I decided to replace one of my sewing desks. I have a couple of machines and a serger. Each machine sat on or in a desk and I had my serger on a micro wave cart. My back was killing me, sewing with one machine ...the desk is just too high for me..If I raise my chair, I have to raise my foot pedal...then my thighs bump the apron on the desk. I have cut out parts of my desk to help fit the machines.(machines are getting bigger). So, I went out to Ikea and bought a table top and adjustable legs....set it up, set the leg height for me...... Then I sewed all evening long...What a difference...my back wasn't sore at all. I kept turning and looking at my other desk....next day, I went out to Ikea and bought another longer, top and adjustable legs..I have soooo much more room to sew. Both desks and the cart are gone..not "making do" any more! I now have an 'L' shaped sewing area. I can move smoothly from one machine to the other. I even have enough room for a cutting area, but I am
only using it as a sewing area. It should be great for quilting!
Now I really have to clean up my sewing room...I have fabric and patterns pulled out , sewing doll clothes...stuff around working on the FWSQ..a wall hanging that I NEED to finish.
I lost a couple of drawers and shelves in the desks..that stuff has to find a new home.. .I have to re-arrange a whole lotta stuff . I have things that I have been saving for decades...small fabric scraps..samples of upholstery fabric... ties that I was going to use for quilting.....must go ..must go..must go!
I will be busy for a while!
