Sew a Casserole Carrier in Time for Your Next Potluck
Stitch this Casserole Carrier, from the Hot and Handy Projects book. Then, let your tasteful carrier help you get a handle on things. Place your hot dish (or cold dish) in the center, wrap and GO! An insulated carrier is perfect for picnics and potluck dinners. The inner insulated pocket lets you store a hot or cold pack to keep the temperature of your dish just right. The carrier folds flat when not in use and can be laundered.
Supplies:
- 7/8 yard Fabric A (carrier body)
- 1/2 yard Fabric B (pocket)
- 2 yards 1″ wide black webbing/strapping
- Optional: 1/3 yard Fabric C (instead of webbing/strapping handles) and 1″ Create A Strap Interfacing
- 7/8 yard Quilted Iron Quick
- 1/4 yard hook and loop tape
- Matching thread
For the casserole carrier we’re creating today, we’re using the same fabric for the body and pocket—instead of using Fabric A and Fabric B. Contrasting fabrics work great, too!
Construction:
- Cut fabrics:
- Fabric A: Cut two 13″ x 36″ rectangles (pocket base and handle base)
- Fabric B: Cut one 13″ x 44″ rectangle (pocket)
- Fabric C: Cut two 4″ x 36″ rectangles (handles)
- Quilted Iron Quick: Cut two 13″ x 36″ rectangles (carrier lining)
- Make the pocket by folding the 13″ x 44″ rectangle in half, meeting the 13″ ends.
- Stitch a 1/4″ seam along the 13″ edges.
- Press seam open; turn the pocket tube right side out, centering the seam. Press.
- Edgestitch the 13″ edges.
Complete the Pocket Panel
- Fold Fabric A pocket base in half, meeting 13″ ends. Pin at fold to mark center. Repeat, to mark center of the pocket.
- Position and pin the pocket to the right side of Fabric A. Baste pocket to Fabric A along the length close to the cut edges.
- Center and stitch a 5-1/2″ loop side section of the hook and loop tape to the right side of one short edge of the base.
- Center and stitch a 3″ hook side of the hook and loop tape to the reflective/silver side of one short edge of one Quilted Iron Quick section.
- Meet and pin completed pocket base to Quilted Iron Quick, right sides together, checking to ensure hook and loop tape sections are on opposite ends.
- Round the corners using a template included in Hot and Handy Projects.
- Stitch 1/2″ seam around the outer edge, leaving a 6″-8″ opening at the center of one long edge for turning.
- Turn the pocket panel right side out. Press edge. Edgestitch around outer edge, stitching the opening closed.
- Stitch between lengthwise edges, 6″ from each short edge of the panel.
Prepare the Handle Panel
- Center and stitch the 3″ loop side of the hook and loop tape to the right side of one short edge of the Fabric A handle base.
- Center and stitch a 5-1/2″ hook side of the hook and loop tape to the silver side of one short edge of the remaining Quilted Iron Quick section.
- Join the handle base and Quilted Iron Quick section, right sides together with a 1/2″ seam, ensuring hook and loop sections are at opposite ends. Trim, press, turn and edgestitch as for the pocketed panel.
- Using the 1″ webbing, stitch the short ends together with a 1/2″ seam allowance. Press seam open.
Attach Handles to Handle Panel
- Fold handle base in half, meeting short ends. Mark center with a pin.
- Position handle on handle base, 3″ from each lengthwise edge, meeting handle seams to base center marks. Pin in place.
- Measure 6″ from each short edge. Mark from lengthwise edge to lengthwise edge. This indicates the starting and stopping points for stitching the handle strapping.
- Edgestitch each side of both handles between the 6″ markings.
Join the Casserole Panels
- Place the pocket panel fabric side up. Mark the center of the pocket.
- Meet short ends of the handle panel: Mark the center.
- Place the handle panel at a right angle to the pocket panel, fabric side up, meeting center marks. The handle panel will be approximately 11-1/2″ from ends of the pocket panel. Pin in place.
- Stitch along three sides to secure the layers, leaving the fourth side open for inserting a hot or cold pack.

I would use an americana theme fabric to match my kitchen dacor.
Julia Juedes
What a great idea to have a pocket for heat or cold packs! I always use the totes for HOT never thought about COLD! This would make a great gift for a bride-to-be! Tuck in the heat and cold packs, add a spatchula, or spoon and Voila,
a perfect gift! Thanks for the idea, Nancy!
Sandra Knudson

