Here is my new ironing board, I just couldn't wait, I went to town last night and bought Amy Butler's midwest modern 2 in pink of course, it is the Sunset color way. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Actually it is my first piece of Amy Butler fabric. I have always wanted something to make out of her fabric, so now I have.It took 1 and 3/4 yard for the length, but you only use 22" wide. I took off the cover I had and traced it on the new fabric, left enough around the edges to make a casing and ran 1/4" elastic inside, put the old cover back on and put my new "dress" on top of the cover...plus I have 1 and 3/4 yard of 22" wide left over for something else! Hooray for Jen for her fabulous idea! I liked her Amy Butler print too, but this is all I could find last minute!

Very pretty dress! I love everything Amy Butler.
It is pink. Love it.
You girls are inspiring to do something about my wretched cover!
Woohoo Sheri! Awesome cover! I love that print. I'm taking a bag class in March and deciding what fabric to use. I think you just picked it out for me!
Love the cover!
Gorgeous - everything looks better when it is adorned in Amy Butler fabric!
Great idea, and great fabric! I found a neat cover at TJ Maxx tonight, and decided to go the easy way and buy it instead of making one. I'm excited to put it on, and will most likely post pictures someday soon. Maybe all these pretty covers will help us be more excited about the ironing part of quilting!
Sheri, love the ironing board cover..too cool for school...
