The lovely lady for whom I'm making the t-shirt quilt, also requested a couple of replacement covers for her Kitchenaid Mixer.
She already had the standard white Kitchenaid Cover (the one on the left), but wanted something in green tones.
I made myself a template, and whipped up a quick toile out of some scrap fabric.... and then had a little conundrum, because I really needed to test it out.
I remembered that when Nic from Yardage Design had blogged about her kitchen, she had a Kitchenaid Mixer on the bench...... so I popped the toile in the mail, and Nic tested it out for me - thankyou Nic, you're a gem!.
As you can see - with scrappy one sided fabric and no wadding, the toile was rather floppy, and it was just a little too long also.
After the testing phase, I got to work on the real thing.
I must say that I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Its brilliant Cam!
I think my girl might just need one too.
...even though I think I may be the only person in the world that doesn't think they want or need a kitchenaid, that looks really, really nice.
You're quite the, uh... sewist Ms Cam.
Wow! When I eventually get my kitchen aid I know who'll I'll be asking to commission a cover! Looks fantastic :)
Wonderful! That is brilliant work, and I like the colour choices.
Love the colours. Great fit. Anything you can't do?
Beautiful work and Great colour choices!
Love it - but as I own a mere Sunbeam Mixmaster (which doesn't come with a cover - but that would be a great idea), can you tell me what the pocket on the front is used for?
What a great idea, love your fabric choice. dee x
Ahhh......if only I had a kitchen aid!
you are such a clever lady!! Im about to embark on making my daughter a cover for her new calculator..... this could be interesting!
Very nice!
Last week in Cann River op shop I saw a couple red embellished Kenwood mixer covers in original wrappings. I tried to think of an excuse to buy them, but the only thing I could do with them is try to sell them to Kenwood mixer owners who like retro stuff.
That looks amazing! I love the retro look of it, makes me feel all 1950s and I must rush off to the kitchen to do some mixing!
that's so sweet! love the vintage look too =) i feel a kettle cozy coming on =D
xx
I think you need to branch out into Sunbeam covers that have a panel saying When I grow up I want to be a Kitchenaid!!!
best dressed kitchen aid in town. i love it
I would happily put that cover on my Kitchen Aid!!!
Looks fabulous!
The kitchenaid cover worked out beautifully, Cam! I'm so glad I could help!
It's perfect! I can see an entire kitchen range - kettle, toaster...cover them all!!!