Ida Noel
I going to use southwestern themed material, we have a lot of potlucks when we camp at our trail rides. Ida
Marianne Kapinos
Our extended family Christmas gathering is a must for Christmas fabrics, our annual Meatless Friday just before Easter gathering would be adorable in Spring or Spiritual type fabrics, and last, but not least is our annual family picnic, which could feature fireworks, red, white & blue fabrics, or just wonderful summer florals. And that’s not even considering the birthdays, Mother’s/Father’s day, & just because days. Looks like I’ve got alot of sewing to do!!
Sheila
I would use a reproduction fabric to remind me of my childhood when potlucks were the way for family, friends, and communities to get together.
Barbara
What a wonderful project to make as gifts. I would use pastel fabric with small florals and patterns because those colors make me happy when I look at them!
Sue Reents
I made my casserole carrier in red & white, two sided, quilted fabric. I embroidered cherries, with the words What’s Cookin’ on the top of the casserole. I like cherries & have them in my kitchen. Love the casserole carrier & use it all the time for potluck dinners at church.
Janice McLain
If I could find something that had globes or maps on it, that would be my choice. I like to make cultural types of meals to take to potlucks.
Lori Chvojka
I have some reproduction prints of flowers that I would use. I chose this because I think we take casseroles to more summer events.

Tina Setla
I plan on using Asian themed fabric, black ,red etc. I can’t wait to get started.

I have some sunflower prints that I have been holding onto for awhile and think this would be great use of it. I will probably use blue as the second color because blue and yellow are my favorite colors! I am always looking for new ideas for gifts.
Elizabeth Lewis
I would use a bright floral with a dark background to showcase the pattern colors while camouflaging the inevitable spills that will occur at the potluck. Cheers!
Rita DeCook
I have several different fabrics I’m thinking of using…patriotic, Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick’s, and kitchen-themed. I might even embroider on some.
Rita DeCook

Barbara l. Gauldin
Can’t wait to make this for grandson & wife, as a housewarming gift
Moving into their first home this Wednesday. Will use bright colors
As that is what Ashley likes.

While a novelty food print would seem like a natural for this carrier, I love the large floral print shown in today’s blog. I will be using a floral similar to the one shown. Thanks for the opportunity to win the book.
Dorothy G
I would love to make a few of these using the fabrics for the appropriate holidays. I’m already seeing Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick’s day, Thanksgiving and Fourth of July.

I will look thru my extensive stash for a great fabric. My kitchen has a chicken motif. So maybe if I have enough (ha-ha) fo the fabric I did place mats, appliance covers, etc. I will use that for the covers. Love your E- mails, they make my day.
Bonnye
I plan to make several for out of town guests at my son’s wedding. I have lovely fruit themed fabric.
Kathy Luehrs

Francine Shea
As a substitute school administrator. I use sewing as a reward for not receiving a conduct report over a period of time after they received ISS( in-school suspension) for committing a school infraction. I don’t get a budget as this is my own idea and it’s for a public charter school. I bought them a basic teal Janome sewing machine with a safe boxed plastic presser foot so fingers can’t get in the way. I use it with all ages in gr. K-gr.8. Yes. K students get sent to the office!! The kids love the color of the machine.
I will try to use this as a project for the students to work on as gifts for 4 secretaries as
secretary day is coming up this month.
Some will create the pattern from the measurements given, some will mark the fabric, some will cut the fabric, and some will sew the fabric. Thank you for the wonderful idea. I just have to find the quilted heat resistant fabric and get called in to sub. I love your blog!
Winona
Chicken fabric!!
Thank you for this pattern – can’t wait to make some!

AsMy daughters compete in trail challenges I will be using fabric that has horses with a background of furled flags. To have something hot after a 6 to 8 mile, with obstacles, no matter the weather can’t help but make them feel better after taking care of their horses.
Marilyn
OH!!! This would be wonderful with the piece of fabric I just picked up at Hobby Lobby. It’s a black background with all the old style appliances on it in lime green, aqua blue, cherry red and a sunny yellow. It would be SO PERFECT!!! I’d love to give a go. I’ll even email pics of the finished project to you! 🙂 Thanks
Marilyn in MS

Any fabric will do, but something bright (not gaudy) would
be nice and easy to spot.

Delaine
I would use fabric with pictures of food on it. Thanks!
Starla
There are so many beautiful food-print fabrics I’ve been drooling over. Of course, the hot peppers would be perfect for this — or a fruit theme, if you were carrying a casserole dish full of cobbler.
Cyndy Knapp
I plan to make this with a fabric with some sort of food or kitchen gadgets on it. This looks like a great pattern! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Kathy F
You could always add either a ribbon or velcro to the top, so that you could keep the serving pieces attached to the casserole carrier for traveling. I can’t say how many times, I have been walking with the serving pieces in my hand and dropped one, or just plain left them at home.
Debra
I would use a kitchen themed fabric.
Jan N.
I would make this for myself using some bright batik fabric. For others I would use novelty food fabric.
Kathy F
I would like to do them with a theme-like patterned material for the get together. Of course, two of each. One for me to bring the casserole in and another to give to the hostess. I am always looking through the clearance pile for a good buy!
Gail Beam
My daughter is a teacher and is always taking in food to her school, so definitely a fun school print would be perfect. Since she loves to cook this would be a perfect gift for her.
Lorraine
I a bright “reto” print 🙂

Grandson is an Oakland Raiders fan. I have made a lot of kitchen items in Raider fabric for him, but not a carrier he can use on the go. Also a lot of theme fabric is in my stash. Just have to sort through and use as many different ones I can. Thanks for an easy carrier pattern.
Bobbi Beharrell
Already planning to do sets of the 60-minute pocket potholder and place mats for my grand-kids – the casserole cover would be a perfect addition to the sets! Just waiting for my Quilted Iron Quick fabric to arrive. Let me see, music theme; cats theme; hen and rooster theme……
Ruthie Peterburg
I plan on making 3 of these, one for my daughter and one for each of my daughters in law.

