Yes, I have one that could be your's twin. I used one layer of teflon fabric, shiny side up, a layer of insulbright, and a layer of 100% cotton batting. I covered all that with a two layers of plain muslin and used the staple gun to secure all the layers. Then I got some pillow ticking and made a removable / washable cover for it. I used grommets and cotton laundry cording, which is also replaceable. One of my friends made her top with elastic, but I felt like it didn't keep the top as taut as I wanted mine to be. And I usually lay a piece of plain muslin on top of the ticking if I am starching a lot of pieces to keep as much spray starch off of it as I can.
