First of all, you're absolutely right. The sound of scissors cutting is somehow soothing and reassuring for me. It takes me away from the pressures in my life. Thank you for sharing this video, and the tips you include. I was looking to make a padded ironing board cover. The one I have has gone quite stiff and had in the spot where I obviously do most of my ironing. Even when it's wzshed it remains stiff. This suggests to me that it must be a polyester material that has melted and fused but I can't see because there is a fabric backing. I think the simpler option is to make a couple of covers and update the separate padding using a wool or cotton batting using your tips. Best wishes, 🇦🇺💖🌹
Thank you! Just what I was looking for. My husband was super sweet in getting me an ironing board, but got me one that slopes down, making pressing a bit more of a challenge. I think this will fix it nicely.
Thanks so much for this; I just searched to do exactly what you've done here with wool batting I have; I so appreciate that lovely music, just the right volume and gently scissor sounds, haha. Subscribed.
Thank you for the idea. Would you please provide either a link or the exact name and inches of the cotton batting you used. I don't want to get it wrong.
Any 100% cotton batting will do. I got mine from a local store so I don’t have a link. Depending on how large your ironing board is will inform what size piece you want to get. Try to get enough for three layers with at least three or four inches on the sides.
No piano music, next time!!! I wanted to press out the wrinkles in the batting... haha 😄 And.... Cut a new cover out of decorator weight fabric & attached the original edging with the elastic!

Glad it was useful! Good luck with fixing it!

@@TheIntuitiveArtificer You are so kind to take the time to reply! Thank you!!
how many layers diid you add?
3 layers in addition to the original padding. I probably only needed two but I had the extra so I used it.

Well, I intend to make a new cover eventually but for now the functionality of the extra padding is what I was after.