Warm hugs,
Ruthie
Glynn Martin
I’d love to create one of these out of the adorable vegetable prints out there!
Kathy Renz
I actually have a casserole carrier very similar to this that my cousin made me. She made it out of a print featuring our local football team the Eagles. I love the carrier but don’t like football. I would make one out of one of the cute food-themed prints. I’ve used them for table runners and wall hangings and think they are fun.
p.s. The one she made me came with a pocket but I never knew why. Thanks for describing that feature!
Laura
I’m going to make mine in horse themed fabric. Perfect for horse event potlucks!
Donna
I would use a vegetable print for my casserole carrier. That’s usually my dish for all church activities.

Making two, one for birthdays, one for picnics! Embroidering balloons on one and grilling utensils on the other!

LuLu
I would use beach themed fabrics.
Peggy S.
For myself, I would use a food theme fabric and if for a gift it would depend on the person I would make it for. There are so many beautiful fabrics, there has to be something for everyone.
Thank you Nancy for the beautiful ideas you share with us.
Patricia Sweet
I have been looking for something like this. Not sure what fabric pattern. My mom left me some vintage patterned material. Guess i will have to see what inspires me. I hope i win would make my day.

I would like to have a fruit theme and a veggie theme for my casserole covers. I think maybe an “Italian” theme too for all my pasta dishes.
Martha
Looks like a project even a novice like me could do — would love to make it for gifts which is why I’m not posting my last name. Have the perfect floral pattern fabric with a dark background which will not spotlight any potential spills from the enclosed casserole.
Jane Freeman
Because most of the covered dish events I attend are at Christmas, I would follow the Christmas theme. Maybe a solid outer with appliquéd holly leaves and a holly print inside.
amelia
Dear Nancy,
Supreb! I will make it for my office.
JoD
Have always wanted / needed a carrier for those church dinners. I’ve had some ‘spicy red jalepeno’ fabric that never got put into another project. They’d look good on this carrier….. reminding me that it’s for HOT food.
Brenda Lohman
I think I will use Downton Abbey fabric !!!!
Stella Tavares

Inger August
Hi
I have made to keep the pizza hot, on the way home.
Inger
sandy g.
Great tutorial. I really appreciate that I can adapt it o any sized container.
Grace Niederlehner
i think I would use some of the food themed fabric for a generic one but if I were giving to a friend I would use fabric that matched my friend’s interests.
Kris Bolick
I just bought some cute Christmas chickens that I considered making pot holders out of. My favorite would be red hot chilli peppers, it might help keep the the food warmer….
Myrt Powell
I have some hot peppers fabric that I’d like to use for this..
norma stone
I have some chicken fabric that I would use to make this casserole carrier.

Harriet Richard
What a great project! Would make a great hostess givt
Carol
I definitely want something bright and cheery. A large print would work wonderfully.
JCR
I’ve made a couple of these with 16 patch blocks following the directions in the Quilt With Confidence book. They are very attractive and useful. But if I made them again I would extend the Velcro for better overlap and adhesion.
Mary
I can see this in Seahawk material for tailgating.
Eileen
I have a question about the Quilted Iron Quick. When reading on their website they mention that this fabric does not have any insulating properties and that additional batting or insulation should be used. Has anyone had experience with how this product actually works? Thanks!!
Nancy Zieman
Thank you for your question, Eileen. Please email my team directly at [email protected], and we can put you in touch with the experts at Nancy’s Notions.
Pamela
I was excited to sew this one up and thank you for the pattern.
However, now that it’s completed, I don’t understand the need for the fabric pocket. By stitching it on three sides a pocket is created between the two layers that a hot or cold pack could be inserted into. Also after the last stitching one side of the fabric pocket is not accessible and I wonder if it might not be confusing to some that it is a very small pocket on the one side. Perhaps a serving implement will fit there?
I followed the directions very carefully and I consider myself an above intermediate sewer. I make clothes, quilts, purses etc.
Pamela
Am I missing something?

Would love to win this book as I always wanted a covered carrier but never had a pattern before. This would also make lovely pot holders. I am not familiar with this quick fabric but sure is nice to know it is out there and perfect for this type of projects. Thank you Nancy Staff for caring on Nancy’s work!
Delois Campbell
Wow! I would love to win this book. It would be so much fun and a lot easier to take a dish to my BSF group.
