Mixer Cover

Check this off both my Handmade Christmas list AND my Winter Sewing Goals list!  I finally (FINALLY) made a cover for my brother's mixer.  He asked for one ages ago and I kind of procrastinated because circles are not always my friend.  Anyway, here it is Christmas so it was time to get a move on.  What do you think?

I just love this line from Monaluna.  I just hope its not too girly.  His kitchen is light yellow and his pantry red and white.  I looked all over for red and white fabric that I liked, but I continually returned to this Monaluna goodness.  Oh, just go with the inspiration that is moving you....  This will still be OK in a red and white pantry, I think.

Now, I wanted a fabric with retro mixers or cupcakes all over it, but he wanted me to tone it down.  Anyway, Monaluna also has this fab woodland print that I love.  He's a big hiker, so this seemed just perfect!  But it was EXACTLY what he asked me not to do.  So, it's the lining now and the entire thing is reversable.  I hope he flips it every now and then to get a little show of this fabric too.

Here's hoping he likes it :)

If you want to make one of your own, I used this tutorial as a guide and then kind of made it up as I went along.
