I recently went to a potluck and saw someone bring a pie wrapped up in a pie carrying tote! I thought that was pretty nifty type of tote to carry a pie! This makes a nice holiday gift, especially if you brought a pie with it!
You will need to measure your pie pan to see how much fabric you will need. My dish is a standard Pyrex pie pan, but you may need a little bit more fabric if you have a deep dish or a bulkier pan.
Finished Size 16″X16″
Materials
- 1/2 yard each of two contrasting fabrics
- 2-1.5″ diameter metal rings
- 1/2 yard or scraps of quilt batting
- Wash and iron your fabrics
- Cut an 18″X18″ square of each fabric
- Cut two 3″X22″ strips for the handle
- Cut pieces of quilt batting, one 18″ square, and one 3″x22″ strip
- Lay square cotton pieces right sides together. Place quilt batting on top. Do the same for the strap.
- Sew all sides together of the 2 pieces, leaving a big enough hole to turn fabric to right side out.
- *Check to see if you need to trim cotton strap to size.
- Sew holes closed. Press.
- Sew a 1/4″ seam around the whole edge of the square and the strap.
- Quilt the square piece with a pattern you like. I simply sewed an X from corner to corner.
- Attach metal rings at 2 opposite diagonal corners by turning corner over ring and stitching down.
- For the other diagonal corners, attach cotton strap, one strap edge to each corner.
- To use, place pie under strap, centered on square. Fold the metal ring corners over the pie and over lap rings. Thread strap through the rings, which makes a loop handle.
very handy!
Looks great! I will be trying it.
Where did you find the metal rings you used in the casserole carrier? The only ones I have seen are quite thick and heavy:(
Thank you
I actually found them at a garage sale! I think similar ones can be found at fabric stores. The only other place I can think of is a tack or leather shop.
Thanks for this great tutorial! Love the fabrics!
Thank You!
Super cute! I’m thinking “great hostess gift.” Bring a pie in it and leave the carrier.
Great idea , simple to make.
I just started learning to sew and I made this for a Christmas present this year. And it actually worked! Very easy and a great gift idea.
Make it 25″ square and it fits and pot or pan and self adjusts to fit.
thanks, this would mail easy for gifts also
Such a cool idea!
I made one for my daughter and made the (mistake?) of telling my sister. LOL. Now I have two ordered for her and a friend of hers.. Thanks for making it easy to follow your instructions.. Jack
