Thanks! I have seen several uses for mason jars so I thought "why not my sewing stuff?" And with a 4 year old and 4 cats, I needed something out of her reach and something that the cats can't knock off the table/shelf.
The table I am having him build will serve as my cutting area, storage and sewing area. It will have 2 shelves with 3 slots for baskets/tubs. I drew it out for him and he says he can make it; we shall see.
