Cute little hands close to mommy!!!! The scene reminds me when my daughter was little and she remained close to me when I was studying. I let her scribble on the edges of my notebook. I still keep those pages!! Later on, while she was going to be in second grade, we moved to USA. I let her "help" me writing my notes, this time on the computer, while she was on my lap. Beside being close and having a good time together, I was reinforcing the writing and reading in our native language while we were in USA learning English. Today she is fully bilingual, not only speaking both languages, but reading and writing them as well.
I really like how you come straight to the point.You don't have this dialog that goes on and on and on. I really enjoyed you tutorial.
I've been sewing since i was 9y/o. So some 57 yrs. Your explanation is very easy, clear & precisely said. Most of these tutorials are too lengthy (gabby) & too Ling to get into the assembly. Thank you!
YOU are one of the best instructors! You speak fast and to the point! I love all your videos!!
Exactly what I need for my next charity project. This was posted 12 years ago! Thank you for sharing all these projects for so many years, 🥰
You’re welcome!
I hope you know what a fantastic instructor you are! Not everyone can teach. You are clear and concise with a clear definition of what we're doing and why we're doing it. Another great video!
I’m glad you are short and concise, not wasting my time chit chatting about nothing. 😊
I did it! I followed your directions and I made a dish carrier! I am so excited! No, it wasn’t perfect, but it is definitely functional! Thank you so much! I did it tonight in just 3 hours. I am a real novice, and I felt empowered!
Perfect instructions. Quick and precise and easy to follow. Something I’ve been wanting to make and you made it easy. I love the simple design and can’t wait to try it out this weekend to bring a dessert for a movie night at my daughter’s. Thank you so much. And the little helping hands are adorable!
My granddaughter saw one like this somewhere and wanted me to make one. I am so glad I found you as I am not good without a pattern or tutorial. So thank you. Your instructions were clear and that is so helpful for old ladies. 😊
Loved those little hands sneaking in the corners! Warms a grandma's heart.
I reckon, as a Nana and great Grandmother I loved it!
My Granddaughter wanted one. Glad I found you! Now my daughter wants one, lol. 😊
Glad you enjoy my tutorials. My son is my little helper and I gotta do what work I can with the kids around. They don't bother me one bit and I love involving them in what I'm doing. Awww. Thanks for your kind words. Just going to keep doing what I do until that great opportunity presents itself. :o)
Gina (61) from Melbourne Australia here. I was hopeless at sewing at school. But I guess one is never too old to learn and try new things. I can’t believe I actually made a beautiful casserole carrier. Followed your clear precise instructions and pronto it was made. Fabulous. Will be making more for Christmas gifts for my family. Thanks again Vanessa. You are a beautiful young woman who has been blessed with gifted hands and brain. You go girl
I made this carrier as a Christmas gift for my neighbor. I put a pie plate inside and she loved it. It was made out of Christmas fabric. I am getting ready to make another out of southern cruisine fabric. Thanks for this wonderful tutorial.
I've made several for gifts and making more for Christmas, thanks for your tutorials
I just watched this without sound (it's not working for whatever reason!) and it's so easy to understand. Thank you so much. This will be my Christmas gifts for my friends this year!
Thank you for the detailed explaination. I am an experiance sewer and have a diffiult time explaining sewing proceedures to others. You make it easy to understand with the resoning behind each step. Thanks again. Have a blessed day
my mom is going to love this!! she loves to cook and is always takin cassorols to church !! i was just thinkin of how i could help her make it a lil easier!! thanks vanessa your awesome!! cant wait for my kids to take a nap so i can get started!!
I did it! I'm a beginner and you really explained very thoroughly. My project isn't perfect but it will hold a dish! Thank you so much!
I found a pair of quilted shams that I liked at the local thrift store. Made those into casserole carriers following your video. Thank you for explaining how to do this. Now I can attend a function and not have to burn my hands on my hot dishes!
Mighty darn clever! Whoever designed this thing is a marvelous engineer. I haven't sewn for decades, so I no longer have the cutting mat and the rotary cutter, the measuring tools, etc., but I still was able to put it together in just one afternoon; it looks splendid, and it will be my gift to my daughter at her birthday brunch tomorrow. She and her little family do potluck dinners with friends once a month, and I think she's going to like having a carrier to tote her contribution to each event.
BTW … I made your oven mitts and gift-card pockets for Christmas this year; they turned out very nicely and were well received. I thought my homemade gifts were a thing of the past, but it looks as if I'll be sewing from now til next Christmas … with your help!
Thank you so much for the directions on making the beautiful casserole carrier. You are great at CLEARLY EXPLAINING and DEMONSTRATING the process. LOVED the helping hands!
