Very nice!
When I was a small child my Mum did all the ironing on the kitchen table with a pile of sheets and blankets to provide the surface. I can only imagine how my back would scream if I did that!
However, being able to do the pressing on a table when making quilt block is really useful - a number of us made hard pressing boards for just that purpose recently. This would be even easier!

OOh I am tempted by that, not that I am doing much sewing currently :rolleyes:
-
But it's when you're not sewing that you can get everything prepared and ready for when you are sewing! ;)

@Acorn
Yeah I made a pressing pad myself a few months back and before that I was running out to the kitchen and using the counter with a teatowl on it. 0_0

I have one of these & find it very useful. I use it on the kitchen counter.
-
I've got something similar which I find invaluable for use in the kitchen.

@Acorn I remember the blanket/sheet ironing pad in our kitchen and all the ironing I did on it as a teenager.

The screenshop only showed part of the URL. The full link is:
https://www.lidl-ni.co.uk/en/p/home-comforts/tabletop-ironing-pad/p37535 (https://www.lidl-ni.co.uk/en/p/home-comforts/tabletop-ironing-pad/p37535)
@CraftyIrish Dunno how to do it on a phone, but with the laptop to include a link I open that link in a separate tab. Highlight and copy the URL (shown in the box at the top of the screen), go back to teh TSP page and past the link, highlight it again and copy (control and C on Windows, Command and C on Mac) then click on the "insert hyperlink" icon (which looks like a ball with a sheet of paper in front of it) and then paste (control and V or Command and V) into the pop-up box. Make sure you leave the "http://" highlighted so that when you paste it gets overwritten otherwise it will stay with the copied link and won't direct properly.

For many years my mum did the ironing on the kitchen table using an old blanket covered with a piece of bed sheet. She was good at ironing and never really got used to using a 'proper' ironing board. But you could always tell if she was the one who had ironed a shirt because it would have a neat crease going all the way down the centre back.

My neighbour still irons on her table in the kitchen.
If you don't have your ironing board up permanently in the kitchen where do you keep most of your stash? :laughing:

I'm not getting back into how many irons and ironing boards I have at this point but I store my stash in three big plastic lock lid containers.

Much handier on the ironing board in the kitchen. Saves all that going looking for stuff. :)

Just been to LIdl and see theyre having a sewing week ...
To be honest it all looked like crap ...
FQs the thinness of a spiders web and I'll stake my life on them not being 100% cotton they were so slippy ...
various plastic sets of stuff ..
A 'sewing table' that didnt have the rise and fall thing that I equate makes a sewing table rather than a table with a drawer and some cupboard space
the only thing that looked even remotely interesting was a organiser box with spool pins in the top layer ... on closer inspection the pins were set so close together that anything but the seriously thin spools of thread wouldnt fit ...
and on consideration, I dont think they would either as they tend to stand quite tall ..
Do you think someone gets paid to design this S*** ???
Bah Humbug!

I thought the sewing offerings were pretty anaemic too.
