My grandfather taught me to wood work when I was a kid. So, I am going to be making it myself.

I only have one machine right now, but I was thinking about making drop leaves that extend when I need them and go away and hide with I don't. I also like drawers and having hidey holes. On the right side, I was thinking about doing a hidden drawer thing, where the top is a cutting/ironing board, I do a lot of paper piecing. Something like this, http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/origi...2925154909.jpg with quilt things instead.

I actually built my own setup. The cabinet has a lift lid on the right half with a well that stores my embroidery machine and whatnots when not in use. I don't know if you can tell but on the left side of the cabinet there is a drop down leaf. When extended, this makes a very nice sized cutting table, which is why it it slightly taller than the sewing table. It is on wheels because it is quite heavy. The drawers are the full depth of the cabinet which is nice. I also made another table to put to the left of the sewing table when quilting something large. It is a exact copy of the sewing table without the hole. I made it work for the space I have now which as you can see, it quite crowded. I usually have these set up in a L when working on something. Now, when I move into the new house hopefully in a few months, my sweetie has agreed to let me have the finished bonus room over the garage for my sewing room. It is 15x 20 and even has it's own bathroom. Oooohhh the possibilities! Him being an electrician has even agreed to put in extra lighting where I want it. I am not getting too excited yet because I will go crazy planning it all out.

And just to be overly obsessive I made a machine cover, pin cushion, and thread catcher to match the color of the bottoms of the tables and cabinet.

This is my temporary solution so far... I got a piece of 3/4" think MDF that was cut to 44 X 24 and then wrapped in contact paper from Walmart. I am probably way to amused with myself by it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]515651[/ATTACH]
