Styles and Sizes
All of our coiled fabric pieces are made by hand here at 1840 Farm. Each fabric strip is torn by hand before being combined with other complimentary fabrics and then wrapped around a length of cording, joining the fabrics as we go. The fabric wrapped cord is then coiled and stitched together using a zigzag stitch on my sewing machine. I continue to wrap the coil and shape each item as it is stitched.
Each piece has its own unique color pattern and slight variation in shape. Because every piece is handmade, each one is a true original. Our handmade baskets display the raw edge of the fabrics used to create it. They are handmade in our non-smoking farmhouse.
I make our fabric items using the same technique my Great Grandmother used over 50 years ago. She lovingly transformed worn out clothing into useful household items that were used in their New England farmhouse. While her items were made purely for utility purposes, it is my goal to create beautiful handmade items that can serve a useful purpose in your home.
Our fabric items can be cleaned by spot cleaning or washing in the gentle cycle of your washing machine. Gently reshape baskets or trivets while still damp and allow to air dry. Overturning a damp basket on top of a bowl will ensure that it retains its shape while drying.
Each basket in our Collection comes with a hand signed product tag. The tag includes the date that the basket was finished.
We also make custom pieces to order. Contact us if you have questions or would like to place a custom order. We would love to work together to make a beautiful piece just for you.
We hope to be sending something special from our farmhouse to your house soon!
