I made another casserole carrier for fundraising for Gramma Link Africa. I used a beautiful warm green floral cotton fabric which feel so soft. It was part of part of a cut out garment which we were not going to be able to sell so this will give it another life. I used a palm tree cotton from my stash for the inside. It worked out really well. I used one of the battings I made the other day and chose to layer my pieces (22" square) and then sew all the way around leaving an opening to turn it right side out. I trimmed the batting to the edge of the fabric pieces before turning it. I added two rows of top stitching in coordinating thread around the perimeter after a good pressing. I used scraps of the palm tree fabric to make my handle (23") and my two loops (6.5"). It feels a little lighter because it has light weight fabric and a lighter weight batting but I expect it will do the job of keeping a casserole hot or cold.
