Some time ago, I moved my studio. I went from my wide hallway that I had set up to a room all for myself!

Also, I wanted to refresh my equipment a bit to feel good there!
So I made 3 super useful sewing projects for my work.

The first is a new ironing board cover because I was really fed up with my old blue cover (about 12 years old) with daisies... it had served its time and no longer really matched my tastes... as you can see!

So I decided to replace it with a cover in dark purple Japanese cotton with pretty sakura flowers, a symbol of renewal. For a studio move, it was a must ;-)

The sakura flower fabric is a Japanese classic that I love and that you will find in different colors in the shop!

To make my ironing board cover, I followed Elsa's YouTube tutorial from Urban Fairy Patterns.
This little sewing project is accessible even to beginner sewers; the only real challenge is making the casing and inserting the elastic.

Here is the tutorial video:

To complete my super ironing set, I made a tailor's cushion and a pressing ham.  A pressing ham or pressing egg is a kind of small double-sided egg: wool and cotton that helps iron and shape sleeve heads more easily and can be adapted to the type of fabric. A tailor's cushion is a kind of double-sided "sausage" that helps open seams on curves and prevents ironing marks when opening seams.

I also used Elsa's patterns and her YouTube tutorial, which are really well done!

To make these, you'll need cotton and wool fabric; a small piece is enough.
I used the same Japanese cotton for my trio and a scrap of wool fabric from my coat that I had already used for my beret! 

For the stuffing, I used scraps and some stuffing foam.

Here I am, completely coordinated!

I could still make some pretty sewing weights from the cotton scraps of sakura, and the set will be complete.

The article about the stitches can be found here.

Come on, all that's left to do!
