Many thing I have repurpossed have already been stated on here, fishing tackle boxes, skewers for stilletos, a kitchen table. I use a silverware tray beside my sewing machine for seam ripper, scissors, hem gauge, etc. I have an ironing board thats made to hang over a door beside my machine ( we mounted it to the wall). It is just right for me to roll from sewing to pressing. While at an auction, I bought another one with a new cover for $2.00. I needed the cover but not the board, after removing the cover I hung the metal mesh ironing board on shelf hangers & hung pot hooks from the kitchen on it. I hang my rulers, stencils and anything else with holes in the end on these hooks. Its just above my cutting table & works great!! I sooo enjoy this board!! :lol:
