My "new" sewing table

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share and post some pictures of my sewing table that Mr. Sew Snuggly made for me.  This project took about a week to complete and he was eager to use power tools. I wanted a sewing table with my machine dropped and I already had a table, so hubby and I looked online and found images and tried to make our own. So, he cut a hole in the table, made a box, and had a custom glass top made. It came out pretty well. It took about five evenings and whammm...I'm a happy Mrs. Sew Snuggly :)

Here are some pictures:
Cut out a square bigger that the machine


Made a box (Front open)

Attached the box to the table 



 Made a template for the glass



Added a ledge for the glass. (the brown squares are removable  stickers)


Stained the ledge and put a thin layer of felt in the box 





All done!





I've read that a flat surface is good for FMQ. I hope it helps.

Happy Quilting,
Dara

  2. Hi Dara, That is totally cool. Your husband did an excellent job. The glass insert is really nice. Enjoy, no doubt it will make quilting more comfortable.

  3. My hubby converted our old kitchen table for me and I love it! It made FMQ so much easier and also piecing and putting those big quilt tops together is so much nicer with a flat surface.

    You are going to love it!
