Sewing pattern: Ironing board cover with all the extras

I avoid ironing like the plague – unless it’s for my sewing, and then I’m all about the pressing. Eventually, all that ironing will wear out the standard cover that comes with your ironing board. When that happens, it’s time to make a new cover. But don’t settle for just a plain cover! Caroline from Sew Can She shows how you can make her Ultimate DIY Ironing Board Cover. This cover is packed with features like a fitted nose, a buckle across the back to hold it in place, and handy zip pockets hanging from the side.
