About this Product
This basket was made using a technique covering clothesline with fabric scraps. It is sewn using a regular sewing machine. The edges are raw giving it a rustic look. It is finished off with a circular piece which has a bead for embellishment. The scraps came from a friend, so the hints of green here and there are from her studio. it's a perfect size, 3-inch base with a depth of about 3 inches and 6.5 inches wide, for a wrapped candy bowl. It can also be used as a catchall in the bedroom or for a number of other things.
Tower Creations by Madeline
Meet the Maker
I’ve always loved creating, with a philosophy of renew, redo, and repurpose. My work includes scarves with a unique edging technique, fabric baskets, soft fabric pins, and repurposed treasures like wooden spool scissor holders and chipped china jewelry trays.
Driven by both sustainability and imagination, I transform scraps and vintage finds into functional art while also designing new, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each creation is made with care, carrying its own quiet story of transformation.
Inspired by the meaning of my name, Madeline, I see my work as a tower—grounded in strength, elevated by creativity, and open to light. I’m deeply grateful for my supportive husband, our blended family of four children, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren—my greatest motivators. And of course, Ollie, our four-legged house boss, who graciously allows us to share her home.
How it’s Made
Even though I use fabric scraps to make a bowl like this, it isn't the same as my fabric rope. Here I am using clothesline rope and covering it with fabric scraps, then sewing that on a regular sewing machine. The time comes into how long it takes to wrap the fabric around the rope so it can be sewn. The embellishments are never the same. It's whatever is around and looks good and makes sense.
