The old, soon-to-be replaced ironing board cover. A product of bachelor-hood. Water stained. Thin and worn. Ugly, blue and white pattern. About to become my latest victim.
I had a VERY large chunk of retro-inspired, pink and floral fabric in my stash. Thanks to my Nana! I'm not really a pink person. But somehow, this fabric just seemed right for a new ironing board cover. Sweet, charming, and happy. This piece of fabric was so large in fact, I was able to skip a number of steps in the tutorial. The most tedious part of the whole thing was re-stringing the new cover. Regardless, the whole project seemed like cake and really boosted my sewing confidence.
