sewing

Wednesday nights at Noisebridge is when the community gets together to give classes. I would like to attend and hopefully other artisans as well and we can see what organically grows from it.

Sewing machines currently at Noisebridge...edited by Maria on June 30, 2015

Pfaff 2022. This machine is in working order. I purchased it from the original owner recently. It was never used. This machine has IDT which is a fancy way to say dual feed. If you have any questions on using the machine you can text or call me @ 415-850-3704. My name is Maria and I live about in the Mission, close by. This Pfaff machine is a good machine. It does many different stitches. However, you have to adjust the machine and the pressure foot to execute them properly.

Brother machine works as well.

Single needle JUKE has a few issues that need to be fixed.

The over lock also a JUKE is has issues and needs to be fixed.

We are working hard to make the space a functional and beautiful space to work in.

2015 Upgrade

As a spinoff of the Noisebridge Booth for Maker Fair 2015 project the sewing area is going to be upgraded. Recently people have started maintaining and using the sewing area regularly again. The casework being built for Maker Faire 2015 will actually be designed for the sewing area so that after the show it may form the basis of the sewing area upgrade project.

I have started collecting inspiration images that will be used to design the cabinets and new sewing area. This project is currently in the conceptual design phase, so if you have ideas please add them here. Not pictured are ideas for storage of donated materials and fabrics. I think there should also be some clothes rods for hanging up projects and materials. Maybe a trip to a fabric store(s) could help with storage.
