    looking forward to see how the ironing board cover goes! My ironing board cover is in very bad shape & I’d love to replace it- but want to see how this goes first. :-)

    I like that Metro Dot Black fabric but might find it a little distracting as an ironing board cover….

    I have been thinking lately that my ironing board cover was in desperate need of a makeover – I guess I need to pick out my fabric – always so hard to decide!!

    Love this pattern…I’ve always wanted to coordinate my ironing board to the rest of my sewing room since it’s out so often. =)

    What a great idea! I need to make myself a new ironing board cover. My old one is scorched and gross-looking.

    Thanks for the ironing board pattern-I’ll find some cute “conversational print” fabric for this project, to always make me smile.

    I’ve been really wanting to make the ironing board cover but my skills are very beginner-ish so I’ve been too intimidated. This will really help. Can’t wait to see the results!

    Oh, I want to see how the ironing board cover comes out. My son is using such a board at college (yes, he really does iron!) and being a garage sale find, it could use an enticing cover!

    i have thought for a long time that iron boards are in general need of a makeover – maybe your post is a sign that i should finally get to it?

    I sewed a new ironing board cover in January. It brightens up the sewing room so much, that I think it should be my first project every January.

    I love the contemporary look of the fabric and you won’t ever have to dig for the ironing board because it can’t be lost with that cover.

    I have a little ironing board like that in desperate need of this makeover! You may have just saved that little boards life.

    I just recovered my ironing board in a bright red and white stripe. It was so easy.
