CUPBOARD
This is new from The Original ScrapBox
(www.theoriginalscrapbox.com.au) and it’s
a little stroke of design and engineering
ingenuity. First, it’s just an unremarkable
cupboard, but open the doors and it folds
out to a complete sewing/craft studio. Now
that’s remarkable! It has 2,500 square
inches (1.6 sq m) of table space along
with plenty of supply storage. When your
work’s done, it all folds up and closes to
hide your scraps and sewing equipment.
