What a great idea! I too have 3 boards like you all with covers in wildly different patterns and colours. It never occured to me that I could make my own matching covers for them all. So thank you for sharing this one.

LOVE your idea of matching prints! Thanks for sharing. Carla

Beautiful, Dale! The koi fabric looks so refreshing. I did this too, several years ago and the board still has the same cover. I got fed up with paying $14US for a cover I could make. I zigzagged with a wide stitch, over durable string and pulled the string tight to shape the cover over the board. (I was too lazy to make a casing). I also used Insulbrite to help with the heat protection. I know batting works well as I've recently redone my sewing room and now have a pressing surface (an old table top) with batting.

Great job. Love the idea of using bias binding as a casing for the elastic.

Much prettier than store bought and I'm sure they are better built. What a perfect addition to a sewing room.

What a good idea. I also have three boards (different sizes). I like the idea of matching.

Looks great Dale. Makes me embarassed about my tattered ironing board cover.......must do something about that.

I will definitely follow your example here--I love this.

Very nice. My ironing board could probably use a new cover, but it isn't likely to get one any time soon!
