- I am working on a big project that will be coming out this year, and part of that project needs to be quilted(wink wink).
So to make my life easier I made a table extension for my sewing machine!
The process only took a few days to complete and was less than $30 in wood (thank you free bin at the hardware store).
Materials:
1 - 3/4 x 16" x 36" solid spruce project board
1 - 1 1/4" dowel (each leg was cut at 2 5/8")
5 - 1 1/2" wood screws
Clear Semi-Gloss Varnish
ALL THE SANDPAPER (80gt, 100gt 150gt 220gt & 400gt)
Tools:
Makita Jig saw - amzn.to/3NG3PYb
Needlelace Pillow and Stand video - • Making a Needlelace Pi...

My husband took one look and said, "Now I suppose you want one just like it." (He heard you say you were sanding and wondered why someone who usually sews would need to sand, so I showed him.)
Actually, I would like one! It's beautiful 🥰❤️🥰
But you can make it yourself? Let your DH get on with his own stuff. ;-)
Love it, u did a great job.
Beautifully done. Once the varnish has truly cured through, you can wax it with car wax just like you would wax your car, and the fabric wil just slide ever so smoothly in all directions.
Thanks for the tip!
Even a sprinkle with talcum powder works wonders and won't stain fabric.
I would pay you for one fitting my sewing machine. Its metal, model from the 70's but I use it daily, its my working horse. Now I have started adventures with patchwork ..A table like that would help a lot....Thanks for sharing.
I am into quilting, an in dire need of this kind of table. I have a 1120 singer, an older model and no table is made forr it. Custom tables are too expensive. So I thought, I'll make one and researched. Found you video and it was very helpful!!😊
Thank you for showing all of the steps. So many videos skip steps or just verbally explain it and it leaves a void in my brain. Your process is how my mind works. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You're very welcome! 😊
I'm returning to quilting at 70. I too have been looking for an extension table. Since I also used to do my own carpentry, you have given me to incentive to make my own (and a pattern).. You did a great job with very few "misstep". It really looks professionally done. Please let us know how it works.
For those who do not do woodworking you could also use foam board. You can make card board legs out of card board folded into squares & hot glued to the bottom. Cover it all with contact paper to make it slippery. Most foam board is 20x30 and only a $1 at the Dollar Store. Don't worry if you screw it up, you are not out much! It you get it right the first time. It might cost you about $2 for foam board & contact paper. I suggest making a template from cardboard or poster board first to get it so it fits nicely then use it for the pattern to cut the foam board. You can double the foam board & legs if you need it more heavy duty.
This brilliant!! You are so clever! My husband made me one today after watching your video. I love it and thank you for showing us how to made it! You’re a superstar!! 🤩👍
Atta gurl!!! Great to see a lady empower herself. Great job!
Not just an extension table but a beautiful piece of furniture! I think the light wood is best to be able to see your projects as you work on them. Oooooh quilting, can't wait!
Girl, I am super impressed! The extension you made is much larger than the one I spent big bucks for, and I’ve been wanting a larger extension. I don’t have any experience with a saw, but I’ll practice on some scrap wood until I feel comfortable
I was more lazy than her. I bought a cheap bed folding table from the supermarket. The ones you use for breakfast in bed, It was only 5 bucks - a sturdy wood plate with foldable plastic feet. I used a hand saw to shorten the feet and cut out the hole to slide my machine in. Took me about one hour and then off I went quilting.....
😁
I made one for my machine from cardboard & Paper Mache. The only cost involved was the glue & sandpaper which amounted to a few dollars. It's as sturdy as one made from wood.. and no power tools! I even painted it with flowers & doodles then coated it with a glossy varnish. I already had the paint & varnish from other projects.
I made one from Styrofoam and glue. My brother used Styrofoam and glue when he made a decorated arch for a room for his wife. When she wanted to change the look again it took a small sledge hammer to break it to take down. Yes it is amazing how strong cardboard & paper mache can be if done properly.
