I think it was around $100. We put wheels on it to make it easy to move in and out of the corner I store it in.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632943287527470666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205050394461273320.post-32760115445166415412012-04-17T15:52:01.615-04:002012-04-17T15:52:01.615-04:00Sometimes the starting is the hardest part of sewi...Sometimes the starting is the hardest part of sewing. I love the potential of a new project and sometimes I want to put off starting it. It may not work as well as I thought. Also, I think Shelley is right, you need to get all those distractions taken care of before you start in on your project. I am currently making a tailored jacket and have totally ignored cleaning. I am torn between spending time on the jacket and doing the things I should be doing to keep my life in some type of order.VictoriaRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205050394461273320.post-66984237409282981392012-04-17T15:05:49.491-04:002012-04-17T15:05:49.491-04:00Sometimes I just sit and stitch seams on scrap fab...Sometimes I just sit and stitch seams on scrap fabric, just to experience the fun of sewing. Doing it for a few minutes may warm you up to sewing.

With all the tidying and cleaning, you've let in the space for creativity to flow. --- even cleaning and oiling the machine is part of the process!Shelleyhttp://www.shelleysgardenblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205050394461273320.post-6122004113480442522012-04-17T14:12:06.488-04:002012-04-17T14:12:06.488-04:00Get yourself a lauan door.

Get some batting by the yard wider and longer than top of door (maybe an old blanket) and staple around door nice and tight(hubby will need to help) cover again with white sheeting and staple nice and tight. Now you have a sewing/cutting/pressing table for all your needs. Set up on two sawhorses and you are good to go. You don't need to make a folding table. (I set mine up on two inexpensive cabinets that are 34" high- perfect height for me...and I store all my supplies in cabinets underneath table. I've moved it several times-very light weight.)
