Not that a need a craft room project table but this idea was too good not to share and keep for my possible future file. It come from Workbench magazine that I picked up at the library this weekend after returning a book. It's a nice little magazine that as of August 2009 has no advertisements!

Next I took the large rectangular piece and sewed it to the bottom of the square. Now I don't have photos of the last few steps since once it start forming a pillow it is difficult to photograph, but the process is not that difficult. Next I sewed each side of the the rectangle to one side of the triangle on both s
