Quilt in a Day Forums

My father made my ironing board, just thick piece plywood, wrapped with your iron fabric, old bed sheet underneath, all tucked in at corners with basting stitch then a 1/4 inch elastic. It looks like a surf board. No feet or anything. It leans against my sink, 2 chairs, and slides behind counter easily... Great for camping serves as a bench or picnic counter.

Maybe if you have handy andy in your home, and if you want legs then screw holes, and add from hardware dept.

Better yet, hardware staff could cut one for you just trace on free press your pattern.. Does it help... Old wood hanging around the house? Even if you pay him something.. My ways are maybe old fashion, but I make do..

Ladies, I was just viewing Annie's Patterns Central, and came across a pattern to make an ironing board from your TV Tray table, Need 1fat quarter, heat resist batting, measures 21X16.5 @ $3.49, guess + shipping, taxes, Cdn exchange. Look like neat idea, and maybe a handy talented could sell them..

What is in the plans when I convert a spare bedroom to new quilting room is a One leg swing out leg table that will attach to the wall. Reminds me of the old built in ironing boards from the 30's. I saw the design on a DIY show for a small kitchen table but it will work for me as cutting table and over sized Ironing board.I think they called the leg a gate leg. The beauty is that I can pick the size I want.