Hi Vanessa, I love this pattern !!!!, I have made a lot of these for both myself and friends, this is the best pattern ever!!!
it carries both round, square and rectangular dishes and I have made it a bit bigger to accommodate 2 dishes higher.
I love the fact it hangs on your arm and you can still carry your bag etc. Made mine 25"x25" with pattern cotton drill ( in darker colours) on the inside to hide spills.
Cheers...Janeen
Made one of these with a longer carrying strap to take my iron to sewing group. with the longer strap, the "carrier" becomes an awesome pressing mat. Thank you so much for the pattern.
I made four of these earlier this year, two for me and one for each of my daughters. We were going out for Thanksgiving today and I used both of mine. My other side dish was wrapped in a towel. I thought "I should make another". Obvious idea but this pattern and instructions are so easy and simple, that I can probably get three of them done tomorrow morning, without stress! Great lesson, very clear instructions and the carrier is so nice to use for pot lucks. I pulled out all my smaller pieces of Christmas fabric, and decided to make a few more, when I give away a plate of cookies, it would be nice to "wrap" them in one of these.
I enlarged the pattern to accommodate our largest baking dish -- 13 by 8 inches. You are one of the best instructors I've found! Thank you!
What were the dimensions you cut, please?
Few years behind but I made this. It's great. Took me a little longer because of the quilting I did but I'm sure my second will go together much much faster. Your video is super.
Update: when I washed these the batting seemed to go a little crazy on me and bunchy. I think to make these again I would quilt through all four layers at once and bond the edges. I think that would work better for washing. Don't get me wrong I love the video and the idea. I will be using the ones I've made a good bit.
So nice to watch an early video of yours, Vanessa. Your helper was very young and sweet. Oh, and this pattern is just what I was looking for!
Your tutorials are simply amazing. I am going to make this for sure. No more burning my hands or disturbing the top of a pie with a hand towel! Thanks so much for sharing!
@Loishasel Thanks so much for spreading the word. I'm glad you appreciate and enjoy my tutorials. They are a lot of work... and fun to make!
I did this! I used bias binding for the straps. I also made it a little shorter on one side. I think I will need 26x26 next time but I can still use the one I made for pie or quiche. Nice project!
crisp clear, precise and spot on with terminology. Easy to follow....GREAT job!
I just got my first sewing machine for Christmas and have been trying to do research online to help me get started. I just came across all of your videos on here and cannot be more excited!! You make it look so easy and explain it so well! Can't wait to get started and make my first project!
I made this in jelly roll strips of blues! Beautiful!
Thank you!!! This IS my next project. I will post a picture as soon as I am done. Your videos are easy to follow. thank you for taking the time to put them out for us to learn and enjoy.
your little helper was making sure everything was laying flat. how sweet!
love your helper! time with the kids is important!
@Gobi512 Sorry you found the video too fast. I try to keep my videos as short as I can without losing the quality of the content. One great thing about video is that it can be paused and replayed as often as you want.
just made one for my daughter, and it is so simple and practical!
Glad to help!
Love this pattern. I have made 20+ and everyone loves them :) You are a great teacher :)
awesome project....i am sewing up my stash and using up bits and pieces of leftover batting. Guess what I will be making all of my friends for next Christmas!!! Your tutorials are wonderful. thanks
I made this while watching your tutorial... It is awesome! Thank you so much!
Glad to help!
Sounds like a plan! Have fun!
hi I would like to say thank you I enjoyed your tutorials. I made my first Casserole Carrier and are proud of myself. Thanks again
Thankyou for being fast and simple , great directions 😃
Vanessa I thank you so very much for this excellent video. I make 2 or 3 of these at a time and give them as hostess gifts In our groups of friends and social clubs. Needless to say we are invited out for potluck meals often.
Hi Vanessa. I was so taken with your tutorial that I sat right down and made one! Your instructions were so simple and clear that I had no trouble at all! Many thanks.
I was really hoping it was a 2 sided tablecoth, hint, hint! Second, I thought you had 3 hands for a second and boy was I jealous!
I like how clear your directions are, but given quickly. I can slow it down it I need to, but it zips along quickly when I don't. Now I'm off to make a casserole carrier!
Just wanted to say I love making everything you make, your site is the best tutorial I have ever seen so thank you keep up the amazing job your doing. Also I love watching this video as I think it's adorable that your child is driving his train across your work while your talking 😆
Great instructions! Love the little hands trying to distract, but oh so cute! Thank you!
As soon as I get a break around here (I'm up to my armpits in sewing for others smh), I am going to whip up your potholder and this casserole carrier to match. I will post them to your fb page.
I LOVE this! I've been making these for a year now for friends and family. they are a huge hit!
WOW you make something which usually looks so complicated look sooo easy! I'm def making one of them for myself. Thanks so much.
