I am thinking about putting countertopping on it, the surface would be nice and slick for moving a quilt around on.

Guess I'll fess up now; some of my stash is out in the attached garage - in my sewing room "annex". I keep my batting out there, too.

My cats, Reggie (17 1/2lbs) and Emmy (14lbs) get on it at the same time and try to lay in the center when I'm trying to cut. They do not like it when I make them move to the off side tables. The are so good at anchoring down my fabric!

That way we can make it the size I want...as soon as I figure out what that is :roll: :lol: I want atleast one sewing machine sunk down at the table's level and DB said that he can make two or more inserts to go around my machines so that I can put any of them into the inset. He and I will make the tables to "my" height specifications, too. I thought about salvedged cupboard bases, but I would have to set them up off of the floor, so that my feet could get underneath them and I could stand right up/leaning onto the counter...that leaning over kills my back.
Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with me. Good luck to you, hope you will keep us posted. :)

My sewing studio is about 20x20, but none of my stash is housed in there. It's in my smallest bedroom, which used to be my sewing room. That room is 11x12 and it is full to the brim. I keep garment fabric in the closet and the quilting fabric in clear plastic tubs stack up three to four high. I am very organized and can pretty much tell by looking what is in each tub. Oh and I also like to work with recycled wool so it's lined up against the outside wall. There are 7 tubs of wool.
