- Hello Shiny Crafty People and welcome back to the channel! I'm Tim Totten and today we're transforming two Pioneer Woman placemats into a super easy and fun casserole carrier!
Have you ever gifted someone a pan of brownies or a lovely homemade casserole and wanted a better way to present it? Tired of losing your best casserole dish? This entire ensemble cost just $13 in materials and makes a great item you can either gift or not worry about getting back if they forget to return it!
Here's a breakdown of what I used to make this project:
2 Placemats (Pioneer Woman Patchwork from Walmart): $6.94 for two
1 13x9 Metal Pan with Lid (from Dollar General): $5.00
1 Strip of Hook & Loop Fastener (11" pieces): Less than $1.00
Matching thread
Sewing Machine
Scissors
I've made two more of these since recording this video and I was able to complete them in less than 10 minutes each!
What an easy way to coordinate with your own decor or to complement the decor of the person you're gifting to! Imagine seeing a special design on someone's gift registry and getting additional placemats to make gifts like this to go with it.
Thanks again for joining me and, until next time, stay crafty!

Love this quick sew project and it protects my curling iron when traveling! Thank you!!😊
Thank you so much. When you sewed over the end where the zipper pull was I was saying, "Tim, Tim, Tim no, no, no."😂 It really was a great lesson though. Thanks for not cutting that out of the video and showing how to correct the mistake.
Cute curling iron bag.
Sooo cute ! Thank you!🤗❤️😘🙏🌹
Neet, great idea.
So sweet 😋
Loving your inspiration
Love this project! As I was watching I was yelling at you unzip the zipper before you sew it shut 😊 LOL 😂
Lol! I’m glad someone was paying more attention than I was. Haha
Love your tutorials, especially showing us that mistakes do happen and how to fix them. Your explanations are easy to understand and you don't complicate things, thank you.
That's very kind of you! I figured that too many tutorials are just some super-quick thing with no words (just music) and don't always give you the details you need. And I know people make mistakes and I hope it makes people feel like they can do the stuff I do if they see I also make mistakes. I never manufacture a mistake, but I also never take them out of the video because I think we all learn from mistakes.
Happy sewing!
LOL! "It doesn't like me right now."
I love that you are brave enough to leave your mistakes in!
0l0lllll
Great videos! I love that you leave mistakes it, as I am a novice sewer, it gives me confidence to know that its OK to make a mistake and be able to correct and go on...thanks
Zipper locks when tab is down!
Love the project idea!
Good to know! I’ll have to remember that.
I just LOVE the way you do diagrams & clearly explain processes... and the end products are gorgeous! .. For me: logical is so much better, especially with visuals... a "whole head" experience... Thanks!
Love your videos. I want to make some items with the placemats, and this is a great one to do.
Great episode!
Another great idea, Tim. I’ll try it! Thanks.
Awesome. Just straight forward stitching. No extra needed. You have taught me more in these few videos. Very few get to the nitty giddy like you do. Appreciate it.
I use an extra-long zipper to make assembly easier (with additional length on both ends). Then I can cut the zipper to size.
That's a great idea.
Love it. Thank you for sharing
I love it!
I really like this one makes a good gift for my teenager ...thanks Tim
Just make sure they aren’t putting HOT irons into this unless you use a cotton placemat. The pioneer woman ones are polyester and can melt with a hot iron.
Great, easy video! Thanks, Tim!
What a great idea! Thank you for posting!
Ooo that’s really nice! I will be giving it a try thank you ♥️
Is brilliant idea so easy
I would have sewn my zipper shut like that, too! I get so caught up in some details and totally miss others. I'm going to make a couple of these for my daughters in law.
Have you ever tried zipper tape.
When sewing across the end where the zipper pull is, I sew up to the zipper tape, back stitch, sew across the zipper tape with basting stitches, sewing slightly past the zipper tape, back stitch to the zipper tape, then stitch forward again with regular stitching. Then I remove the basting stitches in order to unzip the zipper. That narrow area where the basting stitches were, help to hold the unzipped sides if the zipper together, however, I slip in a piece of masking tape just below the line if stitching, which helps to hold the sides of the zipper together while I sew over it. After trimming the tails, I coat them with Fray Bond to prevent raveling.
As soon as I remove the zipper from the package, I give it some steam, and then use the tip of the iron to press the zipper tape. This removes the folds. If I don’t press the zipper, it remains lumpy unless I place the pouch over something that will allow me to press it from the wrong side, which is awkward.
Neat. I hate zippers and am glad to know professionals make booboos to. This looks pretty nice. Thanks. 💚 it.
Glad your hand healed too!
Thank you! For both comments.
Very cute! I would put webbing handles on it though.
Video was good, only thing I would add is to lengthen, not shorten your stitch length with so many layers. You might go over ends twice, but definitely a longer length. I sew lots of bags and really never use a small stitch length.
I put wonder tape on my zippers when doing the zipper like u r doing,it holds the zipper great and no pins necessary and it holds it in place with no shifting
Good tip! Thanks.
Have you thought about using glue to hold the fabric and zipper together to sew?
Leave the zipper flap open you silly goose! and it will slide right back where you want it..... chuckle, chuckle! Thanks
How can this be done with a decorative/lace zipper?
How long is the zipper?
This one was 9” but I’d prefer a 14” or 12” if I did another one.
I was yelling at you….unzip before you sew !!!!
Lol. I can believe that!
Where are you? I miss you’re tutorials; hope you’re well
Just made a couple of videos. Will begin uploading again in a few days.
