Cover up

Cover I made an ironing board cover this weekend using a fun decorator weight Moda print.   Do you recognize it?  It's from the MoMo Wonderland collection.


I used this Moda Bake Shop tutorial for instructions, but I did not sandwich and quilt this, it's just one layer of the decorator weight fabric.


My "board" (hey du-u-u-de, do I sound like a surfer?) gets a lot of use and I like using lots of steam in my iron, so I imagine in a few hours, this will look as icky as the one I have on it now, so I will save this to take to my quilt retreat.   We leave one week from tomorrow and this will look great on my ironing board!

  3. Your board is amazing, I love it! It will be the talk of the retreat I'm sure!
    So where does one get this decorator weight fabric...that sounds perfect for an ironing board cover. I really need to replace mine, having a pretty one makes it all the more fun!

  4. Fantastic cover. If I made one I would hate to use it because it would get all dirty.
    I think I would have to save it for a retreat too! LOL!

  7. My life changed for the better when a friend gave me a new pretty ironing board cover. My heart lightens everytime I look at it!
    Where did you find the heavy weight Moda fabric? My cover is still in great shape, but I know the day will come when I need a new one.

  11. How bright and cheerful. I need to re-cover my old stained June Laylor with the very in-accurate measuring tape printed on it. I think I have just right fabric for it too! Yea!! :)Thanks for the inspiration, Lisa.

  15. so how does it look now? up for posing or sending an updated pic?? I have the same problem - get/make something new and then a few days later it look icky! I was thinking about getting a new, fancy iron - hoping that would help - likely I am just being naive.
