Vintage Sewing Basket | Large Amish Sewing Box w/Organizer Tray

• Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from natural rattan reed over a solid hardwood bottom, with a solid wood lid, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
• A Sorted Inside: A nested tray with dividers lifts out with the notions in their sections. Under it, 25 dowel pegs stand in the bottom of the basket to hold spools of thread upright; they lift out if you would rather have the open space.
• A Solid Wood Lid: The lid is one piece of wood rather than woven, so it closes flat over the tray; a leather strap snaps it shut.
• Leather Strap Handle: Hand cut and riveted, long enough to carry the basket at your side.
• Measures: 13 1/2" x 11 1/2" x 7" tall. Contents not included.
• Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on.
• Optional Extras: Protective feet and an engraved solid brass plate are each optional and sold right on this page. The tray and the pegs come with it.
• 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.

This is the sorted one. Where our drawer boxes give you open space, this basket gives every spool a peg and every small thing a section, which is why it goes out as a gift so often. "My wife love it as a Christmas present," Zachary wrote in 2026. "Definitely unique." Cinthia gave hers to a granddaughter: "beautifully made and highly functional."

Julie, in 2025: "It's the perfect size for all of my sewing items." Kelly, in 2019: "Impeccable craftsmanship in this beautiful and yet functional item. I know this will become a family heirloom."

The pegs arrive in a little bag, counted out by the family's youngsters. The lid is solid wood and closes with a leather strap and snap. If you would rather have open space and a drawer, the Large Sewing & Craft Basket is the same size with sections in the top and a drawer below; for a divided tray you can drop into a round basket, see the Antique Styled Sewing Basket.

An Old Order Amish family weaves this basket by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our sewing baskets, and the weaver signs it before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when a birthday or Christmas is close. It 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 carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked.
