We host a sewing night usually on Mondays between 7:15 to 8:30 PM but times vary. Check the [https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/ Meetup] for exact times. Please sign up (and cancel if you cannot make it) so we can anticipate the number of participants.

Due to frequent breakage of the sewing machines, we're asking all users of Noisebridge's sewing machines—including the domestics—to take a training session to learn how to use our machines properly.


The introductory training session is every 2nd Friday for all the sewing machines, and occasional Wednesday evening Sewing: Introduction to the Industrial Sewing Machines. Please sign up before coming to the event so we can limit classes to a manageable size and give everyone a chance to practice on the machines. There is often a waitlist, so if you are unable to make the session please cancel so that someone else can take your place.

[edit | edit source]

We hold as many classes as our volunteer members are able to teach! Sharing the knowledge is a path to creative collaboration and growth. Check the Meetup for sewing events. Please sign up (and cancel if you cannot make it) so we can anticipate the number of participants.


To prevent breakage of our machines, damage to other's materials or injury to yourself, get trained before using our sewing machines! We trust you if you say you know how to use the domestics but we require even experts to show us they know how to use our industrial machines. Sewing 101 or others of the Sewing 100 series is sufficient for use of the domestics and use of the room. Sewing 200 or higher is required for certification in use of the industrials. If you need help, lots of the folks who sew in the space are willing to take a bit from their own work to help you along.

And please donate to Noisebridge! We spend considerable time and energy to keep the space up and running. A monthly donation of $50.00 would help to keep sewing open and available when you need it, $100 would help stock us with pins and needles and the supplies we all need and $150 would help someone less fortunate learn to create, mend their own clothes and take part in all that is Noisebridge.
