How to Build a Cheap Sewing Table

If you only use your sewing machine for simple mending jobs now and then, it isn't a big deal to set it up on the kitchen table and put it away again when you're done. But if you sew more than a couple of times a month it's nice to have it already set up on a table in its own little corner. You can buy a table already assembled that is made specifically to be a sewing table, but why spend hundreds when you can put together a functional table with some simple materials from a home improvement store?

Instructions

1

Lay the table top on the floor, upside down.

2

Turn the sawhorses upside down and position them on the underside of the table top. Use the tape measure to make sure they are equal distances from the outer edges of the tabletop, at least 1 foot in from each side.

3

Attach the sawhorses to the tabletop with the screws, screwing through the underside of the sawhorse and securing it to the bottom of the tabletop. Use three screws for each sawhorse, place one at each end and one in the middle of each sawhorse.

4

Turn the table right-side up and it is ready to use.
