New Ironing Board Cover
2 Attachment(s)
I am sooo pleased with myself. My old ironing board cover was old and nasty looking. Yesterday I was ironing a piece of fabric and I said to myself this fabric would make a very eclectic ironing board cover. Best of all the fabric is 60" wide. Rather than removing the old cover I just covered it up by tucking the edges of the new fabric underneath and safety pinning it. Worked like a charm. I think I still have about five yards of this vary garish fabric. It was a thrift store find and as I remember it cost me about $1 a yard.

Love it! I like fabric.
|
Very pretty & you did a great job!
|
Because I do a lot of pressing and use starch, I mess up a cover quickly, so... I use obsolete fabric and just drape over the work surface and continue til its brown and place another piece of fabric over it It's another attempt at reducing my stash of fabric.
Just heard about locker hooking which utilizes fabric woven into latch hook webbing and secured w yarn Proponents of this method reccommend using quilt patterns for designing rugs Another way to reduce stash and use up leftover yarn from years of crochet. |
nicely done.... not garish at all from a distance
|
That looks so cool!
|
that looks great..any one have an idea on how to make a new padding for the top? mine is so thin now that I get marks in my fabric when I iron on it.
|
The fabric looks great as an ironing board cover. I re-covered mine a couple years ago and it is due for a new one again. And what a perfect way to use up fabric that will never go in to a quilt.

Well believe it or not Sheri, I am using some of the fabric to make a sampler quilt. Someone will love it and the colors. Maybe even me when I am done with it.

I thought I would post pics of the first two sampler blocks that I am making with this fabric for the QB 2013 BOM. I know this fabric, Patch of Roses by Hampton Print Works, was curtain or drapery fabric but it will be happy to live out it's life in a quilt.
|
What a great idea! I know what you mean...my new cover is already stained and looks nasty!
|
It's very cute! Did you test it to make sure the inexpensive colors won't run if you steam something?

I use a layer of cotton batting and top it with thermoweb to replace the padding on my ironing board.
|
How about a valance for your window of the same fabric? Ta-Da, new room!
|
Love the fabric. Makes ironing less boring.

Looks great and will really brighten up your room.
|
Looks great - sure to be the best board in the neighborhood!
|
Great cover. Looks great.
|
Your cover looks great!
I bought a new cover a while back. Was doing some steam pressing and noticed my fabric looked funny. The cover has blead over on my fabric! You wouldn't think ironing board fabric would do that, but this sure did. It got returned in a hurry. Make my own from now on. |
It sure looks like a lovely ironing cover.
|
so many wonderful ideas from so many wonderful and creative quilters...what a group!!
|
My colors, great choice!
|
I use old large beach towels.
