Ever want to sew your own accessories, or experiment with designing and decorating through embroidery? We offer sewing and digital embroidery classes in our Textiles department to teach you tips and techniques on how to use sewing machines, digital embroidery machinery, and software.
Join NextFab
Unique to our North Philly NextFab location is our Textiles and Sewing Department, which houses advanced sewing, leatherworking, upholstery, and digital embroidery equipment. Our instructors will teach you the ins and outs of how to make your own sewing projects, how to use our tools and equipment, and instruct classes on how to construct leather belts, clothing, tufted cushions, and more. Once you’re certified on our equipment you can spread out on our shared work tables and create away! Explore how a monthly membership at NextFab can help advance your skills, explore new techniques, and introduce you to a new community of sewers, furniture makers, and fashion makers.
