How to Make a Folding Sewing Table

Making a folding sewing table, with a large smooth working surface, that can be collapsed and stored easily when you're through sewing, helps you convert your sewing room into a guest room in minutes. This homemade sewing table has a durable surface that is smooth to protect your sewing projects from damage and grunge, and a metal frame that collapses to a slim profile that can be hidden away under a bed with ease. You can make your own folding sewing table for the cost of the table top, legs and a few other inexpensive items.
