Shaker Sewing Cabinet

Elegant Shaker sewing cabinet plan with classic joinery, dovetail drawers, and timeless style—perfect for sewing, crafts, and heirloom woodworking.

Inspired by classic Shaker design, this cherry sewing cabinet offers a beautiful and functional way to store sewing tools, craft supplies, or household items. Based on a historic "four-over-two-over-one sisters sewing cabinet" from Hancock, Massachusetts, this project blends traditional joinery with clean, purposeful design.

With its seven dovetailed drawers, drop-leaf work surface, and refined proportions, this piece brings organized storage and timeless character to any space. Whether you're drawn to Shaker style or looking to sharpen your woodworking skills, this plan is packed with rewarding techniques — from mortise-and-tenon joinery to dovetail drawers and rule joints. Cherry hardwood, poplar internals, and birch plywood combine for a project that's as durable as it is beautiful.
