Ironing Board Cover...

It has been years since I made a ironing board cover.  At that time, I should have made more than one but I didn't and have regretted it ever since.  Why? because I haven't really felt like making another one.  Unfortunately, I had a hard time finding an ironing board cover that would fit my ironing board.  I tried at Target but returned every one that I purchased because even though the package said it would fit (i.e., 54" length) there was no way to get it on the ironing board because it was too short.  I finally gave up.  Then, sent the old ironing board cover that I had made through the wash which amazingly it survived.

Fast forward, I'm walking through Walmart and find this:

Isn't this a cute ironing board cover?  It's Better Homes & Garden version found here.  So, I decided to give it a try and it fits!  I don't know how well it will work but it looks much nicer than my very stained old ironing board cover.  I'm use to a cotton cover with cotton padding and the new cover is cotton cover with polyester padding. I didn't spend much on it so if it's a fail it won't hurt much.  It will certainly push me to make another cover.  I'm sure it I look I will find some more canvas somewhere in the stash.

Happy Stitching!
