Hello Farmgirl friends!
I’ve been working on a design to sew a darling fabric casserole carrier… something like a purse to carry your casserole to a potluck! And I’m ready to share it so you can make it too!
.
.
I’ve written a detailed pattern for you to follow and you can click the link here to print it, or save it to your computer to use later!

I used a really fun fabric that is bright, colorful and felt very much like my kitchen! This fabric came in a jelly roll – 2.5 inch strips and it really made it perfect for this project. You can also cut 2.5 inch strips from any fabric that you love. I also did a quick machine quilting along each side of the seams; its a great way to give a project like this some dimension!

The carrier uses velcro to keep it closed. And cotton webbing for the strap handles. I chose to use some of my left over fabric strips to sew onto the webbing… my pattern shares a really quick and fun way to attach it.
.
.
I “hid” my velcro stitching on the outside of the carrier by sewing a cute little fabric patch from a fabric selvedge I had saved!
.
I’m looking forward to the next potluck I go to… so I can carry my casserole dish in Farmgirl Style! I hope you’ll make one for yourself! Be sure to let me know if you do!
.
Til our gravel roads cross again… so long!

So pretty
Hi Margie,
Thank you! I love how it turned out!

Your carrier looks so cute and handy!
Hi Donna,
Thank you!!! I haven’t gotten to take it to a potluck yet but I’m excited to!

Perfect timing!
I just got some glass 9 x 13 glass dishes and desperately want to store in bags that will protect while in storage, insulate the food and help transport safely! How clever you are. My sister married name was Trautmann by the way! Thanks, I am now motivated to clean my sewing room just so I can make the bags!
I head up the card ministry at my church. I would love to send these snapshot cards to many people in my church. The first card I would send would be to Ruth, who just had to put her husband of 70 years into an assisted living dementia home. She is feeling very grateful that he is in the right place but sad that he cannot be home with her.

What a WONDERFUL idea! I’d been doing something like this but the List is even better! Sine only my cousin lives nearby and has been my ROCK, she’ll be the first on my List!!
Hi!! I’m here in the small town of Decorah, IA. Born and raised here on a small farm Northeast of town. I read this email and your blog I really liked the idea of writing to everyone who’s special to me. My goal is to send a letter to people I haven’t seen in quite some time. I’m planning to sit down write now to make my list!!
