Well, it’s not quite born all the way… but it’s closer today than it was yesterday. (I’d say it’s about 3cm along.) :o) I’m SO excited!! My hubby said this morning we were going to at least get the wood cut…and we DID!!
The wood I bought for the new sewing table was my big splurge in my sewing room…(someone else paid for my flooring). I decided to go with furniture grade, 1″ thick 4′ x 8′ wood. It’s REALLY nice…and set me back $50. There was NO room for mistakes on it…so we prayed before we turned on the saw!! :o)
This was my rough draft of the size I wanted it to be… I decided to make it 5″ longer on the right side… allowing me a little more wiggle room for sliding back and forth between machines and more space between my machines on top…
I cleared off my sewing machines, just leaving that black table as a base and set my old wood sewing table top on it. Then my hubby said, “do your stuff with a template.” I went upstairs and got some cardboard and used tape to make the table top the shape I wanted. (In case you are new here, my room has very crooked walls so this is a “custom” fit table to my walls…)
I had my hubby double check my work and he agreed that it looked right to him. We moved the old sewing table top with the cardboard pieces taped to it to the garage and laid it on top of the new wood, matching up the one long side that I wanted to go snugly against the wall behind my machines.
We did some more measuring and double checking and then the cutting began…
…and a few more cuts…
I could hardly wait to bring it inside and lay it on top of the table and my drawers…
I’m already in love with it, and it’s just a slab of wood so far… but isn’t it going to be wonderful? Look at how it fits against the wall now…
Here’s the way it USED to be… Quite a difference, isn’t there?
It needed to be just a bit wider than the 4′ to give me enough room to sit at the machine that faces out the window… so we had to add a little extension of about 6″ on the left side… My hubby gave me that job of making another template to get it “just right!” I drew it up and it looked like this… if it looks like it’s not square…it’s not…remember those crooked walls.
It looked like this laid beside the wood…
…and looked like this cut OUT of the wood…
…and looked like this from a distance…It looks crooked under my window because it’s setting up on the black table which is higher than it will be when it’s on the drawers…
Oh be still my heart!!!
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
