More on the three months craft challenge.
Today, my project is making ironing board cover from guest-size towels using the Accuquilt’s Flying Geese (Triangle dies).
The ironing board cover that came with my ironing board got burnt due to the setting on the electric iron that I was using.
This ironing board cover that we made from towels is thick because of the density\ thickness of the towel.
Material Needed
Accuquilt® Go Big fabric cutter
Sewing machine
Tape measure
Elastic
Accuquilt Strip die
Accuquilt Flying Geese(Triangle) die
Towels -Guest size
Ironing Board
Sewing thread
Sewing pattern(optional)- I didn’t use it.
Step 1: Using the Accuquilt triangle die, cut the triangles from the towels.
Step 2: Sew one triangle to the other.
Step 3: Continue sewing the triangle to form the desired patchwork chart. Try it over the ironing board and make sure it covers the ironing board properly. Sew the backing fabric to cover the stitches at the back- this prevents the rough work of the towel stitches from fraying.
Step 4: Cut the strips for the binding.
Step 5: Bind the edges of the ironing board cover. Insert the elastic into the binding.
