My DIY sewing machine table

Ever since me and my boyfriend got our very own apartment and me a WHOLE room for my sewing, I've been dreaming of sewing machine table where the machine is lowered inside the table.

When I placed the order for my new Janome 1600P-QC, I knew I needed a new work desk that's sturdier. And thus the search for new table started.

After many days of visiting each and every used furniture shop in my town, I finally found a used oak dining table with and extension flap already hacked to it. WIN!

After I had my table I needed to explain to my boyfriend how to hack the table. Of course I knew he wouldn't get me and my over the top dramatic explanations, so I hit the web to dig up some examples.

It is finally here - My new Janome 1600P-QC

It was last Thursday when I finally got the long awaited call from the courier - my brand new sewing machine was here in my home town and was ready to come home to me.

My face broke into a grin when my boyfriend set the box on the floor in the middle of my living room, nor could I stop myself from doing a happy dance. I honestly can't remember the last time I was so excited and happy about something. 

After un-boxing it and letting my new sewing machine warm up a bit it was time to plug it in and try it out.
