I suppose you could but mine was 38 years old so I thought I would invest in
a new one and I really like the larger size.

Unbleached cotton duck, unbleached cotton drill, and canton flannel are all good. I put the good parts of a worn-out wool mattress pad under my ironing-board cover; wool is resilient, and holds pins well.
