What's included in this course?
Start the course by getting to know your teacher, Sara Moreno. She explains how she transforms the world around her into macramé and the techniques she uses to give her creations a trendy, modern look. She also shows you some of her artistic influences, from one-of-a-kind objects to homes with unique personality.
Discover the ancient history behind the art of macramé before getting an introduction to knot therapy, a stress-relieving technique that fosters emotional well-being while creating your designs. Then, go through the materials and tools you need for the final project and start practicing the basic knots.
Search for inspiration for your garment and consolidate your ideas into a sketch on paper. Learn how to properly take measurements to create an outline and calculate cord lengths. Now it's time to warm up your fingers and start working on your vest.
First, weave the shoulders and then work your way down creating textures for the upper half until you reach mid-chest. Knot the center design into your vest, join the front and back pieces at the sides, and decide how long you want the fringes to be.
Finally, Sara shows you how to put the finishing touches along the front edges and shoulders of your vest. Add a splash of personal style by sewing on beads or a decorative trim and get ready to make a creative fashion statement.
What is this course's project?
Make a timeless macramé vest with fringe embellishments.
