Stripe for ironing boards from what to do. Hauling fabric on ironing board with your own hands. The easiest way to replace the Ironing Board Cover

My ironing board is exactly 10 years old.

Gave me her mother with the hope that the daughter becomes a good wife :) This daughter was very raining and got married in 18 years with the words: I will not cook! I will not stroke! And on the list to the phrase - you married a housewife!

And how was my husband married so much, I still wonder? :))

My mother, slowly brought the house to our house different "utility" - frying pan, irons, dishes ... - Mom wise man and of course I understood that at some point my hands will take away for all this. So it happened! A raging wife has grown its plumbiness and has become more flexible and "home" :))

But it is time to return to the ironing board.

Recently, it was already scary to look at it - the fabric in divorces from the scale of the iron, wung on bends and somewhere there are even holes, and still all sorts of glue and thermal permissions pushed their traces. From this itching on the board was not only not pleasant, but also dangerous - divorces were imprinted on the fabric I stroked. I stroke on her I stopped and did it on the table, which is very uncomfortable, since the table is always busy and before ironing, it was necessary to clean it, wipe, shove ...

And what to say - ironing board item is necessary. And I decided that it was time to finish with this uncomfortable ironing!

It is necessary to give only time an hour and drag the ironing board! Here there may be arguing, which will say - easier to sew / buy a case. I agree, but!

1. "Native" cloth ironing board is that it is necessary to get rid of it! Divorces from it can go to the case.

2. I wanted to compact the ironing board under the fabric, in order for its edges to become softer (there were no clear lines from the size of the ironing board, for example, when ironing bed linen)

All remake cost me at 280 !!! rubles and hour of work.

So we need one and a half meters long and 45 cm width fabric, such as cotton as in my case.

1.5 meters of batting (80 cm width) or any other seal, such as foam rubber. Vatin is cheap and soft - chose it.

i apologize for the dark photos - I made MK in the evening, with artificial lighting: (

and tools: scissors, stapler for furniture, chalk, knife with a short blade (not in the photo)

i turn over the ironing board

and around the perimeter pull out old brackets

it is better to make a knife with a sharp and short blade. And even better male Hands. This most difficult operation and my husband performed for me

under the old rag, it turned out to be old and sooooo loose foam

throwing thoroughly, and we shift the fabric to a new one and supply chalk contour

i cut the fabric with a 2-minute intake + 3 cm around the perimeter with the calculation to a thicker seal.

now we fold in half batting and cut it out

the photo shows that the batting is already carved - everything is right - when we will be stolen, then the fabric will be converted, and the batting is not.

now install the ironing board centered

and starting from the middle, flexing the edges of the fabric inside inserting brackets (it also did a husband - I did not have enough strength)

Now that the corners do not shrink all extra batting and fabric (but do not forget that the fabric will need to be converted)

gently convert the fabric and form smooth corners

now you can also twist the breakdown screws and tinkering the flowered paint.

I turn over and rejoice :)

Hands so and stretched something urgently stroking :))

So joyfully - minimum financial and time costs, and what kind of update :)))

In the future it will be possible to sew a cover on an elastic band or just more often change clothes with its ironing board.

I hope that this MC will encourage the desire to update its "workhorse" and make your needweller corner even more cute heart.

The cover of the ironing board, depending on the intensity of its use, sooner or later, it is necessary not only to wash, but also change. From time and high temperatures, the fabric of the cover comes in complete disrepair and to "refresh" appearance Ironing board, be sure to need new case.
If you have a sewing machine, it is completely easy to sew a new case with a rubber band, installed along the edge. You can and other way to consolidate it on a ironing board, for example, insert a rope and tighten it into the bending. Such a case usually has to be used for a metal ironing board or a mesh surface board bundled with a steam iron. But for the ironing board with a wooden countertop it is not necessary to sew a new case. The surface of the board can be dragged with a stapler. This method is especially convenient to use the fact that the cato has no sewing machine.
Technologist Atelier offers you two ways, as quickly and just make a cover on the ironing board with your own hands.

1. The easiest way to replace the cry of ironing board

It is not necessary to sew a cover for ironing board. The board with a wooden countertop can be simply dragging, securing the cloth with furniture paper clips. But at first it is necessary to remove the old case along with the gasket from the insulation, because in a wet state it will quickly pollute the new case, especially if it is from white fabric.

If you leave the old gasket, and the more you will not remove the worn tissue upholstery of the board, it is advisable to use colored fabrics for sewing or hauling. Ideally, a cotton fabric is suitable for a cover, such as a hawker, but mix light fabrics can also be used. The main thing is that they do not learn and have not spoiled bright things during ironing. By the way, experienced tailors when ironing light products on top of the board are pure white cloth.

