Has anyone done a tute on making your own kitchen appliance covers, i.e. toaster, blender, etc. or has anyone made their own? Is it easy to make your own pattern? Do you quilt your own material or buy the pre-quilted? Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Thanks!

I used hand towels, just sewed 2 or 3 together depending what appliance it was for. Sew together lengthwise and then sew one end closed. Slips right over appliance. have made them for kitchenaid mixer, deep fryer and blender.

Go to BB&B and look at how their covers are constructed. But really, it shouldn't be that difficult. A toaster oven, toaster, coffee maker are all rectangles, more or less. I'd take a FQ or 1/2 yard or fabric, and make a sandwich and quilt it - either meander or lines - whatever. Then I'd cut the pieces from that quilted fabric. You could sew it together wrong sides together, and then "bind" all the exposed seams (which would be on the outside) with a contrasting fabric. Does that make any sense? Post pictures if you do make something. |

Ya Katie. Don't go crazy and mess up a good thing.

Oh trust me, I wouldn't do that. It's really nice having him decide what to make, then he even brings it to me in the sewing room or computer room. I get to clean up the dishes, but I'd rather do that than try to figure out what to eat.

I switch it up according to what neat thing I have seen lately :)