@@alissagonzales735 please do a video on how to do that
please do a video on how to do that
Zoe Emiko: an instructional video would be great. What did you use as the base or frame for paper mache to attach to, please? You have my interest!
@@alissagonzales735 I am not sure I undetstand the glue, do you mean you glued on the legs, or was glue used over the styrofoam? At any rate, what an interesting idea. I know that Styrofoam structures for trim, crown molding and other usual wood items can be purchased. So why not make a table. Plesse post a video, I would enjoy watching you make one.
That is some impressive woodworking for a seamstress!
Great job! Now it's time to make drawers for it, OR, just use utensil or desk drawer dividers to slide underneath. It's a great place to store those often used items we always need close at hand.
И шьет
И сверлит
И лобзиком рулит
Респект однозначно.
И коня на скаку остановит :))
WOW! I never would have thought to do this. It looks great, I'm most impressed.
The result is simply amazing. I can see you already have some Woodwork knowledge because of your father. You empower me to make one. Thanks
This was great! As someone who recently (pandemic times) began sewing and woodworking, this is a keeper. Yours is just beautiful. You did a wonderful job on those rounded corners.
Браво! Мастер золотые ручки! Не только шьёт, но и мастер по дереву!
Спасибо за идею!
Мечтала купить такой столик от производителя, но очень дорого и он размером меньше на много.
Теперь я сделаю сама такой же, как у Вас.
Хорошее изделие!
A big thank you from France, finally I will be able to extend my sewing machine to the size I want (still too small for my convenience)..great video!!..
Love it, and so timely, I just got a new sewing machine and the extension table is a ridiculous price for a piece of plastic. I will just have to get the tools out. At least you know it isn't going shatter or snap like plastic and it's more environmentally friendly. Thanks for the inspiration. 👏👏👏
The one I was looking at was $200 plus shipping it to Canada and import fees would have brought it over $300 😳😳😳
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes Yowza!
Great job on the project!
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes I've made several extension tables for various machines, but used plexiglass. It's easy to cut with a jigsaw and comes with a removable paper protection layer, so you just draw your pattern on the paper and once completed just peel the paper off and doesn't need painting, only a quick sand on cut edges to remove burrs and protect fabric from snagging.
Hint...sometimes plexiglass gets scratched at the hardware store and they sell it much cheaper. Small scratches will polish out with toothpaste but I don't usually bother because pins etc soon scratch it when sewing. You did a great job on your Spruce table and should be pleased with the results.

Great idea, we have some old plexy up in our barn, especially with high priced wood now…..smooth MDF wood would probably work also…
I really like this extension. My husband will have to help me. I am not as brave with a saw as you. Thank you for sharing your video.
I am totally captivated with your beautiful sewing table extension. Maybe I will create one for my Featherweight, and another for my Pfaff someday. Thank you for inspiring me to consider making something so beautiful and so useful.
Hola! Comencé a ver el video pero apenas te escuché decir que ibas a hacerla tú misma, ME GUSTÓ! Y antes de seguir pulsé el pulgar arriba. Te feliicito!
😂 You had my attention at unsupervised. That's when I do my best work!!
Wow! The extension table is absolutely beautiful!! You did an absolutely amazing job!! 👏
I can't afford a store bought extension table, but now, because of you, I will be able to save up and make my own!😁👏
Thank you!
That’s brilliant!! It’s looks so lovely.
When my husband used to travel for work he never knew what he would come home to. Once he came home to find I had ripped out the lower cabinets and built my own. He didn’t like the design but then did the job for years until he redid it all with proper cabinets! Then there were the animals lol. He got home once to discover a large cat had taken up residence. I asked the kids and a few friends we all thought it was a wonderful idea. Still miss that cat. Another time he came home to no wall between the kitchen and dining room and subfloor in the dining room. We were taking too long to agree on new floors and the dining room had an off white carpet! Our kids were were 5, 7 and 9 subfloor was much easier to keep up! He doesn’t travel much anymore and he’s ignoring the fact I’m ripping up the upstairs hallway to redo the floors. Then I think I will take the carpet off the stairs paint them and get a nice runner. Grandson still runs up and down so we need something for grip! I think I will have to and a table top for a couple of machines to my list!
