I have an old shelf which I made 2 years ago. That was my 2nd wood project. Later I modified to use with sewing machine. But it did not workout properly because there is no proper table top (Stitching platform). In this instructable I am going to show how I made table top so that we can sew easily and comfortably just like traditonal mechanical sewing machine.

I cut the MDF to the desired length, and traced the sewing machine. Using jigsaw I cut the marked region.

Sewing machine height is exactly 7 cm. I cut 5.8 cm width wood strips(MDF width is 12 mm), glued and screw fitted to the shelf.
PVC Vinyl

I attached the PVC vinyl sheet and edge band with pvc glue and secured with masking tape for 24 hrs.

After inserting the sewing machine there a slight gap between the machine and table top. I covered the gap by gluing old plastic ruler at the bottom.

I have not changed the interior but painted with black.
