I am wondering what kind of ironing board and ironing board cover you all like. I need to replace the one on my regular ironing board and wonder if I should
just make one with a piece of my stash- I've done that many times in the past -
or buy a ready made one with my Joanne or Hancock coupon - I've done that in the past -
or use my coupon to buy a couple yards of cover fabric and make one - never done that.
Wish I had room for an ironing square right next to my machines, but I don't.

I don't have room for the large ironing surfaces people are making either. I do have the large ironing board from Costco and I love it. I usually keep something extra on top of my board that I can throw in the washer, so I don't replace my cover.

I washed the orginal until it couldn't take it anymore lol. Then I took it off and used it as a pattern to make one out of the silver stuff, you know the one for hot stuff, I forget the name right now.
I love it. I used extra batting, a couple of layers or three.

I make my own ironing board covers, I use the 100% cotton curtain fabric in white or cream, the one that has a thermal lining back to it, I sew sheeting elastic around the edge to keep it on and cotton tapes to help keep it from moving. My covers last for years!
