For several years I did not have space for a dining table in my tiny apartment and being a dedicated sewer, I got creative and bought two wood folding TV trays, and a small sheet of MDF slightly larger than my cutting mat, that fit under my double bed nicely and was not too heavy to move. When I needed to cut fabric, I set it up in my huge 'wheel chair accessible' bathroom to use. My ironing board also set up in the bathroom. (That bathroom was big enough to hold a square dance in!) Lol.
