I am awful sometimes! I'm all over the place with sewing projects without finishing what I'm currently working on.
My latest sewing venture... I want to make a new ironing board cover. Mine is terrible and of course, I bought; ages ago, an extra wide ironing board from Target. From the look of all the tutorials I found online, others are having the same issue I'm running into it... you can't find a replacement cover that fits!
So, I'm going to make my own. Maybe not anytime soon (like this weekend) but within the month. Has anyone out in BlogLand made a replacement cover? Any tips? Some tutorials say to use quilters cotton. Some say use home dec weight fabric, as long as it's 100% cotton (any polyester in the fabric may melt). Any preferences to either - besides the price difference between the two...?
Enjoy your day!

I could sure use a new cover for mine too. But I dont wanna make it. I had thought about one of those big boards but then where do I put that huge thing? lol I need all the room for fabric.
ReplyDeleteI could use a new cover too. I keep thinking I will get to this project, but never seem to.
ReplyDeleteI also need a new one. The list of projects for Christmas 2009 that Nanette has over at Fredas Hive has a tutorial for making ironing board covers.
ReplyDeleteMy ironning board is a vintage wooden one, so it's easy to recover: fabric & a staple gun!
ReplyDeleteBut I knew I saw instructions somewhere for the ironning board cover...and I just found it again: Start Staring and Start Sewing has a great tutorial on her blog:)
