Hello, friends!
I have planned this publication for a long time. Finally, I got there!
Anyone who loves to sew knows the importance of such a thing as sewing cutting table.
A special dream of a tailor “at home” is for the table to take up little space!
There are, of course, transformable tables on sale that fold up conveniently and compactly... But, as a rule, such furniture has:
- high price,
- it may not suit your interior at all
- and to be honest, I don’t really want to unfold and fold the table every time, especially if I need to sew/hem something quickly.
In the conditions of not very large areas of many apartments, a universal solution is needed.
I, like many of my colleagues who love sewing, have long been thinking about how to make a transforming cutting table for sewing.
There were many options - a folding table-cabinet, a table-cabinet, etc.
I forgot to say, even before creating the blog “!” I had an idea to make furniture with my own hands. I was lucky, though – my husband has “golden hands”.
We have such a division of labor - I come up with a thing (having previously persuaded my husband to come up with another idea), make a sketch, do the calculations, order cutting, search for accessories, and my husband brings and assembles everything.
Thus we have already created computer desk, hallway and kitchen area.
Oh, here’s another transforming cutting table.
We didn’t learn this right away, until we spoiled a single thing. Only once, the box was dropped, but fortunately they knew how to redo it. By the way, if you're interested, it all started with information on the Internet.
Then, I think in 2009 quality material there was very little on this topic, but I found this guy’s website and even bought a course from him (this was my first purchase online).
I got distracted... from the table.
So, thinking through the options, I settled on a functional and “light” one - the table should easily move apart, not clutter up the area, fit into the interior and be always “at hand”.
That is, if you suddenly had free time or suddenly wanted to sew/handicraft, you could do it right away.
My favorite makeover came to the rescue!
We had an old computer desk that we repurposed.
Here it is. (By the way, I also redid the chair in the photo - I painted it and reupholstered the seat...)
Unusual table legs on casters were used.
At first small drawing with dimensions:
Then the calculations, for those who are interested, I give the figures:
- Main table top – 1600mm x 580mm – 1 piece
- The second upper part of the table – 1600mm x 250mm – 1 piece
- Bottom of the table – 1600mm x 480mm – 1 piece
- Racks – 432 mm x 100 mm – 4 parts
- Lower support – 1400 mm x 200 mm – 1 piece
- Bottom of the drawer – 367 mm x 440 mm – 2 pieces.
- Back wall of the drawer – 367 mm x 60 mm – 2 children
- Facade – 393 mm x 96 mm – 2 parts.
Accessories:
- Piano hinge – 2 pcs.
- Gas play – 2 pcs.
- Magnets – 2 pcs.
- Rollers – 4 pcs.
- Guides for drawers – 2 pcs.
- Self-tapping screws - packaging
- Confirmats (special screws) - about 10, I think
- Corners – 10 pcs.
We sawed, made edges on the parts, bought fittings, took the parts and...
...We went on vacation, after which it turned out that we had not taken the small parts of the boxes - facades, walls, etc.
A month has already passed since sawing, and they haven’t started looking for parts.
We got out of the situation by making one big facade - the lid. It snaps on with magnets.
We started from the remaining material, so it turned out like this.
Of course, it would have been more beautiful with drawers, but I really wanted a table, and my husband had so little time to assemble it, that we did without them.
In general, it’s also convenient, the lid folds back and three compartments open at once.
I used leftover pizza boxes to store everything. I covered them with self-adhesive film, and they “fit” perfectly into the niches in size - again a rework!
Sometimes you don’t even need to open the lid to hide your spoolie or scissors.
IN assembled form the table rolls up under the window sill and looks out about 45 cm - compact.
When disassembled, due to the gas play and the system that the husband came up with from a chain, a hook and some two parts, the table extends up to 80 cm.
That is, I have a working surface of 160 cm by 80 cm - quite enough for cutting.
Legs and rollers painted suitable color spray paint.
By the way, the chair was also remade - from an old office chair. The backrest was removed, the leg was painted, the seat was upholstered and a suitable swivel and move chair was ready.
I keep the sewing machine and all sorts of handicrafts in the closet nearby. It seems to me that it’s more convenient than in a table or cabinet. Now I’m also planning to equip a closet so that everything is at hand. I'll do it and tell you.
This is how you can make a transforming cutting table with your own hands.
Take a closer look at your old things - maybe they can also be turned into something useful?
I wish you good luck, Elena Krasovskaya!

