I bought my Kitchen Aid stand mixer when the only colors available were white and blue. It was just a few months later that a bunch of cool colors started becoming available. But at the time, I thought, Wow – blue! So that’s the one I got.
Fast forward 10 years and everything in my kitchen is red. Windows, fiestaware, chopping board, yes, even the dishrags. What’s a girl to do? Make a Kitchen Aid cover, that’s what.
I SOOOO wish I could say that I came up with this myself. But alas, I did not. This pattern is from my friend Cindy and is available in here. Fabric is Fifties Kitchen by Michael Miller – perfect for this project.
I looooove it! I have a table runner and placemats in that same fabric, and just bought some more to do some other things (cloth napkins maybe). I have red fiesta ware too! That fabric goes so well with it.
I love it – that fabric is so cool – I will have to check it out. My White Mixmaster matches my kitchen but I am sure it could be enhanced by a great cover.
Very cute. Great fabric too.
Wonderful! Pure genius! my kitchen is blue and white but slowly there are a few Laura Ashley red and cream things creeping in. I may end up redecorating.
Love that fabric for this. Great choice!
What an awesome cover, Linda! I love it!!! (I like red in the kitchen, too–my new stand mixer is red, fire engine red.)
And the Fiesta bowl looks great next to it (I have a mix of colors and it’s a bit addictive).
My Kitchen Aid is boring white, and of course now they have kiwi and orange. I guess it’s for the best that I already have one — how could I decide??
so,so cute! I have some of those same red bowls and they are my favorites!
Love It! What a great idea!
I’d kill for a Kitchen Aid of any hue – especially now I know of a cute cover to be made!
blue is cool and wont date. Great cover
I have the boring white one. I think it needs a cover. I’m off to visit Cindy’s shop.
Very nice cover – an inspiration piece for sure.
Thanks for the link to the great pattern. I have a gun metal grey kitchen aid and even though I love the colour it really needs a cover to keep it from getting kitchen muck all over it!
What a lovely idea. I have the same size and color Kitchen Aid. I got it when I think I was in 6th grade (I was the nerdy kid who loved to bake). I wish I had known they would come out with such fab colors–I love the pistachio green that came out a couple of years ago. Still, I love my mixer and I will run it into the ground. But maybe a cute cover will up its aesthetic appeal.
Very cute addition to your kitchen!
What a great idea….. It looks lovely, I love the fabric.
I love vintage fabric! You have such a creative blog. I always look forward to reading it!
Kitchen Aid mixer, Fiestaware bowl… vintage print… you must be living in my dream world.
I would love to have a cover like that for my mixer :D
AWESOME! I love it!
I got my Kitchenaid when my mother passed away, 17 years ago, and she got it when the ONLY color was white. And it still runs like a dream but it’s butt-ugly. You’ve given me hope. :) Thanks!
soooo cute!
Yay! Fiestaware!!! I keep buying new colors – I can’t stop!
Hi!! Love the blue kitchen aid it would be hard for me to cover since blue is absolutely my favorite color!!!! That fabric is so fantastic I might have to brake my no buying fabric rule for this month and get me some:)
Awesome work! It looks great! You should draw more often…its so fun to explore with new medias.
I’ve been reading your blog for a little bit now but I’ve been too busy (with a move across the country to comment) but I just couldn’t resist taking a minute to comment on this post! I think that is great! I also can’t draw but like to trace and color and that looks like the best tool ever! You could make some really cool drawings with that!
pls send me patterns for vaccum cleaner cover,kitchrn appliancescovers. thanx
Very ingenious idea!!
So cute… I recognize that fabric ;) Enjoy!
I MUST have this pattern! I, too, have a stand mixer in a color that I chose when I was – let’s just say – much younger. I almost wish those darn things weren’t so indestructible! Thanks for your wonderful blog.
I wonder how many patterns you’ve sold for your friend via your blog? :) I just ordered my first Kitchen-Aid mixer (been agonizing over exactly which one to get for months now), and I also ordered the cover pattern. I have no idea yet what fabric I’ll use for mine, but I have friends who’ll be getting a Looney Tunes cover for theirs! Another friend would appreciate the same fabric you used, I think…I’ll have to see what I can find.
Hi! Stumbled upon your blog as I am looking for Kitchenaid mixer cover patterns. Unfortunately the link you gave is no longer available, I think? Any chance you can send to me or point to where I can get it? Thanks! :D
