My hubby made me a table with left over plywood and wall paneling and sat my machine flush as well...works great and my fabric slides very nicely..I can't afford any of the fancier table/cabinets either...Thanks for sharing...oh by the way did you make your sewing machine covers??

Great idea, I sew on a table from a garage sale 2X3 so I appreciate your advice. Did you use a router for your cut out?
What kind on material did you use for your box - how did you build it.
Thank you. Don't think for a minute we aren't interested, we use anything for our sewing spaces or to make storage space for fabric.

Welcome to the board, you did a great job!! There is nothing wrong with upcycling. I had my husband do the same thing for me with my old office desk and it turned out to be the perfect and best economic solution. I am going to paint mine this spring, as soon as I can open the windows. The desk has a laminate, formica type finish and is scratched so I want to smooth it and make her look purdy. I plan to use an oil based outdoor or marine gloss. Happy sewing!!

As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. You invented very cleverly. Well done. Welcome to the QB, we are always interested in new ideas.
As Teddybear Lady said can we some of your quilts.
