Sewing table height depends on your height.

As for an ironing board, I used a piece of luann (a very light & cheap plywood) 2 x 4' and hubby nailed stoppers on the bottom of it that just fit over the point of a regular ironing board so that you can slide it back just enough that the point is left to sit the iron on.

I covered the luann with the thermal insulbright batting-shiny side up and covered the batting with an ugly piece of cotton plaid. Then I covered that with the teflon type ironing board fabric. The batting & fabric are just wrapped around to the back and stapled on.

I think we spent less than $20 on the entire project--much cheaper than a "real" big board. It's a little smaller than a "real" big board but if it was any larger, it would be harder to move it off & on. It takes up a lot of space so mine is usually leaning on a wall, out of the way until I need it.

I'll run downstairs and take pictures to attach.....
