Over the course of the pandemic, I’ve learned how to cook & how to use power tools for various DIY adventures, both small & large. Next, I think I’m going to learn how to sew. Any suggestions for getting started?
I heard the @TOToolLibrary Maker space may be running a workshop to teach sewing soon. They have 2 or 3 great sewing machines you can borrow as well. Curtains are a good first project.
We do indeed loan sewing machines. No hard date for a sewing workshop in the future, but if you follow us on Instagram we often update upcoming classes there :) thanks for thinking of us

We're experiencing an outage on our website right now - we're working on it! Should be back up shortly. Thanks everyone who reported it to us - much appreciated.
Discovered on Friday that @TOToolLibrary had re-started lending from its Spadina location on Jul 24, 2020 - a month ago! 😮
Immediately borrowed a sewing machine. Back on a repair roll! Also picked up some seeds from Toronto Seed Library.🌱

Hey maker twitter, I'm volunteering with some folks who are making an app to generate custom 3d printed ppe masks. If any of y'all with 3d printers want to test and maybe start producing some masks let me know!
Curious and delightful students from @WALDORFtoronto visited us this week! They learned about Luke's story, our Foundation's origin, how our ramps are made & how to measure steps for ramps they'll be offering to businesses as part of the School Project funded by @ToyotaCanada!
ALT Jessica, our Engagement Coordinator, listens as one of 6 students looks to the side and asks a question in the Makerspace. There are orange buckets of green, red and blue paint in the foreground.
ALT Holding up and pointing to a yellow ramp, Jessica smiles as many of the 8 students hold up their hands to answer a question.
ALT Ten students sit around a wooden table with water glasses. The students are sporting various expressions while one, in a blue striped long-sleeve, is mid-question to Luke, who’s in soft focus in the foreground. Their teacher looks on in the background.
ALT A student wearing a red long sleeve shirt and black overall snow pants, scratches his head while holding a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste. Sitting in front of him is a smiling student in a grey t-shirt, and behind him is a pondering student in a green shirt and a smirking student with a grey long sleeve.
