This was the way the white Sally basket was made. The sallies were tied into bundles and boiled, then they were pealed. If an open work basket was required, they would get three fine sallies together and work them into an open work baskets. Some people used them for holding eggs, and others for holding clothes. A sewing basket would usually be lined with fancy material of some sort.
