Day 198 of 2019

I occasionally have to iron clothes.  

For this I have an over-the-door ironing board.  

I press quilt blocks on a flat surface which doesn't work as well for clothes.  

The cover that came with the board, the blue and white one in this picture, 

came pre-spotted and has a terrible, thin foam padding 

which is attached to the cover fabric making it non-replaceable. 

So today I finished making a new cover.  

I made the pattern based roughly on the old one 

and added two layers of cotton quilt batting. 

I'm sure I will be much happier with my new set up.
