Stripey goodness


OK, a new ironing board cover isn't the most exciting thing ever, but it's quite fun.  Previously, I've had mostly silver metallicised ones, but my last one was badly ripped (and the patches were always coming loose) and this was the best one I found - it has a metallicised cotton insert under it. One thing that's different is that it's a very long cover, so I had to cover the part of the board where the metal plate for setting the iron is. (I could have altered the cover, of course, but I didn't want to bother with that).  Now that I have a bit of metallicised cotton under the cover, I might just make my own cover next time - or not, depending on how creative I feel at the time. Hopefully this one will last a while and it won't be a decision I have to make soon...

Very bright and cheery! I bought a new ironing board late last year but am thinking that a pressing board would be more practical. The ironing board "gives" under pressure and I don't like that!

Nice and cheerful, just what you need if faced with lots of shirts!
