Re: Vintage Ironing Board, Repurposed for Sewing Room

Clever idea.  Personally, I wouldn't want the threads in the open on display (although it does offer lots of color), think I'd get tired of it.  But, I would think a sewer would appreciate this style as it would be very practical.

 

But, hey, I'm not a sewer, so what do I know?   Smiley Wink

I hate ironing and sewing so you guessed it....It's definitely NOT for me.

Woman LOL  So true! I used to sew A LOT. At one point I had half a wall covered with spools and spool holders. I would have needed four of these ironing boards. A few years ago I whittled everything down to one spool rack and you know I'm happy with that, that's enough.

That's a neat idea. Good way to keep the thread organized.

Our first home had a sewing board built into the wall.  It had a latched door which you opened up and lowered the ironing board.

 

Eventually I had my husband take the board out and put in shelves.  Was deep enough to hold boxes of baggies, parchement paper, etc.

It's very clever but I  don't sew nor have a sewing room.

Cute photo but I do not even own a needle and thread.  My Grandmother asked me once back in the 80's how I could run a household without such supplies?  Alteration stores and the local cleaners.
