I purchased a big board to use over my ironing board at a LQS years ago. It was hand made by a local crafter. I love it and use it all the time, even for my personal ironing. My husbands shirts just fit from shoulder to shoulder--that's how wide it is and I can get new covers for it from the various quilting catalogs for ex., Connecting Threads, Nancy's Notions, Keepsake Quilting and they fit fine. I only paid $40 for it at the time. It measures 22 1/2 x 60 1/2. Pads are also available from the above mentioned sources. It is made of a sturdy wood, and a bit on the weighty side--meaning it is not at all flimsy. There is a piece of wood at the one end on the under side that prevents it from sliding off the ironing board and also on the two long sides. If your hubby does any kind of woodworking, I know he could make you one. As I said, I love mine and couldn't do without it. Every now and then I pull it forward to keep it where it belongs, because it slides a little toward the back end.
