I made one of those about 25 years ago. I put a layer of carpet pad under the batting and it last for about 15 years before I replaced it. I use some heavy canvas to cover it and then made a cover of white denium with a drawstring all around so I could remove and wash it.
Gosh What a great idea with heavier cotton just bought a big roll from the red cross will be great for ironing on and Will make a portable one Thank You from Sweden 🇸🇪
I'm glad to see you using wood glue, I used staples and am always catching it on things, and the backing you chose to keep it from slipping, ingenious!
Great video! I have been wanting to make one to sit close by my sewing machine. Now I know what supplies to get. Also, as I was watching I thought a handle would be nice. That would make it easier to carry from one place to another. Thanks for all your instructional videos.
great tip about the baby wipes never thought of keeping a pack in my sewing room but they would come in handy when i use glue always end up with glue on my fingers,
Depends on how much starch/sizing overspray you accumulate on the surface. With minimal use of those products the cover can last for years. With high use, a few months or so.
Kim, I have always wanted to make one but was not sure on what fabric to us. Ikea is not close to drive to. Can I just use regular cotton fabric or do I need something heavier?
