Sewing Room Furniture

Grandma's sewing table is almost finished. I haven't installed the drawers yet because I'm trying to decide if I want to paint little flowers on the fronts of them?


Now the table is the right height for Grandma and her little chair. I'm still looking for her sewing machine...

I'm also working on my mini sewing cabinet. It is a copy of the real one my Grandfather made. Installing tiny hinges is really difficult! They come with teensy tiny nails but I gave up on those and will glue them in place.

This morning I got distracted (again) and found more inspiration at Jane Coslick Cottages. She showed a cute hat rack yesterday that I just had to try making in miniature. Click here to see.


This is a hat that Kat-the-hat-lady made just for Grandma. I've ordered two more. I just couldn't resist. I love Kat's hats!

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Mother's Sewing Cabinet

This is my mother's sewing cabinet. It was made by my grandfather. It is maple and has a nice patina as well as some damage from many many moves.

It is sitting in my bedroom next to my old Kenmore sewing machine. My machine is over 40 years old and needs a tune-up before I can do any mini sewing.

Here is the inside of the cabinet. I love all of the little drawers. I don't know if grandpa made this from scratch, but he probably did. He made other furniture too.

Inside there are wooden embroidery hoops and lots of knitting needles in various sizes.

Maybe I should learn how to knit?!

I have a few wooden spools of thread too. I may make a tiny table with one of them?

Do you have any family treasures that are collecting dust? I would love to see them!

Hope you have a lovely day,
