Well, before I headed out, I thought that maybe I should try to post on Facebook and see if anyone has an ironing board that they aren't using. [I am a firm believer that anything you need is probably just sitting around in your neighbors house, unused and wasting away...you just have to find the right neighbor ;)]
GUESS WHAT?? I was right :) Within a few minutes, one of my neighbors messaged me about her annoying, unused old ironing board :) Ta-Da!!! :D
I popped over and grabbed it :) It didn't have a cover anymore, so I needed to make one. No problem!
I dug through my old upholstery fabric and found this fun red gingham. I threw it in the wash on HOT with a teaspoon of Synthrapol (BEST STUFF EVER!!) I used a few layers of left over batting and a top layer of Insul-Bright. I popped on some elastic and we were through! Right?
Not so much :( My elastic wouldn't hold the cover on tight :/ So, I did the next best thing :) Yarn and some really ugly sewing! But hey, It works ;)
Love it, especially the Yarn! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha... Ingenuity at it's finest! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right...Whatever works! Thanks for the laugh today. =)
ReplyDeletegotta love ingenuity! you're good! i'm looking for a new ironing board myself ... a retangular one and it looks as if i'll have to make one myself.
ReplyDeleteYep, awesomeness. :D *Love* the gingham!
ReplyDeleteYou made me snicker! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the yarn solution. :) The gingham looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. And you got something you need and your neighbour got rid of something they didn't... win/win. Love when those kinds of things happen.
