Karyn!!! Turned out wonderful! I went with the half inch! A little bit wider where the button holes went. I reinforced the button holes with a little fusible interfacing. Love my new cute ironing board cover. Here is a direct link to a picture. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c113/ChelleWeezie/DCP_2241.jpg

hi michelle – as long as your cord for the drawstring can fit comfortably within the 1/2″ seam allowance, that is what i would use. If your cord is thicker, than you can adjust it to 3/4″. let me know how it goes!

Hi.. when you fold in the serged edge, is that really a 1/2 inch?? In the picture it looks more like 1 inch. I am just clarifying, I don’t want to have to unpick something.

This is fabulous. I’m so tired of staring at the hideous cover on my ironing board. I’m now inspired! Time to shop in my stash.

hey – I just finished this (almost, need some batting) and the only thing I thought was off was the 1/2 inch fold, it looks more like a whole inch, and it was really hard for me to pin 1/2 inch over so I just did an inch, and it’s perfect.

Bravo! Great tutorial I have been meaning to sew myself another ironing board cover for awhile, however I didn’t feel like going out and spending money on elastic. I’m glad you showed us how to do it with twine- now THAT I have laying around the house for free!
