Jessica's Kitchen Aid Cover

I apologize for the terrible photos but I took these as a storm was rolling in and about 5 minutes after snapping these shots the power went out... ah Florida...

This mixer cover is for Jessica. The fabric it's Lily and Will by Bunny Hill Designs for Moda.

It looks a little large on my machine but I made it to fit the high capacity Professional Mixer- So I will add instructions on that in the tutorial... I still need to get a hold of an Artisan because I would like to tell you how to make a better fitted cover for that model as well... 

A Manly Mixer Cover

Kris visited this past weekend and reminded me that he had requested a cover on his last visit - which was right after Micah was born... I had completely forgotten until he said something. So I whipped this cover up for him. I am totally digging the less fussy look. 

 The inside is just a solid black Kona

And the best part is they are super fast to sew up when you don't add the quilted strip! If you know a bachelor who loves to cook this would really be the perfect gift

Because it's one of the things I've been up to... here's a peak at a Kitchen Aid cover I just finished- it's already on it's way to it's owner! Love that!

And I am super happy to say that I FINALLY wrote the pattern and tutorial for this! So as soon as it is proofed I will be putting it up in the shop!

Makeup Bag

I am SOOOO totally stoked about this. I came up with the idea this last week and finally found a few hours to whip it out this morning. It went together amazingly well, absolutely no issues in the process (which never happens). I absolutely love it! I think I am going to dress up the cover in the future when I have some time.

It 8 inches high and 15 across and the clasp is magnetic- which was totally easy!! It has plenty of room for everything I need. I finally don't have to worry about messing up my brushes when I travel. The side pocket holds only makeup stuff. My toiletry bag is still used for everything else.

Speaking of the pocket I don't know if you can tell but I totally lined up the fabrics pattern... to bad I didn't think of it on the brushes part! I don't know where that came from because I am SOOO not usually that on top of things! It could be the fact that I picked up some wondertape that my mum blogged about before starting this and let me tell you that stuff changes lives...haha... I had the zipper in and perfect in all of 5 seconds, usually it's twenty minutes of pinning and repinning and fighting with the machine. Buy it!

I used peltex (or what ever that hard interfacing is) on the outside so it holds it's shape.

Oh and I hide every seam because I am definitely OCD about about raw edges. I will probably do a tutorial sometime in the future for this... but there's no telling how long that will take me.

WIP's I have been crazy busy sewing. There will be a lot of kitchen aid covers available shortly I will show you them over the next week or so. I think I have 7 more. And I am feeling pretty confident with my pattern now so I will hopefully be getting around to finally creating a tutorial for these as well. This one has been so difficult because I will actually need to do a pattern piece... and it's not all going to fit on one page... argh!

Alright well I am off I have so much to do... so little time!

Something for the shop

Another kitchen aid cover

Tried something new with a light brown linen.

The inside and quilted strip are Recess by American Jane for Moda.

Since Christmas is over...

Here is the gift I made for my Aunt Sherie.

She had asked for a pillow with a bee on it (a year ago... oops) so I finally got it together and decided to use it on a kitchen aide cover instead.

I am pretty sure the lining fabric is an Amy Butler print. It screamed sherie to me. I don't know why maybe it's the circles : )

Well I am not being creative around here at all. I am hoping to get back to it soon but life really seems to be getting in the way at the moment!
