I'll be moving my sewing room into my bedroom, should be interesting to say the least, but worth it.
I'll need a good, but not pricey, compact sewing table-perhaps one that folds out. Any recommendations from anyone?
I have 2 closets in my bedroom, so I will clear one out and it will house the fabric stash, which is already in plastic drawers stacked.
Just when we think we've got our sewing rooms perfect, zap life happens!
oh well, it's for the best...
I'll post pictures of my sewing room tomorrow.

Hi Maryanna,

Well, at least you're moving your sewing things for a great cause! :thumbup: It's tough these days for young and older alike. Bless his heart and yours.

I do have one idea for you on your table request. A ways back in this thread, a drop leaf table was suggested to me. The poster said it gave her a lot of room when needed, but folded up rather compactly when not in use. Might that be a workable option for you? Most of those tables are taller than I would like, but you could use a taller chair I suppose and build up your feet with a box if needed. Something like this can be found used for not too much these days. Best of luck to you!

Happy sewing,

I made a table with a 4x8 1/2 sheet of ply wood and four three shelf bookcases from walmart. I love it and it didn't cost much. I would add a pick but I'm not sure how.
