Fold and Stitch the Sides of the Casserole Carrier

1. Place the casserole carrier on your workspace with the inside facing up.

Fold one of the short sides over to the front so that the handle is up.

2. Then fold the other short side over and make the ends overlap by 3” (or so that the flap on top is right against the handle on the other side.

Pin the overlapping flaps together at the top and bottom to hold them together for the next step. Pin just the 2 flaps – not the bottom side of the carrier.

3. Arrange the carrier so that the 3” center area (where the flaps overlap) is in the center.

4. Pin the bottom edges on one side and then the other (on either side of the flaps).

You will need to un pin the center of the flaps in order to pin all the way from the fold to the vertical line on either side.

Repeat to pin both the top and the bottom (4 separate pinned areas).

5. Sew each pinned area. You will either sew from the marked line to the corner of the fold, or from the corner of the fold to the marked line.

Try to keep the edges lined up as neatly as possible and sew 1/8” away from the edge.

Repeat for all 4 pinned areas.