In the process of organizing a sewing workshop or atelier, a cutting table is needed. Moreover, you don’t have to buy it; you can make it yourself.
The cutting table is one of the main places of work in a cutting shop or simply in a sewing workshop.
That is why it is necessary for this design to be reliable and safe.
There are several basic requirements and each of them deserves separate consideration.
First of all, you need to decide on the sizes. The length of the cutting table cannot be less than five meters, height 80-90 cm and width 175 cm. The surface must be flat and smooth. If possible, it is better to make the cut table longer. Why is this necessary? The point is that what longer table, the less fabric will be used for sewing, since the cutting will be optimal in size. All this cannot but affect the cost.
Mind map: Cutting table On some sewing production For example, for sewing curtains, the length of the table is about 20 meters. Width should be at least 170 cm. If we are talking, for example, about a shop for sewing bags, then the width of the fabric there is 150 cm. After the flooring is made, there should be free place, where you can put the cutting knife. In height, the cutting table should be such that the cutter can easily reach 3/4 of its width.
Now, a few words about what they are made of Cutting tables. The most commonly used material is chipboard. There are several reasons for this. The first of these is the appropriate sheet width. The second is that it is very convenient to choose the length; 2 sheets will be enough for this. The base of the table can be made from metal corners. To make the table more stable, a frame is made from the same corners at the bottom. This way you will have an extra shelf to store your rolls and cut.
The chipboard sheet is laid on metal structure and is fastened with bolts, but there is a nuance here; after fastening, the bolts must be “recessed” so that they do not interfere with the cutting knife moving freely along the surface.
After assembly cutting table, it is necessary to cover it (and preferably twice) with a layer of drying oil; the shelf at the bottom of the table should also be drying oil. If desired, the table can be covered with plastic, but only with one sheet. An indispensable requirement for the surface of the cutting table is ideal smoothness. Otherwise, the panel joints will interfere with the cutting knife.
One more important point, when organizing a sewing workshop, a cutting ruler is used. At the initial stage, you don’t have to buy it; it’s enough to make two to hang the rolls metal racks. Two hooks (more are possible) are welded at different levels. The racks must be stable, since the weight of the roll can be about 30 kg.
Nowadays, sewing can be considered not only as the art of creating clothes, interior items and accessories, but also a way to turn a hobby into a business project. Custom-made items are more valuable than factory-stamped items. Of course, every craftswoman dreams of a perfectly organized workplace that will simplify the creative process and eliminate unnecessary inconvenience. A sewing table is a necessary attribute for sewing clothes, but is it worth spending money on buying a ready-made cabinet when you can make a table with your own hands?

Proceed to assembling the body of the cabinet: connect the tabletop, sides and support strips using self-tapping screws.
There are many desk options on the market designed specifically for tailors, but the cost of purchasing new furniture is not always worth the cost. And if sewing new clothes requires high level mastery and practical experience, then you don’t need to have any special talent to make a table for a sewing machine. If you know how to use a tape measure, a screwdriver and a jigsaw, this is a reason to think about making a sewing table with your own hands.
A sewing table is a necessary attribute for sewing clothes.
Many may have a question: why waste time making a sewing table with your own hands when you can just buy a ready-made one? If you carry out a simple calculation, it turns out that most of the cost of the product is the cost of someone else’s labor and the rental of retail space. The main advantage follows from this - saving the family budget. The costs will only go to materials and accessories, which is 3-4 times cheaper than buying a ready-made table. With the money you save, you can take creative training courses, which will be a profitable investment.

When installing the tabletop, make sure that the fastening is carried out exactly according to the marks corresponding to the drawing.
A sewing table created with your own hands becomes not just a unique thing, but also a reliable assistant in creative process. How much should this small bedside table fit: sewing supplies, thread sets different colors and thickness for each type of fabric, cutting devices, ribbons, appliqués and other accessories. In this case, the size, color, material, design of the tabletop and cabinet will be recreated at the request of the owner. Whether the table will be a strict workplace or a real art object is up to you to decide.

The modern market is overflowing with furniture made from chipboard, but not everyone is eager to use furniture made from sawdust. When making furniture with your own hands, you can choose environmentally clean materials. The price of the issue is also beyond doubt: the cost of furniture board made of pine will not exceed the cost of a finished table with a folding tabletop. Varnished wooden furniture does not emit toxic substances and fills the room with the subtle aroma of pine forest. Besides natural materials They are distinguished by durability, strength of fastenings and the possibility of restoration.

