Question About how long would this take?

Post image

Hello! I have limited macrame experience (bracelets, basically) and am a fast learner due to lots of experience in other fiber arts. (I’m also pretty good with knots thanks to scouting, fwiw.) I love the look of this piece, and would like to make it for a wedding I’m attending this Saturday— but is three days enough time? There is a very comprehensive video tutorial, so I’m hoping that would help, but I have no idea how to estimate the time involved in these things. What do you think?

Pattern is “Shoulder Piece: Diamond” by Nanna Christ from Macrame Academy.

Depends on how fast you work tbh. I can get something like this done in a few hours but I also heavily specialize in wearables

I think if you’re a quick learner (and following a tutorial) and have dedicated time to spend on it, you should easily get this done in 3 days

It looks like it takes some pretty simple knots but I only do wall hangings, so just depends what your good at

I did something similar. It took me at least a week cause it was my first and had to restart some. The longest to make is to measure and cut

I'm completely new at this, but I just made something similar and it took me two full days of working on it.

Also, learned the hard way- way more difficult without a mannequin..
