machines: single needle, walking foot, serger, and cover stitch
Machine thread and sewing tools (bring your own fabric!)
Three large cutting tables to fit your pattern pieces (No more cutting on the floor!)
A facilitator to help troubleshoot machine issues
*Closed toe shoes are required to enter the Sewing Lab.

In order to participate in Makers’ Space, one must have experience using industrial sewing machines. Graduates of the Industrial Sewing Program hosted by The Industrial Commons automatically qualify.
First-time participants must participate in a mandatory introduction to the single needle machine and must obtain the facilitator’s approval before accessing any of the other types of machines. Participants who have already attended a Makers’ Space or graduated from the Industrial Sewing Program can start on their projects when they arrive.

We operate on a ‘pay what you can’ basis.
Makers’ Space days are 6 hours, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, with two mandatory 20 minute breaks and one mandatory 30 minute lunch.
