Some time ago I saw a post where someone had made a sewing table out of a wooden dining table. They cut a hole in the table top and set their sewing machine in so that the machine bed was even with the table top. Can anyone help me find that post. The author had posted the instructions on how to make it. I have finally found someone to make one for me and now I can't find those instructions. Has anyone else seen that post or knows how I can find it?
Any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Eleanor Burns had some instructions on her website. Try googling Quilt in a Day?

Thanks Sunny580 and Cass62! I think both of these will be helpful to my DS's friend when he starts building my table!

There should be a u-tube video because she taped a show with her son actually doing all the steps that needed to be done.

If you haven't already found the dining table, I suggest you look for a computer table. My DH picked one up from a local school and the keyboard area is where my machine sits. The rest of the table (and it is big) is for spreading quilts out or my "stuff." All that he did was support the keyboard area with some wood. My sewing machine is flush with the rest of the table....same concept as your idea, but much simpler (in my humble opinion.) The keyboard "drawer" is off center but I have room on both sides. LOTS of room on the left side and some on the right.
