We spend our summers in WA, we have a small mobile home and sewing can be a challenge. I didn't even set up my stuff until 2 weeks before we were leaving last year because I didn't know where to put everything.

So, here's my old setup and here's my new setup. This is a Sauder sewing cabinet, I ordered it online through Walmart, I got it for $119 but it goes on sale for $99 frequently and the shipping is free to the Walmart nearest you. It's really sturdy and the shelves can hold up to 25 lbs.

I set up in front of one of the recliners but DH said no problem, we have another recliner, an overstuff chair, and a couch so he's comfortably covered no matter what!

Old setup, poor DH had to relocated all the stuff on the couch to take a nap!

New setup with everything out and ready to go

When done, the sewing machine goes on the shelf

Found it on the Sauder website, but also found that Walmart carried it so ordered through them.

Great idea! Very nice.

What a great cabinet! I've not seen that before. If I had a place, I'd sure get one. I know you are enjoying it!

beaniekins 08-11-2011 02:49 PM

That's awesome! I dream of the day when the basement renovations are done and I don't have to clear my sewing stuff of the dining table at dinner time anymore.

Phannie1 08-11-2011 02:49 PM

What a nice piece to have. You said Walmart?

nyelphaba 08-11-2011 02:50 PM

I have the same cabinet from Walmart. I've been using it for about seven years and it still looks brand new like yours. Where you put your sewing machine underneath, I keep plastic containers with my thread in them. Enjoy.

grandmajuki 08-11-2011 02:52 PM

Great idea!!

It looks very nice. How tall is in where you set your machine when sewing? I wonder if a handy DH could cut a well for your machine to sit in? Or a DW (sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone :lol: ).

How nice to get to come to Washington to spend your summers! :-D

I don't really need a well for the machine to sit in, I actually have an oversized acrylic table for the machine but I brought up the small table instead this year. I only do small projects here and even the small table has been more than adequate for my fmq. However.......I have a table at my other place and I've asked DH to cut a well in that one so we'll see how it goes! He's pretty handy!

Ditto ... a few of us mentioned we have the same cabinet when someone else pictured hers recently. I'm quite happy with it, have had it about 5 years or so now.

On the bottom "foot" shelf I keep my threat totes. I keep all my thread in clear plastic tackle box totes. My machine stays put on the top.
