Visit our North Philadelphia Textiles & Sewing Department, the space for advanced and industrial sewing, leatherworking, and digital embroidery. Whether you want to learn upholstery or create custom apparel, our expert instructors will guide you through every step: from operating heavy-duty machinery to understanding design software.

Start with a project-based class to get certified on our equipment – like crafting a leather belt, designing tufted cushions, or sewing your own clothing. Once certified, you’ll gain access to our expansive shared work tables and a vibrant makerspace community of fashion designers and furniture makers. Explore a NextFab membership today and take your skills from hobbyist to professional.
