Dressing Table
D
ressing Table
Most girls have lots of very important “stuff” that can’t be accommodated in their
dressers, and they never have enough room for displaying perfume bottles, pictures, knickknacks,
and jewelry. This fabric-covered dressing table solves the problem. It’s even large enough to
double as a study desk!

Notes on Materials
Because I wanted to place my finished dressing table against a wall, I bought only enough fabric
to cover its front and sides. (Okay, I’m cheap!) If you’d like to skirt the back of the dressing
table, too, add the extra fabric and cording listed in the “Materials List.”
Unless you want to make your own cording, purchase it from a fabric shop, coordinating it with
your selected fabrics.

Making the Base Units
1. Underneath the skirt, the dressing table is supported by two identical units, each of which
contains three drawers. To make the first unit, start by cutting the following pieces from 1
x 12 pine: two 28-1/2”-long sides (A); two 13-1/2”-long top/bottom pieces (B); and two
12”-long shelf pieces (C).
2. Glue the two top/bottom pieces (B) over the raw ends of the two sides (A) to form a
rectangular box as shown in Figure 1 . Insert three 1-1/4” screws at each joint.
3. Fit the two shelves (C) into the
rectangular box, spacing them evenly, so
that each of the three openings is exactly
9” high (see Figure 1 ).
4. Glue the shelves (C) to the sides (A) and
insert four 2” screws along the length of
each joint.
5. Cut one 13-1/2” x 30” back (D) from ¼”-
thick plywood. Glue the back (D) onto
the back edges of the assembled unit as
shown in Figure 1 , and secure it with 3d
finishing nails spaced 4” apart.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 to construct a
second base unit that is identical to the
first.
Figure 1
Making the Drawer/Bins
1. There are a total of six bins, three in each
of the dressing-table units. These aren’t actually drawers, as they simply sit inside the
units, but they can be pulled out if desired. Each bin is identical in size and in method of
construction (see Figure 2 ). To make them, start by cutting twelve 11-3/4”-long bin
front/back pieces (E) and twelve 9”-long bin sides (F) from 1 x 8 pine.
2. Cut a ¼” x 14” dado on the inside of each bin piece (E and F), 3/8” from its lower edge to
accommodate the plywood bottom.
3. From ¼”-thick plywood, cut six 9-3/4” x 10-5/8” bin bottoms (G).
4. Assemble and glue together one bin as shown in Figure 2 . Note that the bin front/back
pieces (E) over lap the ends of the bin sides (F). Use three 1-1/4” screws at each joint.

5. Repeat the bin-assembly process in Step 4 five more times to construct the remaining five
bins.
Constructing the Top
1. The dressing table top is
constructed of ¾-thick plywood
covered with quilt batting and
fabric #1. The skirt—made from
fabric #2—is then attached to the
table top (H). Start by cutting a
22” x 48” table top (H) from ¾-
thick plywood.
2. Cut a 26” x 52” double layer of
quilt batting.
Figure 2
3. Cut a 26” x 52” piece of fabric #1.
4. Place the piece of fabric #1 on a smooth surface, right side down. Place the double layer of
quilt batting over the fabric. Center the top (H) over the quilt batting. Then bring the edges
of the fabric up and over the edges of the table top (H) and staple them to the plywood. To
minimize wrinkling, first staple the center of one side, then the center of the opposite side,
and work your way out to the corners, smoothing the fabric as you go. Staple the centers of
the remaining sides and again work your way out to the corners. Be generous with the
staples; use enough to keep the fabric taut and eliminate puckering along the sides.
5. To attach the fabric-covered top to the two base units, place the top upside down on a flat
surface. Place the two base units upside down on top of it, spacing them as shown in
Figure 3 . Attach the base units to the top by inserting 1-1/4” screws through all four
corners of each of the units. Turn the entire assembly right side up when you’re finished.

Making the Skirt
6. If you intend to skirt all four sides of the assembly, skip to Step 7. To skirt the two sides
and front, first cut the 5-1/2-yard-long piece of fabric #2 in half to get two pieces, each 2-
3/4 yards long.
7. Sew a 1” hem along the 2-3/4-yard edge of one of these two pieces and along both of the
sides, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4
8. Sew a double row of gathering stitches 1” from the remaining raw edge (see Figure 4 ). Pull
the gathers until the gathered edge measures 56”.
9. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to hem and gather the remaining 2-3/4-yard long piece of fabric #2.
10. Now you’ll attach the gathered edges of these two pieces onto the edge of the padded table
top (H). Place the first fabric piece right side down on the left side of the table top (H),
with the gathered edge overhanging the edge of the table top and the hem 6” right of center,
as shown in Figure 5 . Adjust the overhang so that when the gathered skirt piece is stapled
and pulled down, the skirt will just touch the floor. Staple the skirt to the top edge of the
table top. Don’t be stingy with the staples; you want a perfectly straight edge after you turn
the skirt down. Work your way from 6” left of center, left across the front, across the side,
and 4” around the back.
11. Repeat Step 5 to attach the remaining piece of gathered fabric to the right side of the
padded table top. The two pieces should overlap by 6” in the center of the dressing table.
12. To skirt all four sides of the entire assembly, hem and attach the entire 8-1/4 yards of fabric
#2 as a single piece, beginning and ending with a 6” overlap in the front.
