I recently had to redo mine because it was just plain worn out. I tried one from a local store and the fabric in is scorched and ripped in a very short time-like two months. So I made one out of duck cloth. Cotton duck is not quite as heavy as canvas but very durable. I used a layer of 80/20 batting that I sewed onto the duck cloth-just the shape of the ironing board and put this over the pad that came with the board. I used a draw string to tighten it. I have used it for several months and it has no scorches or bad places.

I want to show you what I'm doing with my Ironing cover board: I made some measurements on it with a non watersoluble writer!!! so I can see when I'm ironing my scraps how big their are!!!

I have that ironing board too and it is next to impossible to find a new cover for it. I have had to make new ones to change out ever so often out of necessity! Yours looks really nice with the neutral print. I also made a fat quarter sized flat ironing board for my sewing desk and use a cover similar to a pillow case to change it out every couple weeks. It is a lazy girl's way of pressing. LOL...
