Nancy Zieman How to Sew a Potluck CarrierStitch 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.

Wrap n Go Casserole Carrier Nancy Zieman 1Supplies:

  • 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

Note From Team Nancy     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!

Nancy Zieman shows how to Sew an easy Potluck CarrierConstruction:

  •  Cut fabrics:
  1. Fabric A: Cut two 13″ x 36″ rectangles (pocket base and handle base)
  2. Fabric B: Cut one 13″ x 44″ rectangle (pocket)
  3. Fabric C: Cut two 4″ x 36″ rectangles (handles)
  4. 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.

  • 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.

Wrap n Go Casserole Carrier Nancy Zieman E

  • 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.

Wrap n Go Casserole Carrier Nancy Zieman F

  • 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.

  • Stitch 1/2″ seam around the outer edge, leaving a 6″-8″ opening at the center of one long edge for turning.
Wrap n Go Casserole Carrier Nancy Zieman INote From Team Nancy     To reduce bulk when trimming, use pinking shears or a rotary pinking blade. Its a great time saver, since the zigzag edge of pinking shears/blade removes excess fabric as it trims.
  • Turn the pocket panel right side out. Press edge. Edgestitch around outer edge, stitching the opening closed.

Wrap n Go Casserole Carrier Nancy Zieman H

  • Stitch between lengthwise edges, 6″ from each short edge of the panel.

Prepare the Handle Panel

  • 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.

    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!

    I want to make this in a Fishing, Summer or Lake theme for a friend who has a beautiful place on the lake the live at in the summer. I think it would make a perfect thank you gift for them having us as guests every summer for a long weekend.

    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
    April 14, 2015

    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!

    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
    April 14, 2015

    I have some reproduction prints of flowers that I would use. I chose this because I think we take casseroles to more summer events. I might even make one for all the seasons, what the heck cover all the seasons. If I win this book I think I’ll share it with my daughter, she likes to make kitchen items.

    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

  • Pat

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

Love this pattern and thank you for the idea of making it for hot or cold casseroles.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

  • 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.

    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!
