Sewing Furniture 101

If you have multiple projects you are working on at once, pieces of the same project spread out all over your sewing room, or if you are always running out to your dining room table to spread out that large piece of fabric to cut just right, you should consider getting yourself a designated cutting table for your sewing room.

When we think of sewing and crafting furniture, a few things come to mind. At the top of our list are comfort and organization. We want to give you the convenience of storage and a dedicated work area without cramming for space. Don’t let apartment living keep you from the sewing projects you love. There isn’t any reason why a lack of space can hold you back from the things that make you happy.

Embarking on the quest for the perfect ergonomic sewing chair is like searching for the needle in a haystack – or perhaps, the ‘needle’ in your sewing supplies! It’s an exciting journey where comfort and functionality take center stage, and the right chair becomes your crafting companion for countless stitches.

One of the most important questions you will need to ask yourself while searching for your perfect sewing cabinet is if your sewing machine will fit. When measuring your sewing machine, you need to include any knobs, buttons, or cords that stick out of your sewing machine.

Our Gidget Sewing Tables are two of our most popular items. We offer two versions of these self-contained, fully collapsible workstations – the Gidget I Sewing Table and the Gidget II Sewing Table.

Most of us learned to sew with the sewing machine sitting on top of something, like a table or desk. We would have our wrists on the table with our fingers on top of the machine, which puts our hands, wrists, and fingers at uncomfortable angles. This may seem fine while working on a quick project, but after hours sitting at your sewing machine, you will start to feel pain in your hands and wrists. 

We all have those visions of what our dream sewing room would look like. That vision might include large work areas, perfectly organized storage, or someplace to hide your sewing machine without actually having to put it away.
