I have a similar set up - just wondering why you didn’t buy two of them which would have made it really sturdy and given you more storage space?
That was purely a budgetary decision. I’ll keep my eye on the cart and if it goes on sale, I can always add another one.
Just found the time to watch this episode. Then, asked the husband to watch. One trip to Lowe's and he's now out in the garage working away on my ironing station! A huge thank you for this genius of an idea!!! Will post photos later! You are a dear to share this diy with us 💗
Oh please do! I can’t wait to see it!!
This is great! I am also in the midst of a sewing space re-org and now I know what to do about the pressing space!
I find it so funny how often you do the same exact things as I do. I’m in the process of designing mine, I was going to make one for using at my machine though and it’s going under a table/ counter for quick press things. I’m using a table top ironing board. My table is a small tv stand I think, got it free from a friend and I’m putting castors on it as soon as I can figure out what will work with the bottom of the legs. I’m finally going to have a sewing space and this one is going to be over the top, ( I hope!) I’m almost moved in to my new place now and want to film the process. I would like to do a big board/ ironing station too like yours and probably would have already but somehow I always imagine lots of moisture getting trapped inside one like that. Is the way you layer it going to prevent that? I mean the product you used. The people I see who use them or have made them are smart and I can’t imagine them doing something soggy and mildest, haha. I’ll make one ASAP if it won’t get moldy in there for sure.
So I worried about the mold too. But the ironing board cover is super water resistant. Like water pools on top of it. So i don’t think any moisture is getting in.
I love this idea. I may be making this. I am in the middle of reorganizing my sewing room for better organization.
So good! Just today I was telling myself how frustrated I am with my ironing board. There’s about 12-15” on one end that holds all the stuff I need for projects. I’m definitely going to do something like this. Thank you Lindsey. 💗🙏🏼
I'm perplexed! My experience with MDF is that it's not great if it gets wet...it tends to swell up. Is there a waterproof version that you used?
This is a very cool idea! And an easy to follow video. Thanks!
The MDF doesn't get wet because the ironing board cover is waterproof. No steam or water gets through that stuff!
Why so many wrinkles ?
Great idea! Did you forget to put down a drop cloth to make sure you didn’t paint the concrete?
Lol. Yah!
Are all those materials expensive? Also what they are ?
The materials are in the description box. I think the whole thing cost me $100 maybe?
We have the same brand and color cart.. and use it the same way. I may just be over awed by the similarity because I haven't shook all the sleep from my head yet LOL. Now I am eyeing my microwave cart and wondering where I would put a larger pressing station ;) I just wish Joann would ship under 2 yards!
I have that cart. I let my husband use it but maybe I'll take it back now. I found it for like $15 at a massage place that had to close down due to pandemic. I may just put a June Tailor quilt and press board on it instead of constructing my own board.
Thank you so much for this idea. I have just completed the same thing and love, love, love it. Very pleased Aussie. Cheers Ros
Iron Maiden! That is lovely! Great work. If you had two rolling carts, one on each side, I wonder if it would be more stable or if it will be stable enough. I can't get over how much of a game changer a ham, a sleeve roll and a clapper-point and edge tool made in my sewing. Great to know about the ironing board fabric, I need that! You are hardcore ironing lady!
What a great idea! Unfortunately I have the smallest room in our house as a sewing room and there just isn't enough room for a permanently set up ironing board. I am lucky enough to own a very wide ironing board but again the end tapers. Your instructions are very clear. Good job!
Super cute and functional. I was going to make a top for my ironing board but I may do something like this.
Great idea and great job! If you wanted more storage you could have even used two carts.
Great idea, I’m getting ready to do the same, my table is coming today and my husband is going to add rollers to the legs. I needed more storage for pressing items, too! TFS!
Great job, sweetie. An inventive solution. You are a clever girl.
Please let us know how it goes as you start to use it... I have been wanting to get more storage in the space wasted under the ironing board but I’m too unsure about losing the tapered edge on my ironing board or switching to a table top board (which I hated because the legs interfered with dress and top hem pressing which could be circulating around underneath)
I've been using a cart like this (from IKEA) for 5 years, at least. I love it, and don't miss the tapered end at all. I do have a mini ironing board that I can put on top, in case I need a tapered end, and a sleeve board. I'll never go back to a regular ironing board. I just press dress/skirt hems differently now, not relying on them hanging under the board surface
That was so quick! Great job! I hope you love the extra storage
I do! Very very much!!!
Excellent idea!
I love this!
Great idea!
Beautiful!
Awesome!
Nice!
Love this! Would be a great way to use some thrifted furniture