2. How much tissue and batting need for a cover

To drag an ironing board table top you need to buy 0.6 meters of cotton fabric and as much insulation. For a cover, it is advisable to use a white (bleached) hazard, and for laying - light batting. The width of the fabric and batting should be at least 150 cm. It is enough to buy 300 rubles for the purchase of these materials.
Another thing to buy a furniture stapler, the price of which is at least 400 rubles, and it will be needed quite rarely. However, the stapler can come in handy not only for the glue of ironing board. If your home has upholstered furniture, the upholstery of which also need to "refresh", then these costs will be justified. Instead of sewing covers on the chairs much more convenient and easier will simply drag them. The stapler is indispensable and when replacing the upholstery of the office, computer chair. However, if you do not need to buy a stapler, you can do it instead of a clipper with small postal cloves. Just do not clog the nails completely into the board, but bend them.

3. How to fix and pull the cloth cover

Regardless of how you will attach the edge of the cover to the tabletop (paper clips or nails), tensioning the fabric is needed by a specific scheme. Secure the rear side of the cover at first clips first, then pull the fabric in front and put a clip in the center. From the center (in the left and right side) alternately pull up the fabric and fix it with clips or nails.
Note that it is only a preliminary fabric fixation. Finally secure the fabric, with a suspender, and lay the folds on the corners and roundings, it will be possible after fixing the side sections. The sides are fixed in the mirror image. Two, three clips in the center on the one hand, as much on the opposite side, etc.

Tensioning the fabric in this way, the cover will not have folds and overwhelmed areas. As for the pattern, only approximate allowances are given in the diagram. It is possible for your board they will need to be corrected, cut off. But this you define only an experienced way when it will beaming fabric, because some areas can stretch, others on the contrary - to stretch. By the way, do not drag the cloth, the main thing is that the folds are not formed. Before you trigger, turn the bending to 3-4 cm internally, you can more or less.

Many modern ironing boards instead of pressed wood use lightweight metal alloys. And the table tops of ironing systems are generally a grid stretched in a metal frame. Some models are even installed below the fan that creates the air flow from below. This provides an additional drying of the fabric when ironing, creates a vacuum (sticking) or vice versa "prompts" fabric over the board. For such ironing boards, only a cover is required, to drag it with a stapler it will not succeed.

If you have a sewing machine and at least a small experience on it, then sew the cover on the ironing board can be literally per hour. Favor consumption of 150 cm wide is the same as for a hauling - 60cm. Insulation, as a rule, you do not have to change, because such boards it has a special structure and needs to be saved. This is especially important for ironing boards with lower air supply.

Turn over the board top legs and chalk circle the outline of the board on the involving side of the fabric. Then add 5-7cm, a maximum of 10 cm (in a circle), remove the board and the pattern is ready. You can "disassemble" an old case, running the bending and then the pattern will be much more accurate, but it is too troublesome and long. Moreover, the cover on the ironing board is not a case on a sofa or chair. Any inaccuracies will be "hidden" from the bottom of the table top. It will only have to decide what way to process the edge of the cover so that it does not slip from the board during the ironing and at the same time it was stretched, "like a string."

It is easiest to tighten the cover on the tabletop board using a rope inserted into the bending. The width of the bending should be at least 2 cm, since otherwise the cord can "slow down". Bending can be done different ways, for example, to spend the edge of the cover and turn into one layer or make a double bending, as well as for the curtain on the windows. Instead of the cord, you can insert a lining gum, then you will not need to weaken the cord when removing the cover to wipe it.
A rubber band can be touched around the edge of the cover. Just buy a hard gum, because from the puncture of the needle a gum will weaken and will tighten the case on the table top. Customize the gum is best with a wide line of zigzag with an almost maximum stitch length.

For more convenience during iron, an ironing board cover can be slightly "Improved". For example, to sew such a pocket, in which you can store the iron cleaning agent, sprayer, threads for sweeping, pads with needles, etc. But various flat pillows can be considered the most convenient and most importantly necessary for ironing boards. They are very effective when sheltering and driving breaks on the seams, removal of excess moisture from a retreating product, etc.
Make such a pillow from any thin fabric, including synthetic, and inward put several layers of batting or foam rubber.
For those who sew their own hands, various pads are often required for the truncation of sleeves and other hard-to-reach places. Replace the case for such a miniature ironing board in the same ways as the cover for the ironing board.

Sew a cover for an ironing board is a completely simple deal for the experienced seamstress. It is much more complicated to drag the dilated case of a mannequin of an old sample. To sewing such a cover, it is necessary to first make the exact patterns using the spinning part of the removed casing of the mannequin.

The tabletop of the ironing system has a number of additional features, not only bend air with a fan. The cover of such an ironing board may heat up to 90 degrees, which improves the process of ironing and drying.

The purchase of a new iron purchase is needed not only at its price, but also on the power of the Tan, the quality of the coating of the iron soles. Important value is the weight of the iron, the form of the handle, the volume of the steam chamber, etc.

In a set of ironing system, the iron must be steam or with a steam generator. The cost of such a system is quite high, so if you decide to sew a cover on the ironing board, use only high-quality fabrics.

The technology of sewing sheets on a rubber band is like a sewing technology technology for an ironing board. Often, clums are used to tension the corners of such a sheet, they can also be used to tension the Ironing Board cover.

