BEHOLD - A TEAL GODDESS
She's pretty epic. I adore her. I've made a couple things with her, but I'm finding more and more things to use her for all the time (MASHED POTATOES?! NUTS). C'mon, I cleaned my itty bitty counter to put her on display. So, WHY, on earth, would I hide her teal beauty? Because my house is dusty and I don't want to clog her motor.
I found an image of a really cute Kitchen Aid mixer cover and it linked back to an About.com tutorial. Not going to lie, I used it as a rough guideline. I ended up measuring it with a tape measure and making my own paper templates. I think mine came out pretty nicely (I didn't have a use for the pockets, although, looking back, I should have done them. Pockets are always a nice thing to have.)
The main side (a lovely teal) with canary yellow piping (first time using piping... fun!!)
The other side... no piping, no love. Just there. Eh about this fabric.
Now... here's the fun part. I used my lovely new machine, affectionately named Nina, to make this project. It actually was Nina's first project with me (*tear* they grow up so fast). I played with her various built in stitches and had a blast. I never knew sewing could be so swear-free (but cursing like a sailor is half the fun for me).
And, as always, Domino tried to help me.
But these went so well I might make more for others! =) Stay tuned...
