My version...

of a stitcher's lap tray. I saw a pic of a stitcher's lap tray the other day online. I couldn't find one to buy, so I made one. The one I saw was a traditional lap desk with a bean bag bottom, and a tray made from a picture frame. I made my own version with a tray I found at an antique mall. I covered a piece of cardboard with magnet sheets and fabric and then glued it in the tray. It holds my current project, and keeps it all together. I do wish the magnet was stronger, but it serves the purpose of keeping everything together. A big shout out to my hubby who took the kids away for a few days, and I can be crafty with no interruptions! I had to work and couldn't go with them, but have enjoyed a few days of quiet at home!
