My Sister & her DH was out walking around their neighbor hood here awhile back. It was the day before trash day. Anyway she saw this table top ironing board in someones trash & went to get it thinking I might like to have it. I now call her a trash digger! LOL Anyway today I redid the cover, here is a before and after shot.

Great find-but the before pic didn't look too bad! Looks like they didn't use it much. I love your cover, though!

Your right it did not look bad until I took the old cover off and it was very very nasty. Went straight to the trash.

I have one of those and love it! I don't always want to be down in the sewing room, so I carry the table top ironing board upstairs and work off my extra wide kitchen island. I make sure I run it back downstairs before DH gets home...:)
