I love my Kallax cutting / ironing table ! My husband and I secured two 2 X 4 units together, back to back on their sides and added 4” locking casters. I added a 36 X 60 melamine top and covered it with ironing board fabric then topped that with the 36 X 60 cutting mat for use with large projects. I also have 36x24 cutting mat on one end and 36X24 ironing board on the other for smaller projects. I also love the versatility, I have 4 drawers, 4 baskets, and the remainder open shelves. I find the height to be a perfect fit for me.

I have four IKEA Kalex units too. Mine sit upright and have a combination of drawers and shelves. I love mine as well.

Thank you for making this video, I had a very difficult day, and this video really lifted my spirits :) Well, I I don’t have a Kalex, But yours is so pretty, and Functional! Which is so important, of course. I know this sounds dumb, but the way you have yours set up, and filled, is just so cozy. When you were opening the drawers, and sharing your fun stuff will us, I just wanted to grab a hot chocolate and sit on the floor lol. THANK YOU I had a blast watching :) You have become such a Wonderful quilter. Everything you make is just so beautiful. I’m a beginner, I just made a table runner, a little wonky 🙄 Oh well :) I really LOVE❤ your videos, please keep making them Patty, because the way you explain everything helps me so much!

I love the drawers in my Kallax and you put yours to great use! I didnt realize that jelly rolls fit. One tip to disguise the metal screws showing on the outside on each end = paint the screw heads with white nail polish

Hi Patty, I am also in the love it camp. I’m fortunate that I had an extra bedroom to turn into my sewing room, so nothing is on display in the rest of my home, but I’m of the opinion that sewing room furniture should be more functional than aesthetically pleasing. It is part of our tools of the trade, as it were. I have two Kallax units: a 4 x 2 and a 5 x 5. The 4 x 2 is on its side, on castors, has a variety of doors and drawers, and is topped by a full ironing table that actually overhangs the top. Mounted above it are several of the IKEA pegboards and their multi functioning pieces. The 5 x 5 takes up most of one wall, but holds all my material. I have the material divided into multicolored cubes so it is sorted by color or maker, but is also protected from environmental problems like dust and sunlight. A couple of the shelves even hold mini bolts (covered by plastic) and the space on top holds my projects in progress boxes. I also have several of the cheaply made sewing desks from Joann’s and a gate leg cutting table with another pegboard mounted above holding rulers and rotary cutters. It makes life and sewing so easy when everything is accessible🥰

This seems to serve your needs very well! I think I could use this in my home office. My husband and I recently retired, and I had to combine my home office furnishing and supplies with our office furniture and supplies into a downsized space. I am still muddling through and am finally at the point that I now recognize what I truly need to keep and what to donate or purge I also am a sewer and a crafter and know the Kallax would be perfect for that. Isn't it nice to have a place for everything and everything in its place? I love that you have found such a wonderful solution for your supplies. You have inspired me!

[terridean]

I have all my fabrics neatly folded in the cubbies of my Kallax plus all my scrapbooking/card making supplies neatly organized in it. My craft room looks great.

[HansonLacey]

Don't be sorry for not always using Amazon. YOu do a wonderful job and I love watching your channel.

[Metdiva]

Thank you for the tour! My favorite part was your ribbon drawer. I've never been able to get on board with storing them on a dowel rod trend. I'd love a Kallax like yours for an AccuQuilt GO die cutter station, and have a Hemnes cabinet (3 shelves and 3 drawers) with glass doors on either side of it for the books, project boxes, etc.

[constanceklagge]

We don't have an Ikea near where I live, so no Ikea for me. Love your sewing area and I'd say you're pretty organized.

[eladiocofresi]

My current sewing organization furniture is the Lagkapten/Mittback combo, with a few other pieces held elsewhere (such as the fabric is in the living room furniture.) What I like is the table top can be adjusted for height, and I keep the sewing machine and my supplies which are actually in a cosmetic organizer in the shelves underneath. As for my Kallax, I added metal feet to make a nice record player stand.

[kathytowe]

I put that unit horizontally up on the wall above my sewing counter, with doors drawers and baskets . It hides a multitude of stuff.! Looks so neat and organized.

[mariannedressler]

I’m in the love camp!!! So many ways to utilize!!!

[christinehl]

Thank you for making this video. I love what you have done with the unit and how nice it looks in your space. I love functional and easy care furniture. I all for function over designer looks at this stage of my life. I’m about to take everything out of my sewing room and reorganize and rearrange. I do this every few years when my hobby priorities change. I noticed that you have drawer rails on your drawers. Did those come with the drawers or did you have to put those on? The feet are a fantastic idea. It makes vacuuming so much easier. I’m glad you make the comment about the Janome and Kenmore relationship. I have an old Kenmore that someone gave me and I need to get it serviced as it’s not in working condition. Didn’t know where to get accessories once I got it working again. Thanks for sharing. If you have more sewing space ideas, please share.

I use the cloth boxes and sub divide with internal boxes tupperware type with lids

[Sherri_O]

I love iKea. I have two Malm 3-drawer dressers that I use for craft storage.

[laregimbal]

I put feet on mine also, but I used some Ikea feet called Kabbarp. I like the shape of them and the colour matches.

For drawer organizers, nothing beats Dollar Tree. They have all kinds of different sizes, so you can find something to fit a specific item.

[pjacksreads]

I love ikea products My sewing table is ikea.

[sandrafulton]

cute tikis -- don't toss the carpet may need to color match

[christinawaybright]

Okay… off subject… but I put my plants outside in the summer, and then in the winter all the spiders in a 3 county radius move into my house! Do you do anything to get rid of the spiders before bringing your plants back inside in the fall?!?
