Antique Styled Sewing BasketAmish Woven Wicker Organizer w/Stand

• Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from natural rattan reed over a solid hardwood bottom, with a hardwood lid and two wooden swing handles, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
• A Sewing Basket at Chair Height: The round basket sits on a separate 12 1/2 inch wooden stand, 21 inches overall, so the lid is at the height of a chair arm and the scissors are never on the floor. Lift the basket off the stand by its handles and carry it to the next chair.
• Room for the Whole Project: 14 inches across at the top, 11 at the bottom, 9 inches deep: one large project with its notions, or, as one owner counted, five or six small ones.
• The Stand: A wooden tripod with its three legs screwed into a round base and a post the basket sits on. It comes apart from the basket for carrying and for moving house.
• Measures: 14" across x 21" tall on the stand, 26" with the handles up; the stand alone is 12 1/2".
• Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on.
• Optional Extras: A hand-sewn cloth liner (Cream, Wine, Blue, or Green, on its own page), an interior sewing tray basket with a liner made for it, a tray with 9 thread pegs, the leather Yarn Buddy strap for knitters, and an engraved solid brass plate are each optional. The basket is complete without them.
• American Heritage: Handwoven in the USA and signed by the Amish weaver who made it. Backed by our lifetime guarantee, with free shipping and no-questions returns on every order.

It is the basket a grandmother kept beside her chair, and the reviews say so. "It reminds me of one my grandmother had," Patricia wrote in 2022. "It started my love of handcrafted things over 60 years ago. I plan to pass it along to my children and grandchildren." Elizabeth bought one for a friend's birthday in 2021 and "She loved it so much, I got her another one this year. Now she has one for sewing and one for knitting."

People keep coming back to the way it sits. "So nice to have your basket next to you and cover with the lid when not using it," Debra wrote in 2026. "Craftsmanship is beautiful." The lid closes over the work between sessions, which is why Judy keeps her crocheting and cross stitch in hers: "kitty cat can't get at my yarn!" Paula fit "5 -6 small projects" in hers. Crocheters use it too, and it takes the brass plate: "I personalized it which gave it another loving touch," Veronica wrote of her Christmas gift in 2025.

The stand is a separate wooden tripod, 12 1/2 inches tall, with its three legs screwed into the base; the basket sits on the post and lifts off to carry. The cloth liner in four colors is offered on its own page for anyone who would rather the thread never touch the reed. Inside, the interior sewing tray basket, which nests in the top with a liner made for it, and the tray with 9 thread pegs are the two ways to sort the notions; without them the basket is one open bowl. Straight knitting needles up to about 13 inches lie flat in it; for 16 inch needles lying flat, the Craft Caddy, at 17 3/4 inches long, is the better fit. The same basket without the stand is the Round Sewing & Knitting Basket.

This basket is woven by hand, the way Old Order Amish families on the Iowa-Missouri border have woven for generations, and the weaver signs the bottom before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free; if a birthday or Christmas is close, rush delivery is offered at checkout. Every order ships gift-ready, with no prices in the box, a free gift note at checkout, and a short letter about the family who wove it. It is covered by our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked.

Measures: 14" across x 21" tall on the stand
