that is so cute, Joanne. I have a mixer cover, but my mixer is kind of rectangular/box shaped, so not cute like yours. :D
Mine's rectangular, too. You're seeing her from one end. Thanks for the compliment :D

I added scraps for a blouse, skirt and apron. The arms are stuffed and their tops are sewn into the seam between the top of the blouse and the upper part of the cozy. The head is totally separate - attaches with 2 big snaps, so it can be removed when the cozy is laundered. I tapered the top a bit, added a casing and drawstring. Pulled the string tight, tucked it inside. The red and blue have faded a BIT in 18 years!
If you don't want it anymore, I'll be glad to take it off of your hands. My mixer is a 20-yr. old Kitchen Aid. Will it fit? {{{{{{only kidding}}}}}}
What a creative idea. I just hate seeing all those appliances on my counter tops. I could make the whole family for the food processor, the toaster, etc. etc. You are so clever.