Too funny! That’s what happens when you leave “them thar women folk” alone too long! 😂🤣😂
A woman after my own heart! We built our own house some years ago and then 5 yrs ago I renovated the current house which had been trashed by a previous disgruntled tenant. Just because we are female doesn't mean we are not capable and/or totally useless. I've seen some men who wouldn't know which end of a hammer to use! ;-))
That turned out wonderful!!!!
Ingenious!! I wouldn’t have thought of that in a million years LOL
Wow, I absolutely love this sewing desk
Oh, that is impressive. Well done. Thank you for sharing.
Such a clever idea and so well done!
Absolutely awesome job!
Great job! Thank you, I am SO adding this to my list, right under the wall rack for all my quilting rulers and mats!
Never would have thought of this. Great work!☺️
Wow! Turned out great. Looks like it fits perfectly too.
Luckily my own Janome had a quilting table extension coming with it, because I hate sanding with the heat of a thousand melting suns. But you did a wonderful job!!
Excellent! And, oh so beautiful... Thank You for sharing!
Congratulations! Great job!!
Lucky me found the acrylic extension table for my sewing machine second hand for 50 €. Never used, with the blue plastic sticking to it, an additional straight stitching plate and a quarter inch foot. The store price is around 200 €. Love it and sew seldom without it. If I hadn’t it already I would follow your instructions.
Soooo lucky!!!!! You can sometimes find some real gems in thrift stores!!! I am hoping one day I'll come across a smocking pleater 😍😍
Great idea! So smart
Oh it's beautiful! What a lovely build, thank you for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
Good for you. That’s so nice you were brave to tackle such a big project.
That was brilliant!
I love it!! You did great! I do like it with just the clear varnish.
Great work. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you 🙏🙏🙏
I love it!! Beautiful ❤️
That turned out wonderfully! Well done!

Thank you, I have just built a extension table for my sewing machine using your tutorial. I couldn't buy an extension table for my machine anywhere in Australia, only overseas and postage was more than the product. So thank you again for sharing this. I'm 62yo and if I can do it so can you. :)
I'm in love!
This is a beautiful job!
You go girl , you did the damn thing💯💪🏼.
Thanks for posting
Excellent! Beautifully made and explained. I'm definitely going to make on - I have all the tools etc and now I have the time too! Many thanks for a great video.
Great job, but they have solid unfinished kitchen cutting boards already in that size. I'm proud of you. 😕😊😊
Excellent job❣️👍🏼

Great Job, Love it!
So beautiful,🌹what a great job.
Lovely work.
You are fantastic. I do a lot of sewing and your idea is great. I am definitely going to make a table like yours. 🥰
👍 Дуже гарна ідея! Молодець!
Great idea! I had thought about making one for a Sewing Machine, but for some reason I didn't think to use wood. That is beautiful, durable, and customized. Great job!
The idea is just plain genius. And you executed it so well!
I don't have the space for a dedicated sewing desk right now but once I do, I need to make this
It came out beautiful! Nice job!
Well done you it looks fantastic x
Girrrrl... you did a great job!! 😁 Love it!! ... and it works beautifully!! 👍
Perfect! Now I need to make one.
Beautiful!!
Brilliant! It's such a practical extension. This is the first time I've viewed your channel and it was worth the time. I haven't done a woodworking project in ages and seeing this is inspiring.
beautiful build!!
Well done!
Just perfect. Thank you 🤩
I Love that table.
Це чудова ідея! Ви майстер на всі руки!!
Great job!♥
Great job! I wish I had found your channel prior to my recent purchase of a table to extend my work surface.
Well done Rose, this is a great tutorial, I will attempt one of these 👍
That turned out great!
Thank you for that! I am not good at visualizing so knowing that you made and adjusted a cardboard template opens up a whole new world to me. I can at least get my husband or BIL to cut the top to fit, and finish it myself.
Cheers, a fellow Canadian crafter
