Make a new one & throw the old one out.

I don't buy the regular ironing board covers. I use cotton batting as my padding and muslin for my cover. If you have a regular ironing board just pin under it, if you have a big board my husband made me I justlayer on and staple under side. Works wonderful.

My ironing board cover has a cover (LOL). I have a quick pattern for making a cotton cover which I put on over the original one. When it wears out or gets really ugly looking, I just toss it and make a new one.

I USUALLY THROW THEM AWAY UNLESS THEY ARE THE SILVER TEFLON TYPE AND THEN I WILL CUT AWAY THE GOOD PART TO PUT ON THE BOARD MY HUSBAND MADE ME (SMALL IRONING BOARD) FOR WHEN I AM WORKING ON APPLIQUE AND DON'T REALLY NEED THE BIG IRONING BOARD. LATELY SINCE I HAVE TWO OVER THE DOOR IRONING BOARDS AND FOUND THAT THE COVERS WERE HARD TO FIND I HAVE MADE MY OWN COVERS. SOME REAL CUTE ONE'S ARE MADE WITH THE SEWERS FABRIC THAT HAS PRINTS OF CUTTING MATS TOOLS ETC....
|
I've washed mine several times.
|
I make my own covers from decorator fabric on sale (cheap) @ JoAnn's. I just add a new one over the top of the old. They are EASY to make and I can change the LOOK and COLORS in my sewing room that way!
|
would love to have one of those again. They are great.
