About this Product
There is no limit to what you can make with fabric rope. It's simply choosing the colors you want to use and finding the best way to combine them, twisting and forming the rope. This basket is approximately 24 yards of fabric rope. The red, cream and black colored scraps provide a unique blend of colors that make a vibrant bowl. Some people call them baskets, other's bowls. For me the two are interchangeable. When I was close to finishing the bowl, I decided that this one could be fun as loops. I even left a little tail on, so you can see what some of the fabric looks like other than as the twisted rope.
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
It takes hours and hours to make fabric rope. Once you have all of your scraps ready and your scissors, you can get into a rhythm and it's not so bad. The edges are raw, so that is why you'll sometimes see loose threads. I hadn't tried red, cream, and black before. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. When I start making the bowls, I let it evolve and just go with the flow. As it turned out, by making loops as the final detail, this particular bowl can even be used as a knitting bowl.
