About this Product
This basket is made from wrapping strips of fabric around clothesline and then sewing them together. The yellow fabric was a perfect contrast to the multicolored fabric chosen for this basket. The scraps chosen for this basket, determined its size. The base is about 3 inches. While the depth is a mere 2 inches, the width is 7 inches, making it perfect for throwing your keys and loose change in. Or maybe your watch, rings and bracelets. Or it can be a candy bowl if you are watching your weight!
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
Sometimes, it's better to cover clothesline with strips of fabric rather than making my own rope. That's what happened here. The number of strips of fabric I had, determined how large the basket would be. I'll be honest, I'm having trouble deciding if I should call them bowls or baskets. The problem is they can be used as both. I wanted this basket to have a contrast, so that is why I chose the yellow. I knew I wanted a different embellishment, so I decided to go with a yellow knot.
