I recently got a cutting table. “Got” isn’t exactly the right word. Commandeered is more like it. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

It isn’t new; I re-purposed a microwave cart we have had for years and turned it into a cutting table. I re-purposed it, because DH made it and I can’t bear to give it away. Besides, it is the perfect height for me to cut. Also, my 18″ mat fits very well on it.<\/p>\n

It had just been sitting around downstairs gathering odds and ends that don’t otherwise have a home.<\/p>\n

One of the things that works for me about this cutting table is that it fits really well into the fabric closet. Sadly we don’t have a large house, so there are times when my workroom becomes a guest room and people sleep there. A cutting table in the middle of the room doesn’t work well in that scenario. I roll the cart into the closet and the guest room is reborn. Vacuuming is easier, too.<\/p>\n

I used the opportunity of setting up the cutting table to clear out the fabric closet. The bottom shelves of the cutting table look like a bit of a mess, but it is relatively organized compared to what it was and that stuff is not on the floor of the closet anymore.<\/p>\n

I put all the patterns in a box I wasn’t using for anything else and there is another box full of orphan blocks, tests and partially pieced things that are “simmering.”<\/p>\n

The top is almost twice again as large as my former cutting table. TFQ and I were cutting together on the same surface so it is quite large enough. At the moment, it is covered with the accoutrement of various things I have going on.<\/p>\n

I have to figure out some way to attach the bag in which I toss schnibbles to the side of the cutting table. It will come.<\/p>\n

Having this cutting table means that my space isn’t so open, but I love having a much bigger space to cut, and some more shelves for storage.<\/p>\n
