Pictures would help if you have time.
I'd LOVE to have a larger level sewing area. Thank you

I would love to post pictures but can't seam to get them to post. Best way to discribe it is he made a droped shelf attached to the bottom of the table.

What about this, I hear a few people on the board have said they have this table and they like it, it seems relatively inexpensive

You can get a better grade of plywood that is smoother. I've been quilting for 10 years and I now have a Horn table that my sewing machine sets into. I like it a lot. However, my sewing room has evolved over those 10 years. I started sewing on a desk in our guest room, graduated to a drafting table that my husband cut out the center for my machine and then finally the Horn. I actually think the door or plywood would be a good and inexpensive solution.

Thanks everyone for your ideas! Although I would love to find an old table and repurpose it, I have to move on the re-do of this room while I have the window of opportunity with DH, family schedule, etc. I think we will look at MDF tops and something to go underneath. But perhaps a field trip to Ikea might be fun! I will keep you posted!

I repurposed an office desk that I found on craigslist. If money allows, you might try a Lowes or Home Depot or a local countertop shop and have a laminate countertop made to your size. You can buy pre-made countertops, but they will have a backsplash, which I would not want.

My DH made my sewing table out of plywood, router edges, round off corners, sand well, use 3-4 coats varathan, then Min Wax for furnature. It is just the right heigth. he cut a hole in the top so my machine sits leavel with the plywood. have lots of storage under left side. The furnature wax helps fabric slide easy.
