Build Your Own Sewing Table – About: Hi, I’m Sam. I got an old sewing machine when I was little, cleaned it up and learned to use it. . and has been doing things ever since. I like to learn new skills so I can do whatever I want. More About sewing »
The large work size is great for cutting and pinning fabric, and it provides a large feed area to help make large or bulky sewing projects easier. a. The table is stable and relatively heavy, so there is no shaking or shaking while sewing. There are also built in drawers to store essentials or sewing on the other side, or doing prep work on the other side.
Build Your Own Sewing Table
If you want to do something like that, hopefully there are many ideas here to help you. The techniques I show here can be used to create a table of whatever size you need, whether for sewing or something else.
Design Your Own Cutting Table
If you have an existing table that you want to attach your sewing machine to, Steps 4, 5, and 6 should give you some think about how you can achieve that. Hope you learn something useful here. Thanks for looking!
The structure is the skirt of the table, and it is the key that holds everything together. The top of the table is drilled from the bottom, and the legs are fixed on its corners.
The top of the table and the frame of the skirt are made from 3/4″ pine plywood. (This is not usually my first choice, but it is left over from another project.) It can then you can use any plywood that is smooth and without stains, but if you can afford it I recommend furniture grade birch.
To build the skirt structure, I started by cutting six 5″ by 48″ pieces of plywood. Four of these were trimmed to 38 1/2″ to serve as the outer edge of the skirt. The four corner straps were 5″ long and both ends pointed to 45 degree. They were attached and temporarily attached with nail studs 1 1/2″ from the ends of each section.
Diy Cutting Table Ideas For Your Sewing Studio
The two remaining pieces of plywood were trimmed to fit and attached to the frame of the skirt with glue and pocket fasteners to add support for the table top and boxes.
The drag added a lot of complexity to the project, and I insisted on just leaving it alone. If I did, I would have kept the cross pieces in the skirt structure to prevent the table top from dipping or sliding in the middle over time.
The boxes were made from pine and 1/4″ plywood bottom. These were equipped with various transitions and support parts to add to the structure of the skirt so that everything fits well and works together. a nice feature a lot.
For the legs I bought 8-foot pegs, 4″ by 4″. From the best pieces of these I cut four 31 1/4″ pieces to make table legs.
Diy Large Craft Table
To attach these to the structure of the skirt, you must first cut a 45 degree angle from the top of each leg. I did this using a band saw and a construction jig to hold the pieces at right angles.
For screws that attach to table leg tops, you can buy special table leg screws that have screw threads that go through one half. You drill a hole where you want the rod to stick out, and with a nut attached to the side of the rod as far as to go, you drill the lag part down into the wood and then remove the nut. This is one option, but these nice skins are a bit too expensive in my opinion.
I went a different way, and just drilled a standard 4-inch tire through the holes drilled from the outer sides of each leg, and then attached the holes to a larger template. This is a great example, but I like how it turned out and will be doing it again for table legs in the future.
The top of the table is a 48″ square piece of plywood. I used a router to go around the top, and filled in any gaps or gaps with wood.
Singer Sewing Table Makeover
Most of what you need next depends on the device you have. However, the goal is the same. You want to get the sewing edge of your machine close to the top of the table (a little up is good, down isn’t), and it’s easy then space to replace the tire and do maintenance if needed.
For me, I’m going to use old flat sewing machines on this table. There is a large bed. After carefully measuring and marking, I cut an opening six inches back from the front, and four inches from the side. I used a forstner bit to cut the corners neatly, and a chisel to cut off the rest.
I used a router to put the top of the slot in a very small round to remove the sharp point.
I had pins from an old sewing box that I attached to the table top. Along with these I installed adjustable supports at the front of the opening. See image details for details.
Sew Happy Sewing Room Tour
I built this small table below the space to represent the installation if needed at some point. (It’s attached to its support brackets in this photo, but the finished table isn’t. It’s easy to slide in and out of the bottom.)
I actually keep it to catch any oil spills, so that serves the purpose for now even if I don’t use it to support an actual machine.
I just wanted to point this out because a little bit like this is probably the easiest install for most people.
The legs, drawers, and table top all received two coats of polyurethane with a clean 220 grit sandpaper after each coat was dry. Then paint the top of the table with furniture towels to make it nice and smooth.
Narrow Sewing Table
Pocket holes are then drilled into the skirt structure to secure the top of the table.
The legs of the table are then fixed in place, and the table is turned over and the drawers are attached. I added some small rollers made from pig back glue to the inside of the box shape.
The wood I used for the legs was a little green and wet when I built this, and it continues to shrink and improve when the table is inside. For the first few weeks I had to tighten the screws to stop the table from shaking. It was a bit confusing at first until I realized what was going on…
To keep dust out of the machine when not in use I cover it with the top of an old sewing box. A straight edge was hung on a nail on one of the table legs since it was too big to put in the drawers, and some shelves nearby had other items. embroidery and crafts. Come See Sewing Kate!

An Affordable Custom Sewing Machine Table — Uniquely Michelle
The Original ScrapBox recently changed their name to Create Room and sent me the Sew Station sewing cabinet to review! The Sew Station is a free standing sewing desk that can also be attached to the DreamBox for the ultimate sewing table!
Here is my review of the Create Room Sew Station with more information about the sewing table, storage and work table.
I sewed on a desk like the Sew Station in college with a sewing machine holder and storage for supplies.
Every time I sew at the Sew Station I feel ready to sew. It’s a clean space and everything is at hand. I have always loved my DreamBox, but the addition of the Sew Station is amazing!! Both parts are functional on their own, but together they are the best solution to store artwork!
How To Make Your Own Sewing Table With Sewing Cabinets
A shelf connected to an electric motor that moves up and down with a button under the table.
Storing your device helps protect it from dust and is the safest thing to do if you have children or pets who might get inside.
Create Room also sends a custom piece of paper that goes under your machine so that the top is completely flat when you use the machine. It’s beautiful!
When you are not sewing, you can put the machine down and then change the table to open the insert table inside the table for extra space.
Folding Sewing Table
I like to keep an entire work in progress in a tote so I can pull it out when needed.
The threaded fasteners on the side are in a pull-out drawer. There is room for 96 threads!
