What Sport Starts With X

-Let's make the ironing board cover - tutorial

My ironing board was really bad shape so I started urgent work and thought I'd take some pictures to give you this simple tutorial .


The fabric that I chose I stato regalato dalla mia cara amica Eleonora quando si รจ trasferita in Svezia.
Lo trovo perfetto per l'uso, leggermente elasticizzato in entrambe le direzioni, con un disegno che mi semplifica il taglio e con un colore che mi rilassa.

Ho appoggiato il tessuto sopra l'asse e l'ho fermato con degli spilli. Ho segnato il contorno con un pennarello evanescente per tessuti.


Ho ritagliato la mia sagoma, lasciando 1 cm di margine di taglio, e ne ho misurato il perimento.
Ho tagliato delle strisce di stoffa alte circa 8/10 cm per una lunghezza sufficiente a coprire the entire perimeter.

If you like, but is not required especially if you keep under the old cap-axis, cut a piece of flannel the same size of frame. I preferred to do it because I like to have the axis a bit 'soft.


I joined all the bands to form a single, finished a narrow side and folded in half. I bet with a pin from the center back (see photos that you understand better!).

I've sewn all around to about 15 cm from the beginning. I stopped, I cut the excess fabric and finished close to the other side.
I finished sewing the end and I finished with overlock the edges (this is not mandatory or even feasible with the sewing machine with the appropriate point).


Last thing, I spent inside an elastic band and I curled as you see in this picture.


And here's my new ironing board!
now will be more pleasant ironing and every time I use it (so almost every day ...) I remember my dear friend. Thanks Eleanor !


I hope this project will be useful, it is simple, is done in less than an hour, perfect fit, even if any axis has a particular shape, can be a way to use maybe there are some tissues for too long and certainly will save several pennies.

A kiss hello
