How Do You Make A Casserole Carrier?
Sew yourself a quilted casserole carrier to take along hot dishes for potluck suppers or other food-centered events. The quilting helps keep the casserole warm and removes the need to bring pot holders or wrap the casserole in a towel. Use prequilted fabric or quilt your own fabric, perhaps using up some scraps in your fabric stash. Step 1 Cut fabric into three pieces: the first piece should be 36 inches by 16 inches. The other two pieces should both be 24 inches by 8 inches. Step 2 Finish the edges of the larger piece. Use a serger or a zigzag stitch around the edges. (A double-folded hem is too bulky for this project.) You can also use an overcast stitch to finish the edges by hand. Another option is to sew binding to the edges, although the edges don’t show when the carrier is used, and therefore edge binding is not needed for this project. Step 3 Turn under the long edges of the large piece ΒΌ inch to make a hem. Stitch the hem by hand or machine. Step 4 Make a pattern for handle cu
