Friday afternoon as my Mom was putting the finishing touches on the bathroom trim, I decided that I needed a new ironing board cover.
I had made one last summer but ended up getting it messy with fusible interfacing goo, and it was kinda ugly anyway so it needed to go.
I used Randi's excellent tutorial modified to fit my board which was just slightly bigger. I also ended up piecing the green and yellow fabrics because I didn't have quite the width that I needed, but you can hardly tell.
Only after taking this picture did I realize how crooked the yellow fabric is. Oh well, it is one of my favorites and I don't think it will bother me too much. Do you like the Pearl Bracelet prints by Lizzy House? I love them and want to own them all!

So pretty! I need to make one.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love all of the prints :-) I wish someone did a "all the pearl bracelets bundle", I would buy it in a flash!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome Toni. My ironing board go a re-do last year sometime and it was so worth it. Mine was so icky before!
ReplyDeleteI love the pearl bracelets as well, great colors, very cheery! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove your cover!! Ironing is so much more tolerable, and even fun? with a cheery ironing board cover! :o) Can your mom come over to my house next? lol
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love the pearl bracelets and recently had the chance to work with some of the new ones. They are really amazing in a very simple way. I love that you can keep them larger or cut them rather small and they still are interesting to look at.
ReplyDeleteI looks great! I have this on my to do list, I have the fabric, have the new foam, just need to find the time o.O
ReplyDeleteYour cover looks so happy! The bracelets are just being jaunty. :D
ReplyDeleteI really think I need some green and aqua bracelets, but my bank balance does not agree!
ReplyDeleteI always get my ironing board in such a mucky state I couldn't bring myself to make it that pretty xxx
Beautiful - the best dressed ironing board I've seen!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! You should see my sad ironing board. I really should make a new one!
ReplyDeleteI love your cover Toni! I need to make one too. Mine looks really bad. I love the prints you chose.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the Pearl Bracelets! And your ironing board is DARLING! You should see my disgusting cover. I'm definitely due for a new one myself. Maybe I'll put it on the list.
ReplyDeleteGreat cover, Toni! I'm not seeing the crookedness, but you could probably stretch a little into line, no? I think it looks fab!
ReplyDeleteI hesitate making a cover cuz I seem to muck them up so quickly! ;-/ This is lovely though. And yes I like the Pearl Bracelets alot!
ReplyDeleteNow I can hardly use my old and dirty ironing board cover any longer. I have to order a new one at ...?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I want to recover mine, but the cover is still in decent shape. Maybe I could "accidently" iron some fusible interfacing on it or something...
