About This Basket

This Amish Mending Basket is a handy and beautiful way to keep your darning and sewing supplies handy and in one place. This basket is handcrafted by Old Order Amish families who live and weave baskets in the American Heartland. They use the highest-quality materials and old-world techniques to create baskets that are durable, unique, and functional. Each basket is signed by the Amish family member who crafted it, adding a personal touch to the basket. This mending basket measures 11 1/2" in diameter and 5" tall, making it spacious enough to hold your scissors, thread, needles, buttons, yarn, and other sewing notions. An optional lid and removable fabric liner are also available. The optional liner is machine washable and made from cotton broadcloth, the same material the Amish use to make their dresses. This unique sewing storage basket has a round shape and a flat bottom to sit stably on any surface, and its tapered design makes it easy to pick up and carry with you. This mending basket will keep your sewing items organized and accessible while adding a touch of rustic charm and elegance to your decor. This Amish Mending Basket is more than just a storage container. It is a piece of art that reflects the craftsmanship and culture of the Amish people. This woven wicker mending basket is handcrafted in the Heartland of the USA, and it will be signed by the Amish craftsperson who creates your darning and sewing notion storage basket. (Contents Not Included. The liner and lid are optional additions.)

Measures: 11 1/2" diameter x 5" tall

BUILT TO LAST

Each basket's solid wood bottom is the foundation of its lasting durability.

To guarantee strength that will not warp, even after many years, every bottom is cut from furniture-grade, 1/2-inch layered birch. It's then carefully secured with solid brass nails, creating a base that's as reliable as it is beautiful.

QUALITY MATERIALS

Each basket is built with hardwood poplar posts, providing strong vertical stability.

Then handwoven from wickering reed, a natural material chosen for its flexibility and strength. This combination not only gives each basket its unique look and feel, but also ensures lasting durability that can stand up to everyday use.

SIGNED BY THE CRAFTER

Every basket is handmade by Amish families, carrying forward generations of tradition.

To honor that craftsmanship, each piece is personally signed by its creator and arrives with a heartfelt letter, connecting you directly to the family. This personal touch makes every basket more than just a product. It's a piece of heritage.
