When my ironing board cover gets "icky" from starch, etc... I just make a new one,(method sewingsuz above uses) generally out of the 54" wide decorator fabric from WalMart. I just put the new one over the old one.. Adds cushion to the already existing one. Measure the biggest width of your board and add enough for turning edge and casing and voila! pretty new cover!! You can also color coordinate to you room!
