Here’s what we’re working on in the 1840 Farm Studio. Click on a photo to enlarge.
I'm at the sewing machine bright and early this morning. I hope that you're ready for a steady stream of basket photos in your newsfeed today! #1840farm #FarmhouseStyle #basket #fabric #sew #handmade #repurposed #EtsyShop
I can't seem to decide which one if these fabric coils to work with first. Do you have a favorite?
I just added this colorful Medium Egg Basket to our Etsy shop. Visit https://www.etsy.com/listing/200334480/medium-egg-basket-0437 to take a closer look!
Our first ready to ship Market Tote has been added to our Etsy Shop! I love this basket's combination of colors and patterns. The cornflower blue thread accents it all so nicely. As you can see, our baskets are easily reversible, allowing you to create
I'm going to step out of the farmhouse kitchen to stitch up an egg basket for our shop. So far, I love how these jewel tones are coming together!
My morning at the sewing machine is off to a lovely beginning!
Often, I struggle with condensing my thoughts into a concise statement. That was certainly the case when I was working to create a special tag for the baskets in our new Handmade & Heartfelt Collection. These baskets will have a theme and raise money fo
I added our new Fall Collection Recipe Cards to the 1840 Farm Mercantile Shop yesterday. I'm making up a few sets this morning and wondering which one of these drawings will be the most popular. While these cards are offered as a set, we'll be making up
And then there were six! Our 1840 Farmhouse Style Fall Placesetting Table Basket Set is finished. I hope that you'll love this set as much as I do!
Working with one of my favorite color combinations is a nice way to start the week!
I have been waiting to work this fabric from our local thrift store into a basket. The fabric had the selvage tag still attached which included the name "Be Thankful". It seems like the perfect fabric in color and name to work into a table basket for a Th
I'm settled in at the sewing machine with a second cup of coffee working with one of my favorite color combinations. Monday is off to a great start!
It was a beautiful, crisp evening tonight. I took the opportunity to take photos out on the porch so that I could add our 1840 Farmhouse Style Mason Jar Vase Kits to our Etsy shop. Now I have put all of the animals to bed and poured myself a cup of coff
Here's what is taking shape here this evening. It won't be long until this fabric is stitched together into a Puppy Love Basket. Penny Lane and I can't wait to watch it take shape! #1840farm #fabric #basket #sew #handmadeandheartfelt #handmade #etsyshop
This basket is taking shape and looking fantastic. I never tire of working with this combination of colors. I just love them together, don't you? #fabric #thread #handmade #repurposed
These baskets were all shipped out during the last few days. Five of them were holiday baskets, the last of them for the year. Don't worry, we'll bring them back again next year. Until then, we'll keep stitching and sharing new baskets with you. We just
Guess what I am working on this afternoon? #1840farm #fiber #wool #felt #dryerball #handmade #etsy #etsyshop
Since opening The 1840 Farm Mercantile Shop on Etsy, we've mailed out more than 425 orders. It's hard to believe that we've sent more than 500 baskets and other items to customers in the U.S., Canada, Alaska, and Australia. Yet here I sit, writing a han
I just added our first 1840 Farm Paper & Ink Collection listings to our Etsy Shop. I'm so excited about these items because they allow me to indulge my love of drawing, designing, and working with paper. I love working with paper every bit as much as I
This Easter Basket is ready to hold all sorts of holiday goodies. It's perfectly sized for chocolate bunnies and treats or Easter eggs for the table or an egg hunt. I can't wait to send it off to be a part of someone's Easter celebration for years to come
How about a Medium Egg Basket in bold primary colors?
This color combination was very popular last weekend. Baskets were selling before I could even finish them! So, let's start this weekend off in the same way as last weekend. Here's what I'm working on at the sewing machine right now...
I am at the sewing machine stitching up several Farmhouse Style Mason Jar Vase Kits this morning. They'll be coming to the shop this week in a rainbow of colors, so stay tuned!
It's time to pack up a few orders and send this lovely assortment of baskets on their journey to their new homes. If you placed an order from our shop during the last week, you just might see your basket in this photo!
This seems like a good way to end my day at the sewing machine, don't you think? #1840farm #fabric #basket #sew #handmade #etsyshop
Yesterday's basket turned out even better than I had hoped. I might need to make a few more in this fabric combination for our shop, don't you think?
Yesterday, I asked if you were ready for our Holiday Collection to start filling up The 1840 Farm Mercantile Shop on Etsy. You answered with a resounding yes. So, here I am settled in at the sewing machine stitching up baskets to do just that. Stay tuned
The very first Valentine's Day Heart Shaped Basket is leaving the studio today. I decided that it needed an appropriately festive thank you card and recipe card to go along with it. They're both decorated with a simple barn red heart with white stitchin
Another patchwork basket is in the works.
Let's start our day in the studio with a bit of cranberry and sage. #1840farm #fabric #egg #basket #handmade #repurposed #etsyshop
Look what is taking shape at the sewing machine this afternoon...
There's something just lovely about a ball of wool yarn. The color, the texture, the infinite possibilities! #1840farm #wool #fiber #felt #yarn
It looks like a Winter Wonderland outside, but I plan on keeping things bright and cheery at the sewing machine. Stay tuned for photos of the baskets as they take shape! #1840farm #fabric #handmade #sew
Suddenly, the studio looks like Valentine's Day central with all of these Heart Shaped Table Baskets and Candy Jar Sets! #1840farm #farmhousestyle #fabric #heart #basket #trivet #valentine #valentinesday #etsy #etsyshop
Working with these bright fabrics is helping me forget that there's more snow on the way tonight and tomorrow!
This patchwork basket was made using snippets from eight past basket projects. It's really no wonder that it is so unique and such an interesting combination of colors and patterns!
I find that you just can't go wrong with polka dots and gingham!
These fabrics are coming together even better than I had hoped. I can't wait to see if the finished basket is as beautiful as the beginning!
After this morning's bright pink basket, I thought that we'd make something in muted tones. I love this purple, blue, and grey combination, don't you?
I am planning to work on a fresh crop of baskets, trivets, and coasters for our shop this weekend. Is there something specific you're hoping to see me add? Let me know what's on your wish list by leaving me a comment and I will do my best to stitch it
