A couple of weeks ago, I bought a new ironing board after my older one faltered. I set it up and started to use it when I realized something was missing. See I'd added extra padding to my old ironing board and my new one was definitely missing it.

It's thin and every time I used the steam feature on my Rowenta it left drippy marks on the muslin. See the photo below...

So to solve this situation, I bought another cover and added to the top of the ironing board. Even this proved to be a little thin. So I added a layer of batting which was taken from the swag bag we were given at The McCalls Reception...the tag on the batting says it is Bosal - Foam, Fiber, Interfacing and Crafts.

I love the extra layers on the ironing board now. I can steam without the steam bouncing back to the top. I can stick pins into the ironing board and they stay! Hopefully this ironing board will serve me faithfully for another decade.
Has anyone else ever pimped out their ironing board?
...as always more later!

Then the second cover was added.
