About this Product
Having lots of scraps from my granddaughter's time at LSU (Louisiana State University), I knew I needed to do something with them. Making fabric rope is time consuming, but the results are always worth it in my opinion. Nearly 40 yards later, I was ready to tackle another basket. This time my fabric rope dictated a different shaped basket. I chose to anchor the last knot of fabric with three flower buttons, simple but fun. This basket is a good size. It's 5 inches across the base and about 4.5 inches deep. The width of 9 inches allows for a lot of room for lots of things. From small toys to towels, the possibilities are endless.
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 making fabric rope is incredibly time consuming, it's worth it to have another use for fabric scraps and to keep them from the landfill. I had a lot of these colors because of my granddaughter being at LSU. There was no way I was going to get rid of them without trying to make something. Taking my fabric rope and shaping it and sewing it on my sewing machine dictated what kind of basket I would have. The buttons were in my button stash (yes, I have 1000's) so it was a no brainer to use them as the embellishment. The uses for this basket are endless.
