After a frustrating search, I decided I'd make my own - my way. Bad decision - more frustration and still no new ironing board cover. Then I remembered Debra had a tutorial on her blog on how to make your own.
This morning, in less than 45 minutes I transformed this:
into this:
I took Debra's advice and used an upholstery weight fabric so hopefully it will last longer. I will never buy another ironing board cover again. It's the little things that make me happy.

Very pretty Irene! I make my own covers too as my board is also larger than standard. I use cotton twill, it's heavier than regular cotton and wears well. Happy ironing!
I like the little things too...
That's very pretty, and I'm so glad you mentioned the part about the upholstery-weight fabric because I missed that.
Thank you so much for the idea. I'm going to follow your example!
A new ironing board cover is one of life's little pleasures. I put a new one on my board last week.
Hope you're feeling a little better.
