Macramé: Create Unique Clothing

For Sara Moreno, founder of the interior design and home décor brand Fruto Samore, creating macramé clothing is her way of contributing to a more sustainable and creative society. Hand crafting with macramé allows her to concentrate on the textures of her designs and provides a respite from this fast-paced world we live in.

In this course, learn how to use macramé techniques to create timeless clothing designs from scratch. Reinvent this traditional technique alongside Sara and explore its endless possibilities to add a bohemian flair to your wardrobe. Dive into a world of knots and cords to create unique pieces of clothing.

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.
