PJ's and IRONING BOARDS

my ironing board cover is always an eye sore.....uuggg.

and since i tend to sew a lot that means i use my ironing board a lot.

well i just could no longer bare to look at that ugly burned, torn covering.

mind you, i made a covering with in the last 18 months, it {the one i just replaced} was a blue check.

i bought a new covering for the ironing board at ikea but of course it did not fit properly, the store bought ones never do unless i want to cough up 30 dollars.....

i'm choking now!

so i ventured into my favorite store located in the "one butt" room known as my fabric storage room.

yes, i can hardly call it a sewing room since i can't fit in there to sew any longer. i envy all those beautiful sewing rooms i see on blogs, organized, everything put it in it's place and the floor vacuumed! 

i have come to believe these pictures are nothing short of a roost, if any sewing room is that clean it means...

 NO ONE IS SEWING IN THE ROOM.

which brings me to another short fall of mine,

i don't sew in my sewing room for the above mentioned reason and my sewing room is still a mess.

maybe i need therapy.

i did bring home a book from the library that was titled something to the fact of:

is your mess making you fat

i decided i neither wanted to answer the question nor wanted to read the book,

it went back to the library.

oh yeah, back to the ironing board cover,

i made a new one, this time pink checker!

it is so pretty i decided that the ironing board could stay in the living room.

if i put a lamp on it do you think anyone will notice it is an ironing board?

anyways...

i also made another pair of pj's from material i found in the " fabric storage room".

yes they are identical as the last pair of pj's i made, however this pair is from the top sheet otherwise known as the "flat sheet".

i even left the lace on one leg.

yes one leg, i thought i had the pattern set up so when i cut out the legs, the lace would be on the front of both legs.

when all said and sewn, i looked at the legs and thought; "how did that happen"?

i'm sure it has something to do with

if x=y and y=z , x must equal..... but as my mother in law would say,

" all you have is a lot of nothing"!

loved that lady...
