    Someone posted a link further down in the comments. June 2016 I think. The link is for Tipnut.com. They have patterns for appliance covers to sew or crochet. Really good ideas. I have to make a KitchenAid cover and one for my instant pot, as well. Now all I need the the gumption to make them. Lol

    When I saw 6 ideas for the kitchen I hoped one was a cover for the kitchen aid mixer. Your others gave me ideas and I thank you for that. Keep up the good work.
