Re-Purposed Into Ironing Board Cover

While auditioning fabrics to create a new 

ironing board cover to coordinate with grey for my studio,

I came across this grey/purple batik fabric that was 

once a valance in my kitchen.  A few unstitched

seams, covering the expired ironing board cover, 

and a bit of muscle from Hubby installing it,

and viola, a "new" ironing board cover

without going to the store.

Patience Via Slow Stitching

Many explain they don't have patience for hand stitching,

and I believe it builds patience in me. 

Slow stitching is so rewarding and 

offers time to think and meditate. Both good for the soul and

highly recommended.  

See more info on this creation here.
Available for sale here.

Cutting & Rearranging

It's a risk to cut into pieced fabric.

Yet, I obtained a hand dyed piece recently

that had batting and backing already attached.

I made a few cuts and rearranged and plan to 

hand applique additional blue hand dyed strips

 to camouflage the divisions.

My plan is to do lots of hand stitching next.

we each in our  Surface Design Group 

brought various types of our acrylic and textile paints
