KitchenAid 5qt, you're clear for takeoff
I made this cover for my stand mixer for one reason: DUST. Our 1943 apartment is so dusty that even with weekly wipe-downs, vacuuming and sweeping, there's always a good coat of dust on everything. I was sick of washing the mixer bowl before I used it.
It looks like a little airplane hangar for my mixer. I found the pattern here (that link also shows what the whole thing looks like) and bought the pre-quilted batik and trim at Discount Fabrics in SOMA. I did not choose the fabric because it coordinated with the stack of enameled cast-iron pots sitting next to the mixer, but that's a nice bonus. I chose it because it was neither beige nor pastel floral, neither of which would look good in our kitchen.