IN last resort attach doors and handles, insert assembled drawers.
When the material matters
The choice of material should be treated with special care: the practical and aesthetic properties of the finished product depend on this. IN comparative table Key characteristics of various materials are given.
| Name | Environmental properties | Moisture resistance | Durability |
| Chipboard | Releases formaldehyde as it contains petroleum products | low | In such materials, screws and nails tend to become loose, and fastenings gradually lose strength |
| Laminated chipboard | Does not emit harmful substances due to coating | ||
| MDF | Environmentally friendly | increased | |
| Plywood | Completely natural material | High when coated with polyurethane varnish | Retains the strength of fastenings when covered protective compounds do not rot, have a long service life |
| Solid wood |
Whether the table will be a strict workplace or a real art object is up to you to decide.
Thus, financial investment in furniture made from natural wood and plywood is suitable for a person who focuses on safety, environmental friendliness and durability of furniture. Investments in natural material are always justified: such a sewing table will delight its owner with the beauty of its natural texture and smell, durability and will last for generations. If the expense item does not involve high costs, then from budget options you can choose laminated chipboard or MDF, they are more advanced and safer materials.
The modern market is overflowing with furniture made from chipboard, but not everyone is eager to use furniture made from sawdust.
The reliability of furniture assembly is determined by high-quality fittings. For a simple folding table with drawers, a shelf for a sewing machine and additional compartments you will need: butterfly hinges, self-tapping screws, ball guides, fastenings for the base, legs with the ability to adjust the height, handles if there are doors or for the convenience of folding out the tabletop. The latter can be made in a certain style and perform a decorative function.
In addition, natural materials are characterized by durability, strength of fastenings and the possibility of restoration.
Armed with instructions, tools and good mood, you can independently assemble a table that meets all the requirements of a sewing master.
Step-by-step instruction
Before you start, you need to make sure you have the following tools:
- screwdriver;
- hammer;
- pliers;
- jigsaw;
- Screwdriver Set;
- sandpaper;
- polyurethane varnish for wood;
- brush or roller;
- edge tape (for chipboard, MDF);
- building level;
- construction pencil.
Investments in natural materials are always worthwhile.
Step 1. At the first stage, you need to select a drawing of a cabinet for a sewing machine and cut out all the parts on paper indicating the dimensions. With the finished drawing you should go to the store building materials. For the manufacture of folding table with drawers, one sheet of chipboard, MDF or plywood will be enough.
The reliability of furniture assembly is determined by high-quality fittings.
Step 2. Then you need to mark the parts on the board with a construction pencil, taking into account the edges, and cut them out using a jigsaw; mark and make holes for fastenings. If used natural wood, the surface of the parts must be sanded. Chipboard and MDF pasted over edge tape. In order not to cut out the parts yourself, you can order cutting and edging according to the drawing and immediately proceed to the assembly stage.
The latter can be made in a certain style and perform a decorative function.
Step 3. Start assembling the body of the cabinet: connect the tabletop, sides and support strips using self-tapping screws. Attach the back wall using a hammer and nails, making sure that the edges of the wall do not protrude from the sides. Using self-tapping screws, attach the legs to the cabinet and check the result building level. If there are deviations from the horizon, correct them. When installing the tabletop, make sure that the fastening is carried out exactly according to the marks corresponding to the drawing.
At the first stage, you need to select a drawing of a cabinet for a sewing machine and cut out all the parts on paper indicating the dimensions.
Step 4. Varnish the finished product and components. You should take special care when cleaning the countertop, as it will become your main work surface. If the varnish coating will be done in several layers, it is necessary to allow time between applications. The varnish will dry completely after 36 hours.
To make a folding table with drawers, one sheet of chipboard, MDF or plywood will be enough.
Step 5. Assemble the drawers. After varnishing, attach the ball guides. Check that the boxes fit smoothly into the fastenings by placing a building level on the bottom of the box.
If natural wood is used, the surface of the parts must be sanded. Cover chipboard and MDF with edge tape.
Step 6. Lastly, attach the doors and handles, and insert the assembled drawers.

1. The cutting table can be made to order
The easiest way to get a professional and convenient cutting table is to buy it at a sewing equipment store or order it from a small furniture company. When choosing this option, select a table so that, in addition to a large tabletop, it has several compartments for lower shelves. There are never any extra shelves in the studio, and not using such space in the rented premises is simply wasteful.
When it comes to the size of the table, the most important thing is its width. It must be at least 150cm, matching the width of the fabric. The longer the length of the table, the better, but within reasonable limits and taking into account the size of the room. The height of all tables is standard, approximately 75-80 cm.

You can buy not laminated chipboard, a sheet of such material is quite inexpensive, and its size is 150 by 250 cm. Quite enough for a good cutting table. Then work surface putty well and cover with self-adhesive light film.
