Need a sewing table
#1
So I bought my first sewing machine a couple of weeks ago. Since I bought the most machine I could afford, I didn't have money left for a table. And honestly, the husband and I didn't actually know where my sewing would even take place. We have finally settled on a corner of our bedroom. 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?

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

Low price option would be to purchase a couple of small drawer units of the right height (or two drawer file cabinets) and top them with a hollow core door. (Our local shop has seconds on the hollow core doors for less than $10.) That way you get a six foot by two or three foot work area, room for sewing, cutting and ironing. I made a removeable ironing surface from a 2'x2' scrap of thin plywood covered with 2 layers of cotton batting (or an old mattress pad would do, and topped it with the material you can get at the fabric store for ironing board covers.

check out auctions or estate sales - I found a huge and modern desk with a right-L on it for $5 at an auction. I took the right-L off of it because it wouldn't fit in my room, but the desk is perfect...gotta look at the multi use purposes of ordinary things.
