I keep seeing this fabric thing in the linen section at the opshop & I keep picking it up because I like the fabric & it catches my eye, but I haven’t the foggiest what it is. A fellow opper suggested last week that it was something to carry a baby in, but I should think that would result in a speedy dash to the Emergency room.
I’d say it’s about 45cm X 45 cm in size, has handles sewn into the inside (if it IS the inside..) & each corner has a folded over piece of the outer fabric secured with a button. I should have taken a photo with my phone but I forgot I had it, so you get a hastily drawn mess instead.
…so…? What is it? If you have any idea what this could be, in spite of the crappy drawing, please tell me! I will be wondering for weeks to come unless somebody buys the bloody thing.
I have no idea... but will be coming back to see if anyone else knows.
ReplyDeleteIs it a casserole carrier? I had no idea such a thing existed but just came across a picture of one tonight.
ReplyDeleteCan you undo the corner pieces? It looks like maybe you could undo the corner pieces and it would turn into a big bag. Like one of those big bags that folds down into a smaller bag.
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest casserole carrier too, we had to make one a few years ago fow sewing classes... I asked why and was told so I could take my casserole to the neighbours house??? OK.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, but like the idea of casserole carrier (and am being transported back in time to all the "bring a plate" events of my childhood...)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think it very well may be a casserole cover, even if some aspects still confuse me. Obviously my picture is upside down, but Google has yielded no results of a cover the same - all the square ones do up differently & have different handle placement, but I guess it would work, something like this; http://www.nancysnotions.com/product/wrap+n+go+carrier+pattern.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=1# but with the buttons...
ReplyDeleteThank you guys! Having never made a casserole to take anywhere (Car - did you say "But what will I have for dinner?"), I would never have realised such a thing existed, but thinking logically now, about the fabric choice, it is probably from the "Pot Luck Era"!
OMG you're hilarious! We should have just bought the damn thing for a joke and had a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love this post!
ReplyDeleteIt represents so many of the best aspects of blogging.
And a casserole carrier?? Who woulda thought??
I'd say a casserole carrier too or how what about a small dog carrier LOL!
ReplyDeleteCasserole carrier? Who carries enough casseroles to require a casserole carrier?? WTF?
ReplyDeleteI should get one for my mother! She is queen of the casserole. We grew up on them. Needless to say, I have never ever made one! :)
ReplyDeleteWTF indeedy
ReplyDeleteGOSH, this is weird. You should buy the damn thing and take a walk with your casserole. And blog about it. Oh yes :D.
ReplyDeleteI have no freaking idea what that might be. I love your "WTF" in the corner of the drawing.
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law has one and its a casserole carrier..well hers is anyway. Best of luck discovering its function.
ReplyDeletedid you go back and buy it?? mmmm casserole for dinner then ♥
ReplyDeleteI'm with the casserole holder brigade. Looks VERY similar to one we had a casserole delivered in 2 years ago when my dad past away. I swear we didnt need to cook for weeks after....
ReplyDeletejust reading your comments, and realise that you have, indeed, already discovered the answer! my grandmother-in-law also has one just like it too - the casserole carrier! fortunately (in reference to a more recent post!) I usually see said casserole carrier with yummy cauliflower cheese keeping warm inside at family lunches. mmmmm, cauliflower cheese . . !! :) x
