10438Great Job! I am ready to make a new one too... Have you seen those little clips that attach under the board, from side to side of the cover to keep the cover tighter? I saw some on Amazon. Thought about trying them too. I will have to do a casing, I don't have a serger, but sure love your idea!

Thank you! I haven't seen those clips and don't think I need them. I'll know more when I use the ironing board more.
13214A job well done! My Serger is over 10yrs old so don't know how I'd do this..
45917What a great job! I bought a used 910 serger and haven't had time to sit down to figure it out yet. I am inspired!
3290Wow, sounds great to use your serger. I have a really old one that didn't come with any additional feet but it would be a nice feature to have!
758812423Looks great - I have always made my ironing board covers but with the elastic encased. I think you have a great idea using the serger. I also have several different covers (for different jobs) as I use my ironing board so much - even cut out on it!!!!
25310778092Thank you for the link. I have made my own in the past, with a casing and am getting ready to make another one.
Just a hint: If you put tin foil under your fabric, you press both sides at the same time...

30631Excellent. I made a cover for mine with lots of batting underneath and a separate cover, now I have to redo them, and I think I want to use your method. Thanks

Thank you! I didn't make any batting. I just put the new one over the old one.
Try it! It's so fast and easy. As we don't need a casing, we don't need that much fabric. The more fabric, the more we need to gather. I only added 4 inches to my trace-out, but it's still too much, I think.
173580Beautiful work and a good idea to use a serger's elastic foot to attach elastics : I never tried to use it, but when I see your work i think I will try soon. Thank you for sharing and amitiés de France.

471423577you did a lovely job of it & since it is cotton it might shrink in hot water? ~hugs~

145789This is great! However it will take much more for me, than a pretty ironing board cover to convince me to iron....:-D Very nice thanks for the link. ;-)

I've said it for 58 years: An iron is a tailoring tool. You use it to press seams open, to press darts down, and then you put it away!
This one "hint" has added years to my life.
35301Well, now if I had such a great looking ironing board - I might actually WANT to iron! You did a terrific job! Thanks for the link.!
70753yes i,ve made a few in my day but now i use the wee board.
