I’m going to use my old sewing machine as a bathroom vanity..with a vessel sink. I’ve also seen very cute side table made with the bases. Good Luck!

I used my grandmother’s sewing cabinet to make a table for a small kitchen corner banquette. We took the cabinet off the cast iron scrollwork legs, removed the foot pedal, and mounted the cast iron legs on wood runners to create trestles, then attached the top of the sewing table leg brackets to a large plank of knotless pine that was attractively woodworked by a handyman friend on the edges to create some interesting grooves and rounded edges. Stained and sealed it all with a durable polyurethane. The table is tremendously strong, won’t tip over even when leaned on, and can hold up to the wear and tear of a family beautifully. I eventually had a piece of plexiglass/Lexan cut to fit to protect the wood surface from the kids’ magic markers and pencil scratches, because it also was a favorite homework place. Twenty five years later, it is a craft and play table in the basement and still looks as good as the day we brought it home. Grandma Emma would be pleased to know the happy family times it brings to mind every time I look at what she contributed to make it.
