Love the table idea, very inventive. You've organized ur space very very well. I only have a very small space for sewing, I'm full of ideas now looking at ur flat. I think ur flat is lovely, everything at hand. Oh, love ur vlogs too! You are REAL. Thankyou.
Great Space! Cover it with a large butcher block and keep it in the kitchen for an island in between cuttings.A nice painting over your couch would be lovely.
Great details!! Gorgeous kitty! Love how you have made a small space so wonderful for your sewing! I am in the process of making a space in my kitchen for my sewing right now :)
Brilliant! We have that as our dining table - a friend who was moving house gave it to us. The drawers don’t really get used for much except table mats and coasters - I think they are really made for sewing accoutrements. I want to commandeer it and copy what you have done here, ha! 👏🏻 x
Great job. Such a clever idea and done on a great budget too, my kinda thing, and your VERY handy with that drill too. I've just had to replace mine with the battery pack. None of sons, their Father, Family or friends are admitting to borrowing it, my name will be melted into casing with my crafting tool... You mentioned your slightly untidy space. It's definitely not. I currently work using my dining table in a small living room, I'm working towards snaffling a part of my Sun Lounge, the only place people can actually sit without falling over sewing accoutrements. It's large enough for me to commandeer a bit, to do that I'll have to go up for storage, then get a table like yours to utilise my space well, read that as confine it as best I can to as small an area as possible! Just in case anyone is buying A1 cutting boards. A few years ago I bought mine off a site on eBay who sold stuff for male /females using them for industrial type uses. There have the same qualities seamstresses require but are way cheaper. In fact, I see some craft sites are selling them. Amtech and Hillington or Hillingdon, apologies, are the makes. I panicked when the arrived rolled up, went to bed thinking I'd just wasted £12. Next morning they were totally flat. My grandson of 2 hasn't managed to annhialate them, trust me, he's a rough boyo, though I'm working on him even though he and his Sister are only here 1/2 days a week. His beautific smile helps!! It's like everything else on eBay, research, I did find 3 sites selling them for 12.99 each, not a bad price increase considering mine are at least 6yrs old. Questions questions, can I ask which heat wrap you use. I've SLE inc other issues caused by it, like you, my neck, shoulders, back are a pain. Apologies for the pathetic pun.
I bought the hillington ones! I think I might have made an error below - they were £26 for both so around the price you mention. I’ll update the info. There are definitely a wide range of prices for stuff like this. My heat wraps are Thermocare, they’re expensive but work. I have them on subscription from Amazon, which brings down the cost a bit. I have a plug in neck heater (we call it the Cape of Good Hope 😃) for when I’m sitting on the couch but these are great for when you need to be unplugged!
Well done! I might have missed it in the comments: your using mending plates, instead of gluing the blocks to the table's legs, allows you to use different-sized blocks, if you wish to change the height.
Thanks! After this vlog was filmed I actually switched those castors for some with corner brackets, I still used mending plates to reinforce but the whole thing is much sturdier. I use it every day - it has saved my back!
Thank u for this !!! I’m considering buying it and found the height crazy low for a cutting table (which is weird because so many people use it for sewing??) I have an ikea desk that low for my machines atm and even for that I find it too low of a height! I’m curious about the other giant table you have in the back as I thought it was your cutting table at the beginning tho haha
How sturdy is the table when extended? I’m thinking about buying on for my dining table which also will be my sewing (and cutting) table . Not all Americans have big rooms🙂 Is it sturdy enough and steady enough to hold a heavy machine and the vibrating from it? Thanks !
Americans have big rooms , I know London people have to live like Japanese as space is an issue. My daughter owns half a house in London Streatham and she’s selling to buy a 4 bedroom in Yorkshire xxx

Susan Woods Thank you so much! The best compliment :-D
You are amazing! Your friend is wonderful to help as well! Good job. Looking forward to meeting your new machine.
Thanks Karen! He's an absolute gem isn't he. He's also my carer and general excellent egg :)
Great Space! Cover it with a large butcher block and keep it in the kitchen for an island in between cuttings.A nice painting over your couch would be lovely.
I must have missed the part where she asked for decoration advice.
What a great idea, I could def do with something like that. Room is so tight in my flat!! Will have a look for folding tables! Thanks for sharing x
I know I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?
@Luke Alaric flixportal :D
@Chaim Terrance Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it!
@Luke Alaric No problem :)
Great job Jay - your sewing space is so well organised ❤️
Great solution for a moveable cutting table. Thanks for showing!
What a good idea, to raise a folding table. Custom made ones are just far too expensive to even think about buying.
Great details!! Gorgeous kitty! Love how you have made a small space so wonderful for your sewing! I am in the process of making a space in my kitchen for my sewing right now :)
Stitching Deb oooh I’d love to see how it turns out! I’ll keep my eye on your insta 😘
Stitching Deb PS Betsey says Mew 😻
It looks very cosy and. At the end of the day if you, Ian and your furry friend are fine with it that’s all that matters 🐶
Great video Jay!
hales moore Thanks Hales! 😀😀😀
Great idea. You have really used your space very well.
Thanks for making this video. I'm thinking about getting a folding table like this and I definitely like how you made it taller.
Glad it was helpful! Best thing I did!
Just watched one of your videos for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it, love good ideas coming together. Looking forward to your future videos.
Christine Martin Thank you Christine!
Love your vision and capability! You are a strong woman in your spirit! Yea!!! :)

Oh Liverpool Lou! Do it!!! Ps we call it Wongle Accoutrement 😂😂😂
The Camden Stitch 🤣 les accoutrements pour faire de la wongler
@@OhLiverpoolLou Hahahaahahahaha!!!!!!!
The Camden Stitch 😂😂😂♥️
Well done you did a good job 👍🏾 looks good 👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾
Thank you so much 🤗
Brilliant idea! I'm a fellow knackered back person and cutting on our dining table kills my back.
They don’t look great but you can buy those elephant feet risers. But it’s tricky if you actually use your table to eat at too.
Great job raising it. You mentioned you ironing surface. Maybe add a fold down ironing board to the cutting table.

I like that table that was already there that you can elevate [ w the dowels] I want that one! Is it a drafting table or something? thanks!

Love it brilliant cutting table have you made the sirochoo jumpsuit ? Did you think a real beginner could try it ? Lin
