How to Sew a Kitchen Appliance Cover in 6 Steps

Custom appliance covers are an excellent solution for keeping your countertop kitchen appliances dust free and protecting them against splashes and spills. You should ideally store a kitchen appliance in a cabinet, but if your kitchen lacks storage or you are a gadget geek who loves to collect every new one, then learning to make appliance covers is a handy skill to learn. Most large appliances come with waterproof zip-up covers, but if your kitchen appliances such as a toaster, hand mixer, blender or waffle maker, I will show you how to make small appliance covers for them. When searching online, you will find hundreds of cover tutorials. This one is one of the simplest options as knowing how to sew is the only skill you need to make these small kitchen covers. You can use new fabric or recycle old fabric for making these DIY kitchen appliance covers. Why should you use kitchen appliance covers? · When left on the counter, kitchen appliances can accidentally come into contact with water, oil or grease, increasing the chances of them shorting when switched on. Covering them extends their life by protecting them against splashes. · Covering an appliance saves it from gathering dust, grease and grime, thereby cutting down on the time you spend cleaning them to keep them looking new. · A cover keeps the appliance out of sight, making the kitchen look neat, besides reducing the risk of kids trying to play with appliances unsupervised. What appliances benefit from kitchen covers? Frequently used appliances, such as sandwich toasters, pop-up toasters, waffle makers or even instant pots, will benefit from covers. They are left on the counter, and covers will protect them from the dirt, grease and grime they can gather from being exposed to the conditions in the kitchen. You can also use this idea to make covers for large appliances such as microwaves or washing machines that aren’t built into your modular kitchen.
