How Do I Access the Tool Crib?

  • You can request permission to access the Tool Crib if you have had prior instruction at the Fiber Department or are a Graduate Student.

Important Rules

Sewing machines borrowed from the crib are only available during open hours during the weekdays. They will need to be available for a number of our classes this semester. Students can borrow machines Friday before closing to hold until Monday. Students need to return machines before 9 am Monday.

If you need sewing machines outside these times, we recommend industrial sewing machine training.
