Cover Me

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!

  5. So 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.

  13. Great cover, Toni! I'm not seeing the crookedness, but you could probably stretch a little into line, no? I think it looks fab!

  16. Very 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...