Easy project; I’ve made several as gifts. Thank you so much!
Love this, thank you for sharing. Will this work with a 13x9?
Nice job. Your instructions are easy to follow. The handle loops are really clever. I never imagined a handle that interlaced like this one does. It’s so simple and brilliant at the same time. Thank you for making this tutorial. It is top notch. (I loved to see your helper and his Thomas the tank engine. My kids are all grown now. I sure miss the days they were all at home and followed me everywhere. It made me feel good to know that my presence made them feel safe and loved.)
Loved the tutorial, and the little hands ❤️
Thank you Vanessa!
Best ever tutorial for an amazingly easy casserole carrier. I’ve made lots of these for hostess gifts.
Great tutorial...I've made two carriers so far and going to make more...thank you for sharing this with us...love it...
Thank you..even with the train racing across the fabric you didn't miss a beat...looks like something I can make!!! Great tutorial...
I always go to your videos first because I enjoy your energy!! I am finally making this carrier and I understand the handle needs to pull a little diagonally but 22” seemed like it pulls way too much. The diagonal measurement is 28”. Help?
You are just so great at teaching. Thanks for your inspiration
Love your style of teaching.
great idea,that little hand was so sweet
Wonderful idea & would make awesome gifts for any reason.
Weird. Not sure why the audio isn't working for you. I hear it fine. But I'm so glad to hear that you could still follow with no sound. Yay! Means I'm doing my job as a teacher. :o)
love the idea and you make all your videos so easy to follow. Think I'll have to get my mums sewing machine back around here so I can get making some of these things - thanks to you I've got loads on my to do list!!!
I may try this, too! Thanks for taking the time to show us this!
Absolutely cleaver. Wonderful. You always do a fantastic job on all of your projects. I look forward to watching them and then doing them you are a great instructor too. So you see how much you give us. Thank you!
I love your videos! Clear, precise and CORRECT every time! Thank you for all you do!
Love your tutorials and this is explained in a simple way to make it easy. Also loved the little train going over the project. So cute!
It must have been hard to do this video with your little helper there. A fantastic video.
Thanks Vanessa!! I'm going to get a head start on Christmas gifts for next year as soon as the craziness ends!! This will make a great gift!!
Excellent!! Love your little helper. The train is a nice touch!!
Great project! I love how the strap keeps the cover closed and is also the handle!
ooooooo I have my next sewing project thanks to you! :-) I bought several people in my family casserole dishes. So I will make these to go with them!!
Thank you so much. I hope to make this as gifts 😊
Thanks, just made some for Christmas gifts.
Thanks Vanessa for the clear and simple video! Do you think it would be doable if I replace the inner piece with a waterproof fabric, and skip the batting for the lining?
Loved this! So easy to follow and will be making more. What is your advise for making one for a 9x13 casserole dish? Thank you!!
@sahinkle44 I was able to but it doesn't look as closed up as the square or round ones. I would suggest starting off with pieces that are a little bigger than the 22" x 22". Maybe do a test one with 25" or 26" squared to start? Good luck!
I think this would be best using a round casserole dish. I am going to make one out of quilted fabric, super simple.
Fantastic . This really is a great video. thankyou for making it very easy to understand.
I just found your "Casserole Carrier" and immediately made one for my daughter. It was such an easy pattern but oh so useful. I'd like to share my completed project but cannot see how to get it to your page. LOL
I'm gonna try and make this tomorrow. Thanks
What a wonderful project. Love your creativity.
Thank you so for sharing this tutorial with us. I made one and I just love it.
@justdawne Thanks for your kind words!! I'm so glad you appreciate the hard work I put into each and every tutorial. Glad to see you are putting them to good use. :o)
someone shared your tutorial on Quilter Friends on FB - i enjoyed it a lot - and think you have such a sweet way of teaching - and I love your little boy's hands and his truck in the tutorial ;-) thank you.
Love your videos easy to follow you are so sweet thank you for sharing
I love this idea, we have alot of pitch ins and this is great. thank you!
@6bymomma Yea, I've seen several different kinds...even with round wooden purse handles sewn in. No problem.
This is just fantastic! I cannot wait to get started on Christmas gifts for next year. I think your videos are fabulous. I can't seem to tell enough people about your site! Thanks so much for taking time to post these videos for us to enjoy!!
Excellent tutorial. Well done.
Easy to understand video I will be making this. Thanks
@101oogie I've seen similar ones and I came up with some measurements, made a prototype for a small 8" pie dish just so I could get the logistics worked out and then I just designed it bigger, etc. Glad you like it! It's a snap to make once those two big squares are quilted. :o)
Aw! That's awesome! Congrats on the new phone and for stopping by! :o)
I just love all your tutorials. Your the best
