Mini Ironing Board Cover Tutorial

I have been thinking for a while that I needed to make a new cover for my mini ironing board. The original one was super ugly and had some kind of weird foam padding. Yuck! I knew it wouldn't be difficult as I had already made several large ironing board covers. See tutorial HERE. 

I used a piece from my bolt of fabric that I won from Harmony and simply pinned the old cover to the new fabric to use as a pattern…

 Then I cut around it leaving about 1/2 inch of extra fabric…

I did the same with the icky foam. I had some batting left over from a quilt that was the perfect size…

I picked out some bias tape. I think I had made this the last time I was making ironing board covers! It is out of this Harmony fabric…

 I then followed the same instructions that I used for the large covers…

 Almost done…

I put the padding on first, then the cover and flipped the whole thing over. It was a lot easier to pull the strings tight when the cover was flat against the table…

 That's it! Isn't she pretty??? SOOOO much better than before.

 Aaaand, what will become of the old cover and foam? Pet bed stuffing of course.

Sheesh, that is full. I need to make some pet beds! Teresa
