If you live near a camping store, they carry a small ironing board with feet that sits on a table. the feet just fold up under it and there is also one that folds in half. Would fit in bag to carry with you. they are about the size of a toy board. I have also taken a piece of muslin-lined it with tin foil and folded it over to use on my cutting table. You can also use the insulate material available at the fabric store to make your own ironing pad.
