Sewing Supplies
First things first! If you want to be able to wash your cover in the future, you need to pre-shrink your fabric! Throw it in the wash and dry it according to the instructions on the bolt at the fabric store. Usually you wash cold and dry at med heat. After it’s dry iron out all the wrinkles. Then you’re ready to start!
Turn your not so gorgeous ironing board upside down on top of your fabric. Line one edge about 3 1/2 inches away from the edge of the fabric, this way you have a good size piece of scrap fabric left on the other side!
Using a ruler or measuring tape cut the fabric 3 1/8″ away from the board edge. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
Flip your ironing board back on it’s legs. Now you’re going to press under 1/8″ along the edges of the piece you just cut. You will sew this under for a nice clean finish.
Stitch right on top of the newly pressed seam, it really doesn’t have to be perfect, just make sure the stitching goes through both layers.
Next take the fabric back over to the ironing board. Using a ruler or measuring tape press under 5/8″ along all the edges. Here’s the problem you’re going to run into. On the rounded edges (the two bottom corners and top rounded edge) the fabric is going to be hard to press evenly. Just do the best you can and you should end up with some creases like this picture below. We’ll fix that next.
Along the three rounded edges we are going to add a single row of gathering stitches. Here’s how. Sit down at your sewing machine, find the stitch length control. Change the stitch length to 4. Then just along the rounded edges stitch right on top of the other row of stitching you already have. Leave the thread tails long so you can easily gather them.
You already have the 5/8″ seam pressed down, so take a few pins {yuck, pins.. they are necessary for this} and pin the pressed edge down. It should pucker and NOT lay smoothly.
Next find the top thread of the gathering stitch you just added. Pull the long thread and bunch/gather the fabric to the middle of the curved edge. Like this:
Then smooth out the gathers until the fabric no longer puckers and lays smoothly against the top piece of fabric! Doesn’t that look so much better! Leave the pins in for the next step.
Sew on top of the clean finish seam you already have to create a casing for the elastic. Make sure you leave an opening to thread the elastic through. An inch should be plenty!
Hook a big safety pin onto the end of your elastic and start scrunching and pulling it through the casing. When you get back to where you started, hook the bobby pin onto the other end of the elastic. I ended up using exactly 2 yards for my ironing board. Slip your cover over your ironing board and cinch the elastic until the cover fits snugly. You may not need to cut anything off, but just make sure it fits right. When you have marked your elastic where it needs to be sew the two pieces of elastic together with a few rows of stitching. Then stitch the casing closed where you left the opening. OR if you are feeling lazy.. you can leave it open.
AND… You’re done! Slip your new cover on right over your old one. This will add extra padding and unless your fabric is sheer you shouldn’t be able to see your old ugly cover through it. This cover is washable! If you ever have the need, throw it in the wash and it will look like new! Now admire your beautiful new ironing board! Here’s a shot from underneath.
Whew, that looks so much better! I no longer have to be ashamed of leaving my ironing board sitting out for days. Trust me, it happens. Now all your friends and neighbors will be asking where you got that cute cover!
I get excited every time I pull it out! Off to the laundry room to start ironing in style!
