Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
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! Why edit it out, we all need to see each other's stash! 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?

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

Your before picture looks like mine does now. 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!!

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
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.
