Simple Sewing Room Fix!

Just a quick note about something that has helped my back in my sewing room a lot! It seems like a small thing but I have found it a fabulous addition to my sewing space. 

I sew with a folding table set up for my cutting and my sewing. When I'm tracing patterns or cutting, I can't spend too long at it because I'm hunched over and my back ends up very sore if I don't take breaks. I had seen someone mention bed risers for a folding table before but hadn't followed up on this. 

Well, I was lucky enough to get some of these bed risers in December - they're very simple, just heavy plastic lifts. I set them up in my sewing space and wow, the difference! So simple to just stick under the table legs to raise it for cutting or tracing, and to remove for sewing or usual table use. 

This has been a huge improvement for such a little thing. I can trace, cut or or do other crafts standing, and my back doesn't ache at the end of any of them. I can't believe it took me this long to make this simple change that I am loving. Highly recommend as a super easy and cost effective fix if you also sew and cut on a normal height table.
