I got sucked down the hole of Pinterest, as one does when there is a sewing deadline looming, and ran across a post on making an ironing station using an Ikea Kallax 2x4 unit and a piece of hardboard.
One horrible trip to Ikea and an hour of work by the hubby and I had the base unit done.
It took a couple of hours to cover the ironing surface. I used a 3x6 piece of 1/4" pressboard, two layers of cotton quilt batting, a layer of Insul-Brite and a final cover of Iron Quick fabric.
What an amazing pressing surface this makes!

| plenty of storage, and it's easy to move around |

| I can press a 54" width of fabric with room to spare on either side!
Now that I have this great pressing surface I'm ready to pleat fabric and put some tucks into
the organdy for the pinafore.

And none of those nasty little bits that bite, like my ironing board has!
