My ironing board is a mess so I picked up some 100% cotton decorator fabric yesterday at JA's and fixed up my ironing board.

I burnt the orginal one with my iron, might have been some of my little helpers that contributed to the incident. Anyhow, I just traced the old cover and made this brand new one.

You can see a sample of my stash is the background, I was thinking of blocking it out but couldn't figure how to use the editing feature.

HOLY BIGGEBERS Pam! WOW, that's quite a stash! :eek: Why edit it out, we all need to see each other's stash! :D I wonder if mine would look like that if it was all on shelves instead of totes?

Very cool on the irnong board. I want to do the same, but am patiently waiting on my Amy Buter fabric.

oh - I think this is a very exciting post...especially with the beautiful stash in the background, lol! Seriously though...that's a gorgeous ironing board cover...I need to do the same! Did you use any sort of padding underneath?

i love the ironing board cover...that's an awesome stash too! i keep thinking i need to get some cubes and baskets for my sewing space...we'll see :)

Nice S&S, now move the ironing board so we can see the stash better! :D

Ahhh, purdy! I like the shape of your ironing board.

The ironing board cover is a nice idea and it looks great. I too am enjoying a glimpse of your stash. Such great colors going on back there.

Your before picture looks like mine does now. :p OK, I'm inspired. How did you do it? Trace around it --OK I see you did that, but then did you add some and elasticize?? It looks awesome!!

I shrunk ours! :rolleyes: . That looks just great, and I'm with Shecki - scoot the gorgeous ironing board over, that's SOME stash!!!

That's really cool, I like the fabric you chose. I really love the jammies in your siggy :)

Wow....what a nice stash. And that ironing board looks good too :)

very cool s n s!!

Wow that is really cool...and I too love that shape. Really neat :) Your stash is nice. I need to get some shelves so I have full view access of mine. LOL Like Meagan, mine is all "toted" away.

I am curious...does the cotton work good as a cover? I have always bought teh special non-staining, non-burning cover and well lets just say it ends up looking like your before! LOL. I just bought a new one 50% off JA so I will try this when this one says goodbye. :) Thanks for sharing....a very cool idea.

Thanks Heather! I think eventually the cover will look like the other one over time. I've had that one for three years and it's had quite a work out. Only warning I have is don't get anything with Poly in it or it will melt away. And I really didn't want to use a quilter's cotton because it's thinner, there's a metal mesh thing underneath and I like the thickness of the decorator fabric. There also a pad that was originally on it and I just reused that and added a layer of killington underneath as well to make it soft and plushy :)

Shecki & Kim~ You show me yours and I'll show you mine :D

That's part of my woven section of the stash :0 I love that I can see everything. I've sectioned everything off by types of fabric and then by boy or girls section with in those sections. But definately not as organized as I would like it.

Candy, I'd love to see your stashola :)

I recycled the same pad as it came with, it looks like a super dense cotton batting similar to warm and natural except twice the thickness.

WOW!! Great idea and stash in the background.

I have to admit though I spent more time viewing the stash then the cover.. I couldnt help it!! LOL!
