This pattern was designed for a Kitchenaid electric mixer. Measurements can be adjusted to fit
your mixer, blender, toaster, or other kitchen appliance.
Kitchenaid Mixer / Appliance Cover
This mixer cover is made in three layers: lining, batting (I use our fusible fleece) and outer fabric layer. It uses just two pattern pieces: one for the two ends and one for the sides/top.
NOTE: Our Pieced Mixer Cover is more difficult. It cuts the front into pieces and adds a small quilt block to the side.
Measures approximately 16" tall x 16" deep x 12" wide
Fusible Fleece: 1 yard (crafter's felt or batting can be used instead)
Lining: 1 yard
Bias binding (for lower edge): 2 yards of 1/4" or 1/2" binding
TIP: If you wish to use pre-quilted fabric(outer fabric, lining and betting are already stitched together in layers), but can't find just what you need,
you can create it yourself. Learn how with our Prequilted Fabric Instructions.
Pattern Pieces
You might need to modify the measurements of the sides, top and front to fit the dimensions of your mixer.

Front/Back Piece
For the front and back, print the pattern pieces above and cut them out along the solid lines. Overlay them as shown on the right by placing the dashed lines of B directly over the dashed lines of A. Tape pattern pieces A an B together. Do the same with D and C. Then tape A-B to C-D. The dot in the corner of each piece should all lay one on top of the other. This creates the pattern piece you will use to cut out the front and back.
Cut Out Fabric Sides/ Top: Open up the fabric. Cut across the fabric (selvage to selvage) to cut one piece measuring 38" x 16.5". Do this for the outer fabric, batting and lining. This will be the piece that creates the two sides and top.
Front/Back: Use the pattern piece you created (pattern piece A-B-C-D) to cut two pieces (one for front and one for back) from the outer fabric, batting and lining.
