My Mother's Mother used to do Pine needle baskets, using the very long pine needles and raffia-like straw or waxed cording. She also incorporated slices of nut shells as decorative elements on the handles.
She even made a clock, and a large round basket with a lid that I use as a sewing basket.

I've always said someday I'll learn to do that but so far I haven't had time.
P.S. I have the same fabric on my furniture.
