Anyway, enough talk of my nephew as I'm sure you're sick of it, though I do have more baby projects to show you. In the meantime, I finally got round to making a new ironing board cover. Do you want to see the old one? It's quite gross and covered in sticky bits of Bondaweb.
I don't know if you remember, but I was planning on using some lovely Amy Butler fabric I'd got from Prints to Polka Dots? Well it turned out I'd bought 1/2 metre cuts, so I had to find something that worked with them.
I used this fabulous tutorial by Randi at i have to say.
Now, when I took my old cover off, I realised that the pad was part of the cover... I didn't have my computer on (I'd printed the tutorial out) so I didn't know how to make a new one. Turns out it's pretty easy, must give that a go! At the minute, the new cover is just on over the old one!

Great job on the ironing board cover! Thanks for sharing the link on how to make one. Will have to give it a whirl! X
Looks fabulous, Wendy. Mine is so bad, I really must make a new one, but I couldn't possibly show a photo... LOL!!!
I always just put the new cover on top of the old cover - I have so many on there now that my board is now ... OVERpadded, lol! Your new cover is gorgeous - isn't it awful how grungy our boards get??! And there's just no washing the covers - they never come out clean! I need a new one too - mine is looking awful!
Nope, not sick of nephew talk - can't wait to see a picture of Auntie Wendy with Master Jacob - I bet you can't WAIT to hold him!
Lovely new ironing board cover - well done!

Good job girl! And I'm so excited to hear you're going to meet Jacob Saturday, I just know his Aunty is going to spoil him rotten....
Hope you had a lovely weekend with your new nephew, can't wait to see the photos.
Your ironing board puts mine to shame I will definitely have to check out that tutorial, and get cracking on a cover for my sadly neglected board :)
Awesome, makes me want to make a new one for my ironing board!

It looks so great! My ironing board also need a little refashion... or just would need... ironing is not my favourite housework, so I try to keep myself away from the board :)
Wow - that's the snazziest ironing board cover I've ever seen! It almost makes me want to do some ironing - and I never iron! Well, only for sewing purposes, never clothes!
