Vintage Board

Time for a new ironing board cover, don't you think? 

Don't judge me. It hasn't been a priority.

This is obviously the cover it came with, when we got it as a wedding present. It's had a good 13 year run. Ironing is not my thing, so it has mostly been used for quilting and other sewing projects. I would be very afraid to iron anything wearable on it at this point. It's defifnitely an eyesore whenever it's out. Lately it's been out quite a bit.

 I turned to my increasingly growing stash of vintage sheets (as it is my plan to make at least one quilt out of them).

Why not make a new cover? So here it is:


 Much better.

Now I might even iron hubby's non-wrinkle free shirts.
