Save Space and Have a Sewing-Table

What home-maker who must combine bedroom and sewingroom would not find this table very useful? It is made of lightweight boards fitted together, preferably twelve-inch cypress or white pine. The table is to be made thirty-six inches wide, the usual width of dress goods, and sixty inches long. It is not difficult to get the boards at a sawmill, having them cut sixty inches long and with grooved edges. The top is covered with beaverboard, which is cemented on. Pins used to hold patterns in place are easily pressed into the beaverboard. This sewing-table is hinged to the wall and has one leg to support the table when in use. Mrs. M. A. M., Pablo Beach, Fla.
