Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from natural rattan reed over a solid hardwood bottom, with a furniture-grade layered birch lid fastened with solid brass nails, by the Mast family, Old-Order Amish weavers on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it. The Biggest Box in the Family: 17 x 11 1/2 inches and 12 1/2 inches tall: a deep compartment under the hinged lid, about 7 inches deep, for fabric, projects and pattern books, and below it a full woven drawer basket, 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, that pulls out for the tools and the notions. Leather Carry Handles: Hand-cut, riveted leather handles on each end, so a box this size still moves from the sewing room to the family room. Measures: 17" x 11 1/2" x 12 1/2" 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. No liner is made for this box. 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 sewing box for the sewer whose supplies outgrew the sewing basket. "The size is perfect and already full of things I seem to always be searching for!" Roddie wrote in 2025. Susan keeps her larger craft pieces in it: "They look so much better in the basket than a bag or box, The size holds a lot of my larger items." Every one of its reviews is five stars, and Gloria, in 2023: "It holds all my basic tools. It looks beautiful. I'm sure it will become an heirloom." It is a heavy, solid piece, and owners say so with approval. "It is so well made and aesthetically pleasing," Julia wrote of the box her husband gave her for Christmas in 2025. "It is quite heavy, too. I have it displayed in my office and plan on using it each time I sew." Cheryl: "So beautiful, and made so well. They will be handed down to friends and family." The drawer is a full second basket sliding in a wooden frame, wood on wood, so it can ride with a little friction when new and eases with use. The lid is furniture-grade layered birch, which is why it stays flat over an opening this wide. No liner is made for it; the solid bottom and the finished weave keep everything where it belongs. A new box can carry the smell of its stain for a few weeks; it is safe, and it fades with air. If you want the same design that fits a table, the Large Sewing & Craft Basket has a divided top at 15 1/2 inches; for furniture on legs with a lift-off lid, the Large Sewing Chest; for yarn that feeds from the box, the Knitting Basket on the knitting page. The Mast family weaves this box by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same Old-Order Amish community as the rest of our sewing family, and the weaver signs it before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free and takes 3 to 5 weekdays; rush delivery at checkout arrives in 2 to 4 weekdays 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. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked; you pay only the return shipping. Measures: 17" x 11 1/2" x 12 1/2" tall
