My new table has arrived and I am so thrilled! For the last few months I have had about a hundred different plans, drawn lots of sketches, and even had a graph paper drawing of my room, with little cut out pieces of paper for the different pieces of furniture, and I would arrange and rearrange them over in different patterns. My sewing room is kind of small, and I just couldn't get everything in there and still have room to walk. I looked at some really beautiful tables made by Koala, but they were so expensive, and they didn't quite meet my needs. I was getting frustrated and feeling like it would be impossible to squeeze what I wanted into my little room. One day a friend suggested I make the table I want - well, she can do things like that but I only work with sewing machines, not power tools! So I went to a cabinet maker with my plan. A table for everything - cutting, pressing, sewing, and quilting!
I took out everything else in my sewing room. I have to say I am really loving it! I had them put in "bread boards" on both sides of me as I sit at the machine for space and to support a large quilt.
Now I am going to mess up that room and give it a "broken in" look! Good thing I took these pictures while it was still clean. It may never look this clean again! Aaaaah.
Thank you Sutherland Cabinets!
UPDATE: If you would like a copy of my pitiful plans, click HERE. They are really sad plans - I took them to the cabinet maker and he made his own - I wish I had thought to ask for a copy of HIS plan.
Your new table is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering...do you use your start/stop button on your machine? I see you have one. I love mine, and never use the foot pedal.
Have fun in your wonderful sewing room!!
I have played with my start/stop button, but I use the foot pedal when I'm not playing...but it is nice to know it is there in case I ever sprain my ankle or something!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love my table I had a cabinet maker do the machine cut-out for. The sewing machine cabinets at stores cost about three times what they are worth.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!!! Sharyn in Kalama
Beautiful table and such a clever LAdy you are to get your cabinet MADE. Are there wheels on it too?
ReplyDeleteXOXOXO Subee
oh WOW! Lucky, lucky you and very clever to think of all that!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this made for myself. Do you happen to have the drawings you worked from? I'd go to your guys and say just make me one exactly like this, but I'm out in Illinois. Thanks! Rose
ReplyDeleteI would love to share my plans with you! I don't know how to contact you. Send me your e-mail address and I will send them right off!
ReplyDeleteMy husband just had cabinets and countertops put in our garage for party use and I have just a simple table in my sewing room and want something custom made because the ones I've seen just haven't been what I want and are way overpriced like you said . I would love to have a copy of the plans as well if possible . This table is Perfect ! My email address is lilrb904@aol.com
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanna,
ReplyDeleteI love your dream sewing cabinet and may I be so bold too and ask for the plans please.
Just found your blog with the link-up to Sew Many Ways.
Do you FMQ on your Horizon or do you Longarm?
Great Quilting BTW.
Thank you in advance, Cindy. :o)Aus.
May I get your plans? kbleavit@telus.net Also did you have the electrical wired right in? How hard was it to find a chair that could reach?
ReplyDeleteLove the island! Can you send me the plans also? Sandywernert@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteI love it as well! Would you please send me the plans also? grifhawk@yahoo.com Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have had your dream table bookmarked on my computer for quite some time while my wife was looking for a sewing table. We keep coming back and using your for a reference to compare all the others to. Safe to say you did an awesome job in the design. Since we have no others that compare as favorably would it be possible to get a copy of the plans as well, or perhaps you could post them online since you have had numerous requests. Unless that violates an agreement with your cabinet maker.

Love, love, love your sewing cabinet! I, too, would like to request the plans at rpayton03@att.net.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Your site is great!! I'm going to get to work on some of your shared ideas. Saw that many have commented and requested your plans for your marvelous table. I've had to downsize from a house and would love to look at the plans to see if they work in my smaller space. Couldn't find where/if you had posted them. Are you still sharing?
ReplyDeleteMaggie, I have some very primitive plans that I took to the cabinet maker, then he must have made his own from mine. Send me your e-mail address I and I will be happy to share my primitive ones!
ReplyDeletei love your custom sewing table, can you send me a copy of your plans? If so, please send them to rakkc@msn.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Hi Jeanna - love love love your table. will you please email me your plans as well? I would love to look into this. Thanks - graceanneorpilla(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteHello Jeanna - what an awesome table! I would love a copy of your plans if you're willing to share. Will you please email them to me? Thank you, thank you! Kim momdaloon@metrocast.net
ReplyDeleteLove your table! Could you explain what your sewing machine is sitting in? It looks like a drawer of some sort. The folks at that cabinet shop did a great job interpreting your sketch! Hope you've been enjoying it these past couple of years!
ReplyDeleteI had them build a shelf and there is a hole in the counter top. The machine sits right down in the hole and the clear insert around the machine makes every thing the same level as the table top. I hope that answers your question!
DeleteWow, love your cabinet and storage!, what size is your room? I am trying to figure out how to get my sewing room to "flow" while I am in there. Could you possibly send me your plans of this cabinet please @vsmith9959@aol.com.
