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.                                                  
  • You must sign the Tool Crib Agreement to gain access to the crib.                                                                                                 

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 Sunday/Monday. Students need to return machines before 9 am Monday.

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