Thank you Caroline for sending in this super detailed tutorial for making your own ironing board cover: Everyone should have a funky ironing board cover, not that we ladies ever actually like ironing the clothes or anything, but a good first step is a good looking board cover, not an icky store bought, badly designed and constructed one. And as you know, if you are a sewer you need your board up for action most of the time!

thanks Julie for sending in this tutorial link – patchwork ironing board cover: I sew for living, which means that I find myself spending a lot of quality time at my ironing board. I go thru those store bought (and not very attractive) covers a lot, so I decided to pretty up ironing board, using the contents of my scrap basket, and not only is it great to look at, but it turned out to be quiet sturdy and with a nice thickness that will last me a long time.
