About this Product
This multi-colored, multi-use basket was made from fabric scraps turned into a fabric rope or twine if you prefer. Then it was formed and sewn on a regular sewing machine reaching the desired result. A purple bow and orange flower button were added as accents on top of the "tail" left from the rope. It's 5 inches wide at the base. The opening is a generous 8 inches across and 4 inches deep. Use it as a catch all next to your chair watching TV or for rolled up hand towels for a guest bathroom. The uses are endless for this unique basket, aka bowl.
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
I don't believe in wasting, so I am notorious for keeping scraps. Well, sometimes you need to think outside the box. I have so many different scraps, that I chose to blend them and twist them together to make my own rope. After I had made close to fifty yards of rope, I decided to start making a basket which I feel has become a bowl. I used a regular sewing machine and shaped and formed it until I achieved the result I wanted. I have a tendency to embellish most items I make, so that is where I found the two different flowers and combined them to finish off the bowl. Now, it's ready for all kinds of uses.
