"Hey Mum. Did you have a use for my old table I made in High School?
Oh bother! I didn't want to "see it go" either - So many memories Good and Bad are tied up in that beautiful Timber and Metal table.
Considering He'd also recently returned 'Nemesis' - my Desktop Computer - and DS#2 has once again, updated for me.
(I am not sure how much of the original build is still left!)
It seemed fitting that I put the two together and at last give myself a computer area.
The only problem with that was - it didn't fit in the Sewing Room.
Or rather - it didn't fit the way things were!
Time to get rid of the "Make Do"
I have had for the past 5 years or more and make something permanent!
First Stop - Officeworks, to get a table.
Hmmm, the Top was perfect but the (optional - choose your own) legs made the whole table so unstable they had to go back!
Then to Ikea.
Which is nowhere near where I live!
Their Desk tops were Hollow-core so no good for what I wanted to do - which was, of course....
Cut a whopping big hole in the top of it!
Which wasn't as easy as it looks.
But we got there.
Then it was some more aerobics to fit a shelf underneath the hole (with the aid of some curtain track brackets form Ikea).
The table top is now secure, sitting on 2 Ikea drawer units (which are way more useful than wobbly legs any day) and fixed to my Cutting/Work table with a set of these nifty "attach table to bookcase" brackets.
So here it is ... the latest incarnation in the quest to find the perfect spot to sew.
It is NOT going anywhere any time soon and I defy it to wobble!
Now, Where did I leave my Quilt binding?
Enjoy your new sewing area!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed to see your machine. I bought myself that machine last year, and since then I keep discovering that people I know have the same machine. I think you are about the 6th.
Craft Room furniture updates have to be one of my favourite things to see. Everyone has different ideas and solutions to working out their own space. Yours looks even more gorgeous than before!
