CREATING THE PERFECT ENABLER:
LESSON TWO
THE IDEAL SEWING TABLE
I had been struggling for
weeks trying to decide what would be the perfect Easter present for my
wonderful, adorable, handsome husband. After many anguished hours of pondering
what would be the perfect gift for my hubby, I finally figured out what he needed
most- a new sewing table!
Now this won’t be your
average run-of-the-mill, everyday, common, semi-functional sewing table. It
will have everything that a quilter my husband would want in a sewing table.
There will be a place for my his sewing machine(s), an attached cutting table with
inlaid cutting mats, and a fold out ironing board with iron holder, multiple
drawers for sewing gizmos and gadgets, various racks for things like threads and wine, small
refrigerator/freezer, microwave, keg cooler with tapper - everything a perfect
sewing table would have.
The ideal sewing table will have a designated Creative Area where a quilter can sit in solitude and work on new designs and patterns and color combinations:
The ideal sewing table will have a small Inspiration Area where a quilter can sit and get inspired and come up with creative new ideas:
My husband was ecstatic as he
unwrapped his Easter present(s)! Skill saw, drill, router, electric
screwdriver, jig saw, sander, - all cordless. The kids joined in, gifting him
assorted tools and a nice selection of lumber. He loved his Easter card,
which also included the carefully drawn plans for his new sewing table!
Lumber from the kids:
From the sketch on that back of a bar napkin to professional blueprints:
Though it was not quite what I had in mind, I love my new sewing table because it was crafted with love by my wonderful, adorable, handsome but not too terribly handy husband!
We both agreed that it was
his best Easter ever!
Happy Sewing!
