Dull, dirty and lifeless. BORING!
Bright, cheerful and EXCITING!! Isn't it FAB! I LOVE IT! Is it wrong that I want to hang my ironing board on the wall as art and not use it?! OR that I really want to iron something now?? Here are a couple more pics of my most beautiful ironing board cover... nope. I'm not going to be modest. I think it's gorgeous! LOL!
It was really easy to do. I mean REALLY easy. I found several tutorials online on what the process is. Everybody does it a little different from the other but the overall concept is the same. This is the tutorial I followed... kinda. I made it in shifts yesterday because I had things going on in between. Overall, I think it took me 45 minutes to do. I re-used the original batting because it was fine and the string from my old cover.
LOVE IT! I even went into my sewing room this morning before leaving for work to admire it some more. LOL.
My husband built Punkie's classroom an extra long, sturdy step to use at their sink so that 2 kids could wash hands. Currently, they are using 2 plastic step stools and more than once, someone slipped off... Amelia included. So Chris made a nice wooden one last night. Here's Punkie helping Daddy paint the steps. Please ignore the mess in my basement!
She loves to help. More so, she loves to paint!
Enjoy your day!

Jen,
ReplyDeleteI think I really would not mind ironing if mine looked that good,yo go girl.
I didnt do to much damage at the fabric store around $30.00, got fabric to finish the quilt im working on and a material for a xmas table runner that I couldn't leave there, it's to cute.
The 21st is good for me, off to read about the ironing board cover I am in desperate need of one.
Have a great week
Mary
It's GORGEOUS -- I LOVE it!!! I SO need to do mine -- thanks for the inspiration -- I just LOVE the fabric you chose.
