« Pat Sloan I am SO honored | Main | Pat Sloan this cracks me up »
You have heard me grumble about my ironing board the the cover... over .. and over.. and over again.
When I leave up my board you can see it from my front door, from my kitchen, from my desk, from my DECK even! And the blue stripe is darn ugly
So the other day I just put a piece of fabric over it.
So my question is...
Is THIS legal?
Sew On.. Sew On!! As you read this I'm on my way home from my fabulous trip to Texas! I go back next month to do it again!

Looks a lot like mine, but fancier. I have 2 pieces of unbleached muslin, the currently filthy one and the recently laundered replacement, that I spread over my disgusting ironing board cover. we can go to jail together, girlfriend.

Hahaha! Who really cares if it's legal? It's your ironing board, Pat, and if you like that red paisley (I sure do) more than the blue stripe, there you have it! I thought you would get a chuckle when I tell you that the cover for the ironing board in my club's laundry room is a babe in a bikini....do you think they're trying to attract men to the ironing board???

Legal it is, but you might want to check out my post about a Christmas gift from my quiltin buddy...

It just might give you another idea for that cover. LOL!!

Not only is it legal, it is brilliant. You solved your immediate problem with minimal time and effort. If the spirit moves you you can make this into a fitted cover, if not, then c'est la vie!

I would love to see an arial view of your work space! I'm good at organizing work spaces...we could hide the ironing board

It is perfectly legal. Why can't you have a pretty cover on your ironing board. It is after all your ironing board.
Posted by: Wanda | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 03:23 PM
It's legal as long as the quilt police don't see it :) I like the fabric, so why not make your board legit while giving her a makeover. I've seen some free ironing board cover patterns online.

Of course it is legal. We cover tables right? Why not the ironing board?
Posted by: Beth | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 02:12 PM
I love your new "cover" but how about putting a "big board" on it and then the new cover. You can also put one of your beautiful quilts over it when you are not working!
Posted by: Karen Mc | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 01:58 PM
It works for me! Now, any time you tire of the 'cover', it is so easy to change! Another plus is you could still use the fabric in a quilt if you needed it for a project. Change it with the month, or season, or whatever strikes your fancy. Make it a decorative statement!

Of course it's legal. Whatever it takes.

I say get some safety pins and tuck it under. Ironing board cover done! Looks great to me!
Posted by: Kari Ramsay | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 12:24 PM
Absolutely, it's legal! I may or may not be doing the same thing.

Ha! I updated mine and was so proud of it and I had a little weekend sewing retreat for a few friends and one of my friends (who has one of the fancy irons with a stand you sit it on) kept leaving the iron flat and by the end of the weekend it had ugly burn spots all over it (love her anyway!), I just can't win! I'll get a new cover soon and try it again. Love the fabric and I vote that it is legal!

Legal Schmegal... looks great!

I want to update my ironing board cover, also. I want something that looks cheery and un-ironing board like for the sewing room.
Posted by: Pat Derry | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 11:16 AM
I think it is great, after all you post about your ironing board it made me start thinking about mine. I think I am going to do the same thing, but will make it secure.
Posted by: Martha Patterson | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 09:59 AM
Absolutely and why not?!
Posted by: LoriD | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 09:52 AM
Fabulous look! And I think it shouts creativity lives here.
Posted by: Mary Ann | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 09:48 AM
This is why I love you guys! Smooches!
Posted by: pat | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 09:41 AM
Legal ? If you like it it is. I think it looks great
Posted by: Marlene | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 09:30 AM
I couldnt stand the look of my traveling size one that I take to classes so i took a colorful batik print and made my own cover. It makes me wonder why are ironing covers always made out of light fabrics.
Posted by: Kelly wenhold | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 09:29 AM
Looks fine to me legality has nothing to do with
It, this shoes the true you, and this is what we
Love about you Pat. Ironing board and all.
Posted by: Sally Johnson | Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 09:27 AM
Why not? If you like it, then do it. And I think that it is a great idea!
