Lazy, or smartpants?

Even before I got the new sewing machine I was falling in love with tutorials I kept seeing for ironing board covers.  People are using fabulous vintage fabrics for their boards - sheets, tablecloths - and then getting to look at the prints every time they push the creases out of things.  What's not to be crazy about?  Even leaving out the fact that the edge of my ironing board cover somehow managed to get mildewed.

I was so all over the idea of making one myself.  And then the other day I was out shopping for a magazine organizer and...

Oh.

$10, favourite colours, print I love, padding included...

Sold.
