Other sewers have suggested getting something similar in a sports department, fishing section. Supposedly, there's a fisherman's version that also has small pockets that is used to store lures, etc. I haven't found one of those, either! You say you got yours at Goodwill which means someone donated it. Wonder where they found it??
Anyone else out there have something similar? Where did you get it? Thanks.

The small ironing board was a TV tray I pruchased at Wal Mart. I then made a ironing cover for it. It is 26" high and not adjustable. It is very sturdy and I only use it next to my machine. I don't think I can live without anymore. Give it a try it was easy to make because it is rectangled.

In the beginning I had to share the guest bedroom with my sewing.I Had to use just a small corner. But the kids grew up and moved out and I was able to take one of the bedrooms. If you raise your kids right they WILL move out eventually
