Yesterday at the UCC we gave our ironing boards a little makeover with some of our new Alexander Henry fabric. It turned out to be a super easy and fun project and a great way to make a kinda boring object a little more interesting. All you need to do is take the existing ironing board cover and pin it to your fabric, then cut around it with 1.5″ clearance. Then you fold over the edge twice about 1/2″ and iron, then sew right along the folded over edge to make a casing. The final step is to thread a cotton string through the casing and, voila! A brand new ironing board. A full size ironing board took 1 3/4″ of fabric and made 2 covers. We just got a ton of new fabric in, so come and check it out!
