Brainwave!! while replacing things under my dutchers block trolley, after cleaning and oiling last night. My magimix processor accessories box, full of blades and things, never pretty and a dust catcher. I rescued the fabric number one bits, fortunately neatly rolled and on top of dry things.
Worked out that all I needed was 2 end pieces and a long rectangle. Joined 2 strips lengthwise for the rectangle, made a pattern from paper for the sides, added SA, serged all sides and adding the sides to rectangle was exactly like putting sleeve caps in ie bend fabric over finger to ease and then pin
All done and a perfect tidy fit, same as a toaster cover, could also do similar for food mixer, except I have a cover and will not be covering the toaster. I have used that fabric to the max ie large cushion cover, a good skirt, a tablecloth for the dining area and now an accessory box cover, literally now only scraps left
My iron: I have earmarked my fab philips steam generator iron for dd and she is delighted, I hardly used it, it is a family iron and I ordered it for my husband to use as he did all the ironing and it arrived after he died. I have ordered a rather special sewing iron and meanwhile bought a reduced russell hobbs for £14, it was ok this morning. Ironing while sewing makes all the difference to the finish. I also use overhead steam to gently pat hand knits after knitting. The generator was not right for that
