Hamper details - the top of these chest hampers are finished off with a 5 rod wale which acts as a lip for the lid to rest on. The section above is the narrowest rod border available, a 2 rod border, this is necessary to leave ample space for the lid to slide over.
The best result for me is when the lid and border ever so lightly kiss when opening or shutting😘🌿

If you ever get chance to make a basket, I highly recommend it, the feeling is bludy lovely!

Creating a book has taught me an incredible amount, including publishing terms like “lifestyle shot” (pictured above) and “standfirst,” the opening paragraph of a new section or chapter.
What began with my main concern being the need for textured pages has gradually evolved into a focus on the book’s actual content, you'll be pleased to hear😂🌿

For the next two days we're filming the last sections of my book, so to tide the timeline over here's a series of baskets I made a while ago for The Peninsula, a swanky hotel in London💪🌿

This book has certainly been a marathon not a sprint😂
I take my hat off to folks who write books as well as have jobs, you're all mad👏

I can't wait to share this with you all and also can't thank my publishers enough for their patience & guidance, especially Tom, I salute you sir🫡🌿

I can't wait to share more info soon...

Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest. These little leather pulls have become my 'go to' on baskets which will get lots of use. Simple but effective, a bit like the maker 🌿

Traditional chest hamper with frills🌿

For all the basket nerds out there, these days I actually prefer making chest hampers the opposite way around to the one shown above. To me, it gives the basket a cleaner finish without looking quite so ornate.

On this basket, the track border has blunt corners with end posts on the lid, but my preference now is for a square track border with a blunt-cornered lid instead. The two fit together like a glove🧤
