Dependig upon the style of your sewing machine, you could possibly upcycle it as a lamp if it is a portable. If it is an old cabinet model, you could use it as a storage bin for outdoor events and place a metal bin in the area where the working part of the machine is housed and use it as an iced-storage area and place drinks within it.
Hello could you possibly post a photograph to better see your size and design of your sewing machine situation ?
Having a visual might be helpful to be able to offer the best guidance .....to a help find the best suggestions or potential up-cycle- repurpose for your machine.
You could make it into a desk. It will need one solid surface on the top. If you purchase wood at Home Depot or Lowe's, they will cut it for free. Then just stain or paint it.
What kind of sewing machine is it? Do you have a picture? Are you looking to repurpose a cabinet , take the sewing machine out or actually tune-up the sewing machine?
