Hot Chicks with Power Tools

See this beauty? This is Ana White's Sewing Table for Small Spaces. Ana White's website is AWSOME. If you've never visited it, you really should. She has tons of projects and provides plans for each which include shopping lists, cut lists and step by step instructions (with photos!).



All folded up, this baby will fit snugly under the breakfast bar (which we don't use as such) in the main room of our condo.



My friend Sara (check out her blog here), a woman who has no fear of a jig saw and has built two toddler beds single handedly, has agreed to help me build this.  Now this table isn't meant to actually be sewn on, but if you reinforce the fold out legs and tabletop, you can plop your sewing machine down and be off to the races. Sara assures me that we can figure out how to make this happen.

I am so excited! My own sewing table. It will almost be like having a sewing room! Okay, no it won't, but it's still a dedicated piece of sewing furniture!  We are going to build in on February 8. I promise to talk lots of pictures of our process to share with you. SQUEEEEE!

P.S. The photos above are courtesy of Ana White's website.
