Say hello to my new 'wide' ironing board.
Yes it has a rather strange shape compared to what we are used to here in the US.
This baby hails from Italy.
This is a wide end, sort of like my wide end! ;-)
It measure's 18" wide by 27" !
Nice pressing area for sewing!
No stains or tears on cover just need to tie it off on the bottom!
It totes a small friend on the underside!
TShe pops up to help iron sleeves or seams when sewing!
How cute is that!
All this for just $6.99 at the local DAV Thrift Store.
Stay tuned for yet more 'ironing' news!
Yes a HOT TIME at the ...and Sew On 'studio'!

I do not know where you can get a cover for this ironing board! If you find a source please let me know ad I will post it here.
My advice is to use a board cover tutorial (lots found online so do a search) and make your own.
A bed sheet or other nice wide piece of fabric will do.
Good luck and thanks for popping into too this post!
NICE!!!

Never saw a board shaped like that. Interesting. My hubby made me a extra wide "big board" which I use for everything I press. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have an ironing board just like this but I can't find a new cover for it. My ironing board is 57" long total and the wide part is 18" wide by about 30" long thanks Marnie
ReplyDeleteI have the same ironing board too. Any idea where I might find a new cover for it??? I'm desperate.
ReplyDeleteSame here...I've searched everywhere for this asymmetrical cover...no luck! Help!
ReplyDeleteI just found one today at my favorite thrift store. Ten Dollars. So sturdy. My linen spray doesn't fall on the floor. I can't imagine it would be that difficult to make a new cover. Use old one as pattern, Pull string through seam to tighten. Voila.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a cover as well anyone have any luck??
ReplyDeleteThis is called The Leifheit Dressfix XL Extra Wide ironing board. Try ironingboardcovershop.co.uk OR ebay@things4myhome.com for new replacement covers.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered new replacement cover for this kind of iron through laundrycompany.co.uk.
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad to find your post! I also found one of these neat big boards by the thrift! I love it but it came cover-less! I am going to use the links to order one online- very thankful as my other plan was to try and sew one! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust purchased a new cover online Jan. 2020. The brand name is Euro-Pro for asymmetric ironing boards. My board measures 18" (widest area of the ironing board)x 57". The cover I got is the aluminum type with cotton batting & 3 velcro straps that hook underneath the board as well as having the cinching string. I did not see the all cotton type offered. These covers are pricey, but what can we do? Gotta have one, right!?!? I didn't see a replacement cover for the sleeve board.
