Sewing Table & Light Table

[DaveM]

Not having a huge amount of room for a permanent sewing table or a light
table, I managed to get this table from Amazon that seems to suit my needs.

Has a drop down platform for lowering the sewing machine to level, and it
folds up neatly to store away.

I made the insert to go around the machine when lowered

Wish I had room for a table like that Dave, when I need the sewing machine out, it has to sit on top of my light table, an Ikea glass-topped computer desk with a 4ft fluorescent underneath

It does pack away very neatly

Looks good Dave, but my search on Amazon didn't reveal anything like that, can you provide a link please?

I think the other half might quibble at that sort of money, and "Where would you put it?"!

What a load of….. 

An alternative way to achieve the same end is make your own sewing table!



Made around three or more years ago, my custom table is environmentally friendly and up-cycled from waste items and therefore saves the planet from land fill in some small way, nothing to do with being skint or having deep pockets and short arms….

The table was part of a packing crate that our cinema had its Imax cameras delivered in from Canada, legs are from the sides of a pine headboard, and the sewing machine was amongst ‘stuff’ a neighbour asked me to take to the dump. Recessed machine slot and enough room for larger projects as it simply rests on the kitchen table and is removable, soon to be stored by being hung under that table by turn buckle clips, and when a suitable piece of glass turns up (at my store) the top will become a light table.

Eco friendly, low emissions and best of all it cost nowt!

Well done, it looks very portable
