I finally got around to a few projects that have been on my list of things to do with my Stamped fabric collection.
First, I covered an IKEA side table with my scalloped fabric and some batting to turn it into an ironing board. I simply removed the top piece of the table, wrapped it in aluminum foil, then added several layers of batting, then covered it in fabric and stapled the fabric to the underside. Then I put the tabletop back in place. You can also get heat-resistent batting made for hot pads and things, but I didn’t have enough on hand so I improvised with the aluminum foil. It works perfectly well and has more surface area than my previous ironing board, plus it frees up extra space and serves double duty with storage below. I’ve seen lots of other crafters do this, so maybe there’s a full tutorial somewhere?
And some quickie curtains for our laundry room. This is the circle flowers fabric, probably my favorite from the collection.
Then I covered my grandmother’s sewing stool with the triangles fabric. I have to say, I really enjoy using my staple gun. Watch out.
