Mine is a custom made one by my husband. My sewing room looks a lot different these days. My sewing machine has relocated and I expanded into what was the guest room.

It is 4' x 5', a plywood base and a Formica top. He also made the shelf above my table as well as the cabinet, the wicker drawer cabinet it sits on was bought at a local store.

Yes, he builds it and I love it. He did the same thing for my Bailey Pro 15, made a table for it to sit in. My sewing machine in in the closet, we took off the doors and he built a desk into it to give me more room to walk around.

This is what our local quilt shop does when there are special sale days and they need more cutting space. The height seems just about perfect.

Mine is from IKEA Kallax. 4.5x6’. Used 1” melamine that we found at Home Depot for $20. Added two cup holders for my drinks, and a trash can.DH put it on casters so it’s easily moved, and the whole thing is put together so it can easily be taken apart in the event we ever move

I have 3 folding banquet tables. 2 are lengthwise next to each other and one sits at the end of the two as a T. I have bed risers under them also. I have plastic tubs with fabric under them.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]593229[/ATTACH]I bought 3 of these shelves from Target. 2 are back to back horizontally for my cutting table. We were going to put casters under them, but I like this height for my body. The third set of shelves do have the casters. I have made it into a large pressing area.

I have enjoyed using the Norden Gateleg Table from Ikea. (see link above for photo and info). It is made of birchwood. I added caster wheels to raise it up and make it mobile. It is perfect for small spaces because the 2 leafs fold down when not in use. The 6 drawers in the middle go across the width of the table and give plenty of storage space for quilting notions.

I would suggest something like Cindi has. Ikea has all kinds of things like that. Not what you asked for but I just bought some of the Ikea spice shelves to mount on my wall to keep my rulers in. I currently have a peg board which is ok but it seems the ruler I always need it the one on the back of the peg. Also some of my rulers don't have holes in them for hanging. I want to paint them white before I put them up. I saw it on pinterest. So many interesting ideas out there. Ikea is about 5 miles from me, so I can go often. I have physical therapy about 1/2 mile from Ikea, so I might go today.
