New Sewing Table Pics! Finally...
 
8 Attachment(s)
I finally learned how to re-size pictures so I can share with you guys! I had to call in my IT guy into my office at work so he could show me how. Anyways, I posted a couple of weeks ago about the sewing table that I had made. These pics are in the top of my barn that we recently built. I used left over 5" boards to make this sewing table. The first pic is after I glued the 5" boards together. The 2nd pic is after the glue dried, and I sanded on it for days and days... and then polyurthaned (spelling) it. I then built the shelf for my machine to sit down in and then moved it upstairs and put my machine in it! I just finished my first quilt, I will take some pics of it tonight and post them tomorrow now that I know how. Oh and the last pic is of my dog Cooter, I get kinda scared in the barn all by myself sometimes, I'm the biggest sissy ever was, and so I bring him up there with me. He just lays on that rug the whole time like he is guarding me, he is my big baby! He's bigger than I am tho! There is also a pic of my fabric stash, I just started quilting not that long ago so it's not all that big but I am working on it like a vengeance! I am so so so addicted to fabric, so it won't be long! Thanks guys for looking :) I resized all these pics so hopefully they turn out now....

Love your table how did you get the hole the right size four your quiltingplatform

Great table and fabulous sewing space! If I had a space like that, I'd never leave. Okay, I guess I'd need kitchen and bathroom breaks.

Getting the right size for my acrylic table was easy, I just measured it and cut it out. I cut it a little shy of my measuring just to be on the safe side and then I sanded it down to where I needed it. It is just two squares cut out and connected. I did build it too low for my machine, but I just sat my machine on a 1/2" board, drew around it and then cut it out and put it underneath my machine. I then mitered around the edges so my acrylic table would sit down in perfect. Really, it was pretty easy and a heck of alot cheaper than if I wanted to buy one like that. And I already had all the wood left over from the barn so I didn't have to buy anything at all.

I'm jealous of that sewing space and your fabulous sewing table. Looks like there's plenty of room for your growing stash.

teriann 07-25-2012 02:55 PM

Tartan - the bathroom is right beside me, you can see the wall boxed in there. I might take some more pics and post them tomorrow when I post pics of my first quilt. And the kitchen is right behind me. It's not a full kitchen, I just built a horseshoe bar, put a counter top stove in the bar, and I have a little fridge under the bar counter. I say little fridge but that little sucker will hold 5 cases of beer! Lol...

Quiltngolfer 07-25-2012 03:06 PM

I am amazed. You quilt and do woodwork like that? Wonderful table! I love your barn space too.

LyndaOH 07-25-2012 03:33 PM

Retreat at Teri Ann's! Great space and great job on the sewing table!

Monroe 07-25-2012 03:37 PM

I'm in! I'll bring the lemonade. Wish my ancient barn could be so pretty.

Grandma Peg 07-25-2012 03:53 PM

What a beautiful room and Cooter approves also.

terri bb 07-25-2012 03:58 PM

im convinced we need a picture of the barn from the outside and one of your yard too! yep, i know how you feel about sewing; the first time i put my foot to the pedal it changed my life forever and not in a hobby type way, either. it's become a passion for me and when im not sewing, im hand sewing and getting better at hand quilting, and when im not doing either i have a doodle pad and some colored pencils. ive only been sewing a little over a year now and i collect stash like a mad hatter! congrats, and may we share a lot of laughs over the years!
