I have been meaning to do this for years... but never found a pattern... so decided to give it a go and make a pattern myself. And it worked! I just measured up the toaster and kind of guessed the right curvature for the top. I allowed 1cm for seams. I made a pattern using paper. My kitchen is 1950's retro so I decided to use this vintage fabric for the proto-type. It's not ideal (the fabric features boxing, shooting and c0ck fighting!!! LOL) ... but it looks ok... the pale yellow suits my kitchen. Now I feel confident to go out and buy some nicer fabric. Anyhow... HERE it is!
LOL at keeping it warm! Nah, the reason it needs a cover is because I am sick of cleaning it every time I bake a cake (for example) and stuff splatters all over it. It is stainless steel/chrome and situated near my main preparation area. I like to keep it looking shiny... plus when the cover is on it just kinda makes my kitchen look even tidier. Putting it on has almost become ritualistic LOL it means that the chaos of breakfast is over. Plus my Nana had a cover on her Sunbeam toaster... and I want to grow up to be just like her LOL
The biggest reason people used covers for toasters was dust, as dust gets in toasters when they are on the bench. And it was also supposed to stop creepy crawlies and mice (not sure how that works lol). It then became decorative. You can make/get covers for nearly EVERY appliance, even blenders.
I Made A Cover For My Sunbeam Toaster!
