My sewing machine was on an old farm table, but it was always cluttered with my tools and projects, so I found one of those old oak desks that teachers used when I was a kid, and now the clutter has real drawers to live in. I especially love the two slide outs that are either side of me when I sew ( like a breadboard in a kitchen), now I just need to make a small ironing pad to use on one of them. Best $35 I ever spent at Goodwill.
