Casserole carrier

Tonight was sewing night again. Christy and Kellie, two recent sewing converts - who I can apparently call on for an impromptu craft nite- were enticed by my invitation to come and make aprons. We are all apron novices and had them on our lists to try.

At the end of the night, I decided to crank out another item that has been on my list for a while... A casserole carrier/warmer. See exhibit A: Attempted (poorly) to attach a spoon pocket AFTER
sewing the whole thing up. BIG MISTAKE. The fabric is cute, and this will certainly do the job - I'm bringing baked French toast to MOPS tomorrow.... But I'm not sold on the "envelope" styling (read: horizontal tote bag) nor the lame pocket. This may require a second
attempt.
