Sew a custom sized wool ironing board cover. 

Thanks Marie! Now I know what a bodkin is and no longer need to use a large safety pin!

this was very helpful - have never seen an angry hook before - very useful!

I love the idea of using wool fabric ,years ago I got a very big ironing board from my local supermarket but thay don't sell the covers for them. I will have to go shopping tomorrow thank you

Oh my! I didn't know I needed one of these! But I shall not rest till I have one! TY sooo much for posting this.

I showed the last couple of minutes of this to my husband as I was intrigued by those "angry hooks". He hadn't heard of them either, but they're exactly what I need to keep my ironing board cover in place! Guess what we'll be searching for online tomorrow... 😁 Thank you for a really helpful and interesting video, Marie!

What a lovely surprise to see you today Marie and just when I thought I had to wait for another week before you posted😊. Great video tooxx

I have a wool blanket my mom had someone make from wool coats she sent away to be made into blankets. I was about 8 years old or 72 years ago. I am going to try this wonderful project to now repurpose the blanket. It has been in the cedar chest all these years. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. I have a box of tricks like your bag of tricks. I also have enough of the silver fabric to make a new top if my current one shrinks... I could also air dry it. You are so thoughtful to share this great idea.

I love that ironing board cover! I thought I was the only one who had multiple layers on my ironing board! I think it irons better when it’s soft and a little bit spongy. I have an old tiny wooden ironing board that I like very much because it’s longer. I also found a really cool, very small kind of industrial iron. It’s the kind that has a lid that you pulled down, but it’s much smaller than the larger ones I’ve seen. I’d like to make a cover for that too. Thank you so much Marie this is really a mighty fine post.

This tutorial is fantastic and incredibly helpful! Thank you for sharing your time and talent.

Very nice. I love the resourcefulness of using up every bit of pieces left from previous projects. You now have an "ironing board cover of many colors" 😊

Really useful video and a bonus. Thanks Marie😊

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed to encourage me to fix my ironing board cover ❤

Marie, I think you are mistaken, we are in fact under the ironing board to see your cat. Seeing your beautiful work and the bottom of your ironing board was simply a wonderful bonus 😂❤

Great video, Marie! I never even thought to make my own ironing board cover! I will definitely be making one now! Thanks!

I enjoy your vlogs as you explain them very well also like when you are making a garment how you explain how you are altering your pattern s i find it very useful thank you so much look forward to your next vlog x

YES!!! my is awful, great idea Marie!

Thanks - you read my mind! I need to do this asap.

Great helpful video. Thank you!

I have multiple layers on my ironing board too😊

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Yes was very helpful thank you.

If you wet your silver cover can you stretch it out to fit your ironing board?

Thank you, I will be making a new cover🪷

This is great! My ironing board is a smaller length so it’s sometimes hard to find the perfect size cover. Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing this! I love the idea of using wool for the cover! Brilliant! I’ll be replacing my ironing set up soon and now plan on sewing up a wool cover for it. 😀 i plan to follow your leas on using a cord instead of elastic.

Not at all strange....thank you!

Just in time! I need to replace my ironing board cover and was wondering what to do! I love your wool idea! Those are EXPENSIVE to purchase! And it's good to know that I can keep layering my covers! Also, cute black kitty!

The next time I find some wool in a thrift shop, I'll know what to do with it.

Nice job. It looks so professional.

Thanks for the idea of using wool as a cover. Never thought of that but I like the idea better than what I was going to use. ❤👍👏

The cat will love the wool. I need to make a new cover as I can no longer buy the proper one. However, it is because I have a (actually 2 as I have my mother's) Sears ironing board from the late '50's/early'60's which has a lever that makes it either the shape of yours or extends flanges to make it a rectangle. I cannot tell you how much I love this ironing board. Usually it is in the rectangular mode and only occasionally do I slide the flanges in for a particular use when ironing tops of pants, etc. I know the silver fabric is available.....now to actually get it.

👍🏻❤️

awesome i had a stroke in july everything is slow now maybe when you change could i have the wool cover for template thank you.

Thank you! Good information. Now I need to think of a reason NOT to make one!🤣
