sail loft
Rigging fabric studio
A sail loft is a large open space, typically on an upper floor, where sails are made, repaired, or stored.
The elevated location and expansive floor area allow sailmakers to spread out large pieces of canvas for cutting and stitching: The old sail loft has been converted into apartments.
