Check on http://www.govdeals.com then check in your county / township / etc. I got three solid wood office desks and a credenza for $37.00. All are in great shape and the perfect height for cutting, sewing, and ironing. ( I'm 5' 5").

All you have to do is set up an account and bid on your item...easy-peasy :)

Here is a 3 part video on HGTV that shows different ways to set up a sewing area from a whole room to a closet. Hope it helps.

Check Walmart & walmart.com, sometimes it is on there cheaper.

that is so cool, I know what I will be saving up for (once I get employed)

I got a $30 table at IKEA and a $5 mini ironing board for piecing blocks. Works like a charm and money left over.

It is, isn't it? I am in the process of planning a sewing studio over the next several months...I am cruising the sites for ideas. You might try the same. When I had my smaller machine, my DH found an old sewing machine cabinet that was in pretty good shape, got it really cheap. Cut an opening for the machine and then put a lift in to put it up and down, but only put it level to top of table, never in the complete down position, so a bracket shelf would have worked. Perhaps you can find something like that.

I won't have a ton of room, but I'd like to have a sturdy table and room to iron and have storage. What are my options? My budget is about $150-200. Am I dreaming?

go to amazon...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

this is the best price I have found!

I bought a used desk for 15.00 at the HFH Restore. I like it better than any sewing table I have seen. I plan on cutting a hole and recessing my machine, but have been too busy sewing.
