I have made many of these. They are surprisingly easy to draft yourself.

You turn your ironing board upside-down and use a marker to make a pattern onto either a large paper roll or tissue paper you have taped together. You will need to add on to that all the way around for the depth of the pad, the casing size you intend to use and the overhang that has the string or elastic. About 3 1/2 inches might be the number. Depending on our width of your casing you need to accommodate your string or elastic.

First make two button holes in the middle of the large bottom middle. This is for the string to go through and come out of. Make a casing along the whole edge that begins at the middle of the large end of the board and thread the string or elastic though to draw it up. Done! A custom made ironing board cover. I have also seen people make a padded mattress type pad for just the top of the board and use loops to string it to the bottom to hold it on.
