Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention I put those sliding pads (they have cloth under a pad) underneath the solid bottom so I can push it against the wall when it's not being used.

wow, great idea

Great find! You will love the extra wide pressing surface. I have a 5' triple dresser for storage and an ironing surface. It has 4 small drawers, 2 large drawers and a cabinet in the middle with a door. DH made a big board top that is 24" x 66" to go on top. We stapled a couple layers of cotton batting on it and I made a heavy cotton duck cover with drawstrings so it could be taken off and washed. I love the big ironing surface and all the extra storage space. Unfortunately my kitties like it too, so I usually have to move one or both of them every time I want to use it. lol DH also made me a portable ironing surface from a wooden tv tray. He made a top that was a little larger than the tv tray and put a frame under it so it would fit over the tray. I take it to classes, etc. and, when I am sewing at home I put the removable top on my sewing cabinet next to my machine to press as I go. (So I don't have to move the kitties as often!)

We need a picture of that!

What a clever way of repurposing and getting so much bang for your buck! The fabric you chose is certainly a happy print;) .
|
Nice idea and can't beat the deal.
|
LOVE IT... I like the idea of the thread dividers. Now I just have to find a handy husband to build a base..LOL
|
You got a bargain there and now you have something that fits your purpose exactly. Great job.
|
Great table....

Thanks! The regular ironing board fabric was kind of boring, and the butterflies match some of the paintings I have hanging in the sewing room as well as the Dolls quilt I'm working on.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t220720.html I bought it at Joanne's and it had sparkles on it, but I think most of them washed out -- I pre-washed the fabric. It has the pot-holder fabric, then ironing board fabric, then this fabric which seemed a lot like ironing board fabric.
