One of my favorite things is a flat wooden tv tray (purchased at Goodwill for $5). I covered it with several layers of felt and then made a muslin fitted "sheet" for it. I take it to classes, retreats and set it up at home right by my sewing machine. My own private little ironing board! No waiting in line to press at class, no taking up tons of space at home.[/quote]
Oh I love this one! I needed a mini ironing board next to my machine because the big one doesn't fit in the room -- I'm doing a big log cabin and the running back and forth with every little seam was driving me crazy! This idea is perfect, thanks!!
