Terrific table! Neat that your hubby is handy at this kind of thing~

@SusanSusan33 -- Here's more pics of my sewing room. Some are fuzzy but you can still figure out I just took a pic and turned, took an pic and turned. Sort of a 360 degree pic without the movie. I need to straighten my stash! I have material for valances for the window. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

What a great table!! I would love to see all the pictures of your newly done room!! I also suffer from being height challenged and I found a kids desk works best for me, but I don't have a dedicated space.

I'm green with envy!! For the beautiful table and the handy hubby!!

great idea,have fun sewing now

Great job! Also like your cupboard/cutting table very much.

Lovely sewing space. Do you loan out your husband? LOL

Nice area and I love the wall hangings.

Beautiful! Looks like an awesome idea .

Have the same problem with tables too tall. Nice room and set up.

Thanks to my DH for following several sets of instructions printed out for him to make this sewing table for my sewing room. I have three machines that I use. A Brother SQ 9050, Singer Featherweight, and a Singer 301A. All three fit in the table with height adjustments so each machine table top fits flush with the table itself. What a guy! I found the table and brought it home. Showed him where I wanted the machines to sit on the table and left him alone. (He works much better alone!) He also had to adjust the height of the table by cutting off 1.5" from each leg. (I'm very short!)

Just brought the table into the room at 11pm so haven't had a chance to start sewing on it but will do so tomorrow when I start quilting my Table Runner Swap partner's table runner.

I've also attached a pic of the way my sewing machine was originally set up. The plastic portable tables are adjustable but height settings were either too tall or too short. I had to scrunch my shoulders up and down when I quilted. By the time I finished quilting a t-shirt quilt, my back hurt so bad I couldn't sew for two days.

I think this new table will be perfect.

I love the whole set up especially the cutting area, I use a self healing mat of course and our kitchen table it is really to low I am 5.5 tall and it kill my back to cut fabric I see you have a bottom cabinet and counter that sure is better than my kitchen table.My table is large but sure is a back breaker.

Awesome table. Your DH is a keeper!
