Know what you mean about limited budget. My big work table and the main desk my sewin machine sits on was given to me by my sister. My other table was given to me by my daughter and my big tall metal table my cutting mat sits on for cutting was given to me by my brother in law. My cabinet I store 90% of my fabric0 in I got in garage sale for $20. Huge 5 section cabinet with glass doors (old medical cabinet from doctor's office.... 6 1/2 ft tall and 3 ft wide and about 15 inches deep or more. Can't bet it and it is all within eye sight and does not collect dust.
My whole sewing room is a collage or hand-me-downs but my sewing room is so big all my friends and relatives that sew are envious. I'm in hog heaven!!!! (smile)
You got a bargain girl. Good job.
