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!
