Requesting Equipment
Please speak up on the mailing list if you would like the space to own any additional equipment or tools, as we'll be adding things over time.
If you would like the space to afford something fancy quicker, consider holding some sewing events to make the sewing area some more money quicker.
Thread, Zips, and Other Consumables
Consumables like thread and zips are provided by the sewer, but should also be sold in the Oxhack shop when it gets stocked at some point.
