Fresh Ironing Board Covers
My ironing board cover was looking pretty terrible, so I recovered it.
I used this funny vintage fabric, a package of double fold bias tape, and this YouTube tutorial. It makes ironing much more pleasant.
While I was at it, I also recovered the ironing pad I keep next to my sewing machine.
I covered it with another piece of vintage fabric by just folding it over to the back side and taping it down with blue painter's tape.
It's amazing the things that will give you a fresh lease on life.

two great projects must check out the video as both mine need doing, never thought to hang my board from the back of the door but will be doing that now too
Love that vintage fabric!!
My ironing board cover could use freshening up too, now that you mention it. Doubt I'll be tackling it any time soon though!
