Making a great Ironing Surface
So, I never realized how much many of you like my ironing table top. I am making a new one this week for the shop. When I mentioned it in class, I had a large number of people offering to either take the old one off my hands or they requested that I show them how to make them. SO, I have schedule a one-time workshop to do so. It will take place on Sunday, January 24th, from 1-4pm. I will provide all of the materials and the cost of the class includes those. I am charging my cost for the materials and having them all delivered to my school. The final board will measure 28″ x 80″ x 2″. It will be nicely padded with a material meant for this purpose and a nice drill cloth also designed for this use. We will simply work in teams, cutting and stapling the padding and then the cover in place. You will be able to take it home with you at the end of the class. Make sure that you have a vehicle that can carry this for you. It isn’t so heavy as it is awkward to maneuver.
I searched and searched my photo library to show you the ironing surface. My usual focus, when I take pictures, is the student and her project, not the shop. I finally found one from when I was getting ready to open my current location. You can see the ironing surface on top of the cabinets. That is what we will be making.
Here’s a summary of the information:
Date: Sunday, January 24, 2010
Time: 1-4pm
At: Laura’s Sewing School
Cost: $120, this includes the class time and materials. You need bring nothing, other than a vehicle in which to take this home.
Limit of 6 students.
Please sign up ASAP. I need time for the materials to be shipped/delivered. So, I would say that my deadline is January 12th. If there are more people wanting to take this workshop than I have space for, I will schedule another date for this same class.
