I have...Yes... my sewing room is a mess right now. I have a trash can, but when I am cutting fabric, the whole floor is a rubbish bin. PVC might work, too. I wonder if the legs would stick far out from the table with the extra length, though. I'll look into it. Thanks! Good idea!Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659088364165367101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283432893182314840.post-62840132264876922782013-07-09T11:46:15.799-07:002013-07-09T11:46:15.799-07:00That might not be bad...

The angled legs of the table will stop the PVC from going more than the first few inches up the legs.<br /><br />It's a cheap and quick fix until you decide to build something better. =) <br /><br />My sewing room rarely looks as clean as the photo you posted either!

It's nice and high so I don't have to bend too much when I'm laying out and cutting fabric, and it stores patterns at one end and fabric at the other, without taking up too much extra space. Could you take the legs off your table and use filing cabinets to prop it up instead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283432893182314840.post-88973780277317532972013-06-27T13:04:29.026-07:002013-06-27T13:04:29.026-07:00How about bed risers to raise your cutting table? ...How about bed risers to raise your cutting table?
