Ironing Board Update
Well, it was time…actually it has been time for awhile to update my sad ironing board cover. I gave some thought to taking a before picture but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I’m pretty sure you all would have thought I didn’t know how to iron–given the amount of burn marks and holes on my old ironing board cover.
I used this great tutorial over on Randi’s blog. It took maybe 2 hours from start to finish and that’s pushing it. So, if you’ve been looking for a quick easy new update for your ironing board this is the tute for you.
I decided to dig into some Paula Prass fabric I’ve been hanging onto. I wanted something bright and fun and this fit the bill. I paired it with two Heather Bailey fabrics. And I left the selvage intact on the Paula Prass fabric–love those colorful dots.
If you fancy a redo of your own here are some more great tutorials:

Your old cover sure did get a good workout!! This one is spectacular! I’m thinking at some point in the future you need to show a picture of this same cover in its ‘well loved’ state! 🙂
Your ironing board cover is amazing and the fabric is gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing!
I just love that fabric! I think I would smile every time I looked at it. Great project!
That looks so nice I’d hate to put a hot iron on it! Nice job.
Very pretty!
Your board cover is so pretty ~ I’d never want to iron on it!
Thanks for the link on how to make one.
Thanks for the linky love! 🙂 I love the board– it’s gorgeous! I’m already thinking of redoing mine to a more neutral color for pictures.
Now that is a beautiful cover. If you are like me,I keep my ironing board up all the time. What a pleasant sight to see.
Love your new ironing board cover. The fabrics are so sweet.
