Easy-Peasy Casserole Carrier

Have you made that Easy Breakfast Casserole I blogged about here? If not, you should.

If so, what did you think? Either way, how about a precious, easy-to-make casserole carrier to help you transport it to a friend that just had a baby or a friend that just had surgery? Check out this easy sewing project I discovered on the cutest blog Moda Bakeshop.

Ingredients: 1 Prayer Flag charm pack--available @ Moda (or different colors/patterns of fabrics in your choice) ; 1 1/4 yd White Bleached Bella Solid (same as first); 2 packages of crib size batting; 2 packages of 1/2" double fold bias tape OR 1/2 yd fabric for binding; 2 round 6" purse handles; 14 #20 snap caps; 7 #20 snap studs; 7 #20 snap sockets; snap setter/snap press.

Cut 10 charm squares (or your fabric selections) in half to create (20) 2 1/2" x 5" rectangles. For ease, we'll call these pieces "R". Select 20 more squares. For ease, we'll call these pieces "S". Create 4 strips by sewing the following pattern: S, R, S, R, S, R, S, R, S, R.

Cut (6) 2 1/2" x 33" strips of White Bleached Bella Solid. Sew white strips to pieced charm square strips as shown in photo to create two main panels.

Cut (4) 8" x 24" rectangles of White Bleached Bella Solid. Sew (2) 8"x24" rectangles to each main panel, making sure to center them as shown in the photo. Sew (2) charm squares to each main panel, making sure to center them as shown in the photo. Cut (2) layers of batting the same size as your panels. Layer, baste, quilt, and bind entire perimeter.

Slide a purse handle over each short end of the panel toward the right (outer) side. Fold edge down, pin and stitch in place. Apply (2) snap studs to the ride side of one panel flap as shown in photo. Apply (2) snap studs to the wrong side of the other panel flap.

Fold over your panel flap to determine where to apply (2) snap sockets and repeat with the other panel.

When the studs and sockets are applied, the panels will snap together to hold your casserole dish snugly in place. Apply (3) snaps to the top edge under each purse handle (sockets on one side, studs on the other) to improve the structural integrity of the casserole carrier. Cutest casserole carrier ever!
