Hi, this blog has been upgraded, but I'm leaving the old pages online until the search engines catch up. If you want to join the discussion, this may be the page you're looking for on the new site.
Everything in it's place.
And a place for everything.
During some recent garage sale madness (both sold and bought), we came across a great sewing table. Take a look...
While the idea of making money via garage sale is great, it seems the law of Garage Sale Karma is that those same earnings spend even quicker in the same venue. Hello, sewing table.
This is a well-made, sturdy wood table with a bunch of inner hinges and springs that magically store a sewing machine. What you're seeing here is amazing considering that less than 24 hours ago, it was all in flat pieces. It was unable to fit in our car, so Matty methodically (and sometimes agressively) took it apart.
There are all kinds of nooks and crannies to store thread, notions and the like. The table top opens and the sewing machine can sit even with the surface. There are fasteners to attach my Singer; then when company comes over or what have you, I can "fold" the machine into the table. Viola! Now it's just a table.
I also received this sewing chair. And while it may look ordinary and uncomfortable, it's actually pretty comfy, the right height, and has a secret compartment under the cushion. I'm not quite certain what I'd want to store under my bottom, but now I have that option.
