You don't need to worry about what you will put in the bins. You are a quilter. Give us storage and we will fill it. :D

I made my own with the TV tray and love it. I saw the instructions on this board. It works great and slides into a small space. If I need more room I have a regular ironing board that adjusts to different heights, or I use my island.

This is how I made mine although I did not put the foil under the batting. I probably will wish that I had. Mine matches the curtains in my sewing room.

Slide Out Ironing Board

I just don't have much floor space available.
http://www.jcpenney.com/dotcom/for-t...31-210071849-2 Check this tut out. I really like it and plan to make one when I get moved into my sewing room. I have a table much like the one in the video that will work perfectly. Right now I use a small ironing board that sets on the table, but I find that I have to keep getting up and down to iron, so the suggestions of the tv tables or something like a pull out would work well. |
Well I found this changing table on CL and we repainted and made it into an ironing station, plus I have lots of additional storage. Sorry having issues getting the picture to post, will keep trying.
See below for picture : ) |
If I had room for one like that I would use the bins for batting, pillow forms, scraps, interfacing, projects already in bags, etc.

Going to try just using the attachment ... and see if that works. Behind the door is 3 shelves, and the drawers are nice and large. We only paid about $10.00 for the cabinet and we had the paint. The fabric was left over from the other items I had decorated in my little sewing nook.

I bought a piece of plywood from Lowes (about 2x2), made a cover for it and screwed on feet. Absolutely LOVE it!! I had one of those tabletop ironing boards (in storage now) and hated it!! I put the one I have now on my cutting table to use it and lean it against the table when not using it. I've also put it beside me when I'm sewing a lot of things that need ironing (like half-square triangles) so I don't have to get up every two seconds. PERFECT solution for me!!

I m in line with sak658. I don't have one, but covering a TV tray that way is a great idea. and You can fold it up when you aren't using it

To me that looks more like something you would use in a laundry room, if you have one. Right now I'm using a tabletop ironing board using heavyweight cardboard, then Insul-Brite, a layer of cotton batting, and muslin. I do have some ironing board cover fabric somewhere, so when I make another, larger board, I'd probably use that. If I've pre-washed fabric, I will use my regular ironing board, set it up and watch TV while I iron - goes pretty quickly that way, the small board I use when sewing/quilting, since I don't have room to set up the ironing board.
