Custom Order

I had a custom order this last week on etsy. I've been asked many times to make a toaster cover but this is the first time I actually did it. 

I hope it's recipient enjoys it! 

A Manly Mixer Cover

Kris visited this past weekend and reminded me that he had requested a cover on his last visit - which was right after Micah was born... I had completely forgotten until he said something. So I whipped this cover up for him. I am totally digging the less fussy look. 

 The inside is just a solid black Kona

And the best part is they are super fast to sew up when you don't add the quilted strip! If you know a bachelor who loves to cook this would really be the perfect gift

Stand Mixer Tutorial

Happy Birthday to me - To you! AKA the Stand Mixer Cover Tutorial

***Have you made a cover from this tutorial? Please take the time to leave a comment or upload a photo to our flickr group we would love to see it!!!***

Yes that's right FINALLY I have this up for you guys... it only took... years. I was originally planning on putting it up for sale in my etsy shop but I decided that for my birthday I would give it to you all. So please make yourself one or give them away as gifts (just please don't sell them-if you would like to please contact me to purchase the pattern). And for all of you who don't sew there are still a few left in my shop for purchase. 

This was made to fit my Professional series mixer (and fits the Artisan though it's a little large) If you have a high capacity Professional mixer I now have the proper cutting instructions listed in the directions so please be aware and look for those.

Makeup Bag

I am SOOOO totally stoked about this. I came up with the idea this last week and finally found a few hours to whip it out this morning. It went together amazingly well, absolutely no issues in the process (which never happens). I absolutely love it! I think I am going to dress up the cover in the future when I have some time.

It 8 inches high and 15 across and the clasp is magnetic- which was totally easy!! It has plenty of room for everything I need. I finally don't have to worry about messing up my brushes when I travel. The side pocket holds only makeup stuff. My toiletry bag is still used for everything else.

Speaking of the pocket I don't know if you can tell but I totally lined up the fabrics pattern... to bad I didn't think of it on the brushes part! I don't know where that came from because I am SOOO not usually that on top of things! It could be the fact that I picked up some wondertape that my mum blogged about before starting this and let me tell you that stuff changes lives...haha... I had the zipper in and perfect in all of 5 seconds, usually it's twenty minutes of pinning and repinning and fighting with the machine. Buy it!

I used peltex (or what ever that hard interfacing is) on the outside so it holds it's shape.

Oh and I hide every seam because I am definitely OCD about about raw edges. I will probably do a tutorial sometime in the future for this... but there's no telling how long that will take me.

WIP's I have been crazy busy sewing. There will be a lot of kitchen aid covers available shortly I will show you them over the next week or so. I think I have 7 more. And I am feeling pretty confident with my pattern now so I will hopefully be getting around to finally creating a tutorial for these as well. This one has been so difficult because I will actually need to do a pattern piece... and it's not all going to fit on one page... argh!

Alright well I am off I have so much to do... so little time!
