Just a suggestion, when you make your next cover, use 1'' gingham fabric (I used navy and white) then you have straight lines for pressing your seams against. I also used wool wadding or a heavy felted wool fabric instead of cotton wadding on marine ply - it gives better heat transference and steam distribution.

I haven't had a chance to read the comments yet, so hopefully this is new to some of you. Before attaching the batting, I wrap the whole board with tin foil, shiny side out. This bounces the heat back out at the material. Works amazingly well. Had a friend test it against her wool mat ... she gave her wool mat to her sister and is now using a board set up my way. Good luck.

Would love to chime in also. I have the best ironing board. I used to sew a lot of drapery, etc. it’s plywood then pink insulation foam board (Home Depot), 2-3 layers of regular fleece fabric, and lastly heavy cotton canvas. The foam board is heat proof and mold proof, pinnable and light weight, the fleece dries quickly (I use a lot of steam) and also takes the heat because it’s covered with heavy canvas. and I’ve had it for 20 years. Definitely use common sense and preshrink the canvas. I have a very leaky iron and the stains wash right out.

Thank you for the video. Always nice to see how people do the same thing differently. Please prewash any fabric you plan on using for a top. There is sizing and extra dyes in the fabric which you do not want transferred to a white or light fabric. I covered my board with tin foil first then 2 layers of batting just on top and hanging over about 3 inches on all sides. I made my top with a drawstring hem that goes under the board by 6 inches all around when drawn up tight. Easy to take off for washing. The batting does not move at all because the drawstring top holds everything in place. No staples, no velcro, just sew a hem to put a drawstring thru. I used paracord. But I applaud your idea of making it double sided. I might make a second top to have on hand when the other is in the wash. Thank you for all you do!

Hi, i’d just sew the fourth side closed on my sewing machine using a little larger stitch. To take off, use your “magic” seam riper, or scissors. Why waste all that velcro and have a lumpy ridge on the underside? Also, use batting with aluminum layer on one side to protect the wood. Or, first cover wood with aluminum foil. There is ironing board fabric, by yard, too if you can find it. I used a bread board to have a small ironing surface near my machine for my mini iron. If I were to redo, I’d look for fabric with a grid pattern, even gingham, to help alignment.

Just a couple small things to consider. First get some sand paper (120 or 220), wrap around a piece of scrap wood, and SAND the corners rounded. Smacking on the ground might cause layer separation which could make ironing ...odd. Second, I would suggest to ALWAYS sand the edges of the plywood with 220 paper. mildly rounding the edge, to keep from catching a splinter when you're putting on the first layer of batting. (Bonus, provided you have a day or two extra: Put one a few layers of water-based spray polyurethane to seal and protect the plywood., as well as protecting your batting.)

To keep your board dry so that it doesn't warp or separate, wrap aluminum foil around your board with the shiny side out. This also will protect your batting and the foil will transfer the heat back up to your fabric. With the removable and washable cover, it will last longer and if you ever do have to replace it at some point, the only thing you will have to replace is the cover because your board and batting were protected by the aluminum foil. I would personally use a muslin fabric or Ironing board fabric for the cover so that when you are ironing a wet starched fabric, none of the colors from your cover will bleed into your fabric.

@@SewYeahYes! Sand all the edges with some 220 grit sandpaper. Do this outside. Put the sandpaper over something hard and flat that will fit in your hand while sanding. There are lots of different types of plywood. Make sure you get interior grade that is perfectly smooth. Plywood will remain flat regardless of moisture in the air. It looks like you are using 1/4” thickness which bends a little, 1/2” will not flex but is a lot heavier and more expensive. This type of plywood is commonly sold in 2 foot by 4 foot lengths in any home improvement store. The store may make a free cut for you if you wanted it cut smaller. Do not paint or use a finish on the plywood, just use it raw.

I don’t think you mentioned but what thickness of plywood did you get?

It's really up to you! Whatever thickness you feel works best. We used a pretty thin board, maybe 1/2-1 inch thick. Thanks for watching!

If you are going to wash it, why wouldn’t you prewash the fabric so that you have already accounted for the shrinkage?

Yes, prewash is a must! Sorry for not showing it on the video. Thanks so much for watching!🎈❤😊

Why don't just a pillow case and put the velcro on both the inside that way when you need to take it off you just open the edge and take it off. I did that with some of my sofa cushions.
