Turntable ironing board

  Hi everyone - While surfing this last week, I found a nifty idea and I have just made one up. It is so handy! I bought a hardwood turntable from Ikea (called a Snudda 900.744.83) that cost $6.99 US and then I took an old ironing board cover and cut it to fit around the turntable (4 larger than the perimeter of the turntable, sewed a casing, inserted some stout cotton cord, and tada! I have an ironing turntable to sit next to my sewing machine. I think this will be especially helpful as I work in paper piecing. The idea came originally from Japan where Clover sells a roundtable for craft work. It has made several blogs since then and I saw it on the Ikea Hacker blog.

  The above address shows the Japanese version (in Japanese) but has good photos of how it can be used.