Surely, if you break in the old cheek, many of us can find the old abandoned ironing board, that's how this. It is unusual compact, which makes it possible to use it anywhere: in the kitchen, in the corridor, on the balcony, in the sewing workshop, if there is such a thing ... - how to do it correctly - the topic of today's article.

For this kind of alteration you will need:

• felt, batting or other similar fabric for the substrate
• immediately Ironing Board
• cotton Catch or Teak
• rubber

Everyone was prepared - I will proceed to work:

1. Turn the ironing board to the unsettled batting and redraw on the cloth its shape.

If the batting is too thin, it can be folded in three or four layers and stop at the perimeter of the zigzag.

2. Using the pattern from the felt as a pattern, transfer the shape to Cotonn, additionally adds 8 cm from all sides.
3. Wrap it from the edge 2 cm throughout the perimeter and shoot on Overlock or sewing machine Stitching "Zigzag", thereby forming a gum for gum. Do not forget to leave a hole in a couple of centimeters to insert a gum through it later.
4. Using the pin, tighten the gum into the chute. Tie to the knot and burst the left slot.

5. Tension the cover on the ironing board and enjoy the new pleasant thing.

The case must be well fixed. In order to check it, test it with an iron. If the cover is fussing, navigate the seam and express the elastic band, then squeeze this place again.

Sometimes the updated old and favorite things bring much more joy and pleasant sensations than just purchased modern. And it is not at all by chance. After all, our life consists of people and things familiar to us and our belonging. And when you are surrounded by what you love, here it is, simple everyday happiness.

Measure your ironing board. Measure the length and width of your board. Measure only ironing surface, not including a stand for an iron, when you determine the length and measure the widest part, determining the width. Then you need to determine which edge of the board: rounded, wedge-shaped or stupid.

The process of ironing clothes and linen is far from everyone gives joy. And if you have to use a poor-quality iron or a pretty-shaped ironing board - and I don't want to start a process, because it will be difficult, and it will take much more. With how you can clean the iron so that it easily slides and stroked the fabric, we told you in other articles. In the same time, consider how to make a new cover on the ironing board with your own hands.

Ironing Board Case

Ironing board is the necessary and maintenance assistant to care for your clothing. Its surface must be smooth and clean. Regardless of how often you use it, the cover of the ironing boards over time comes into disrepair, and the ironing turns into torture. We will help you cope with this problem.

Phasepno consider the whole process. Let's start with the choice of materials.

What fabric to choose?

First you need to choose the material. A new case will serve you not one year if you choose it. The cloth for the Ironing Board cover must have the following characteristics:

• heat resistance - not to melt at high temperatures;
• density - durable and smooth, but not moving;
• do not lift.

Important! If there is a pattern on the canvas - fold in hot water and make sure the drawing will not be reprinted.

All these requirements are Cotton Matter:

• bleached hazard with a density of more than 145 gr / sq. M. - When buying, check with the seller or look at the label on which the density is indicated;
• satin;
• flannel.

Important! Choose a light fabric, without a picture, so that the matter is monophonic.

As for sizes - in order to sew a cover for ironing board with their own hands, you will need:

• 60-80 cm of fabric with a width of 220 cm.
• If the width of the canvas is less than 1.5 m, then the quantity must be calculated. To do this, measure the length of the board and width. Measure the most remote points. Then add 20 cm to the width, and multiply by 2. The resulting digit and will be the desired length.

Lining selection

Listening to the tips, you can choose the right lining.

The color of the material should be light tones, because under the influence of high temperatures and steam, your new cover will change the color.

Important! Usually choose white batting, felt, sintepon or foam rubber.

Preference is better to give white damp or felt. This type of matter has a natural basis and some roughness. Thanks to this, it will be more closely to lay down to the board, will not slide.

The seal from a synthetone or foam rubber under the influence of a hot steam will quickly come into disrepair.

Important! Wattin or felt need to buy as much as the fabric.

Sewing the cover on the ironing board with their own hands

Ironing boards in our time are more often released in the form of a metal frame, covered with a grid. For such models, the method is not suitable for the method, here you need to sew a cover on the ironing board with your own hands and pull it out.

We describe the stages of two ways, how to sew a cover with your own hands:

• With the first way, experienced seamstresses will easily cope.
• But the second is more suitable for beginners.

Important! Before proceeding with the sewing of the cover, you need to glue a blank to glue or shoot with brackets. All actions perform in the same session as when updating the wooden board.

Method 1

Material on a cover and lining - 60 cm with a width of tissue 220 cm. How to act:

1. Cut patterns as described above.
2. Edge:
   1. send a 0.5 cm around the circumference. And stroke the iron;
   2. bare 1 cm and schedule manually, then strain on the sewing machine, leave 1-1,5 cm. Skip, for pulling gum.

1. 1. The cord is covered with the same method, only the ends pull and tie tightly.
   2. The "lacing" method - you need to additionally make small loops from cord or tissue. Fasten them with a machine line throughout the circumference of the cover every 10-15 cm, symmetrically. Turn the cord from one end of the board to the middle, as if "cordless" shoes, and from the other - similarly, to the middle.
