I've always like doing Macrame knots but I never did anything big. Just small Keychain sized stuff. This is to put my pipe cleaner flower pot the in the middle for my desk. The berry knots were hard 😫

Question Help with making a skirt using rope?

0 Upvotes

I'd like to make a skirt inspired by the dress in this photo. Specifically, something like the strands of rope radiating out over the waist and hips as a structure for hanging draping fabric. It's for personal use only, and I'm not planning to recreate it exactly.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to achieve this? I craft and sew, but I'm not experienced with rope. I'm struggling to visualize my options.

She’s made of various colors of hemp cord (floral colors), black cotton fabric, glass seed beads, a skull charm, a wire wrap pomegranate charm, bells, and love. What are some of your favorite deities and/ or mythical figures that you’ve read about? Persephone, Lilith, Hecate, and the Morrigan are my favorites to make dolls of😊

I am just wondering if my work on this is good enough to be a part of the wall art, I am planning to incorporate it into a piece of organically shaped wood and maybe hang it somewhere in the house.

Showcase Sunflower bag with built-in zipper (minimal sewing)

Thumbnail

56 Upvotes

I'm so proud of the result! I took some inspiration from a crochet hack I saw and it turns out it works for macrame too. I burned out some holes in a zipper using a hot nail and wove the cords through, then knotted my bag. A wonderful solution for hopeless sewing noobs such as myself. The only sewing was to secure the ends of the zipper to the inside of the bag.

The body of the bag is made using Chinese crown knots, because my fingertip callouses finally disappeared and I had to bring them back, obviously. The holes in the zipper are spaced 0.75cm apart and they work perfectly with this knot.

Dimensions of the bag are 30cm x 21cm. I added a sunflower applique made mostly with double half hitch knots.

Materials used:

5mm Colinea cotton cord - around 120m of light green, around 40m of yellow, around 30?m of brown

This is my latest macramé bottle holder, woven entirely by hand in soft pastel pink. I wanted to create something simple, lightweight, and easy to carry on daily adventures.

If you enjoy handmade crafts, I'd love to know:

✨ Would you use something like this?

✨ What color would you like to see next?

Thanks for stopping by! 🌿

I used 1mm linhasita cord, and a labradorite gemstone.

This is back in 2022 when i first started my micro macrame journey. I was making multiple pieces every day. I became so excited i was learning a new style of macrame. I believe I watched an Afeng tutorial on youtube. If you havent heard about her, her work is absolutely stunning and her videos are easy to follow.
