when I get back to Olympia, I will take a pix of my wonderful ironingboard cover. Now I have to make a new cover for the one here in Maine
I only use it for pressing seams and ironing fabric after I wash it

Here is a link to a custom made ironing board cover.

I always make my ironing board covers. You can make a pattern by turning your ironing board upside down, trace around the shape with a texta pen onto paper. I quilt the cover by using a print fabric and a pre quilted calico. I pin these two together and quilt on the pre quilted lines. Right side of print to wrong side of quilted calico. Pin your paper pattern onto the quilted fabric, allow 2 to 2 1/2 inches all around, cut out and add a casing for the elastic. Remember to prewash both the print fabric and the quilted calico. You will have made a good ftting well wearing ironing board cover.
