[@sarah.fb.lindsay]

Oooooh I would love a video to see what other people need help on and the advice you give! It would be amazing to see your problem solving process!

[@noursqushair]

Yes!! This is a great idea!! Like a Q&A but more engaging than typical lifestyle questions

[@dorothytackett9943]

Stir not shake wood stain. Such a simple change and the pillows look high end. I love watching you. We need your positive personality right now.

[@XOMaCenna]

Aww thanks so much!! && thank you 🤦🏼‍♀️ my friend just texted me and told me not to shake too .. that moment when you’ve realized you’ve been doing something wrong for so long lol

[@ca6177]

I like your enthusiasm! Thanks for your creative ideas!👍🏻

[@heyilikemakeup]

One time my dad tried to shake it after I had already opened the lid for him 🥵 yes it did stain the walls and stairs

[@lliissaaaaa]

Those Macramé coasters are everything!!!

[@XOMaCenna]

So cute right!!! 🥰 and macrame is so therapeutic and calming to me 🤤

Lisa Saldana If you’d like you can follow the creator of those coasters @Annecops on Instagram! She unfortunately wasn’t credited here or asked permission for use of her photos.

Laura lee hauled similar ones for like 4 a piece on SHEIN

[@NadiaRizwansabir]

Is that macrame cord is two strand or single strand?

[@sarahasipple]

I love the seam on the pillows on the bed, such a cute detail!!

[@XOMaCenna]

Yay!! It was so subtle but I really liked it too!! Thank you 🥰

[@lostlibrarian8180]

Yes! That seam detail was GENIUS!! Looks great! 🤩

[@paulakelly9244]

If you are interested, MaCenna, those little seams you are adding on the front of the first pillow are called "tucks" or "pin tucks" if they are very narrow. I use them all the time. Beautiful work you do!!!

[@lisacalhoun8080]

I love it!! The first pillow….I never would have thought such a simple seam inthe middle would create such a high end effect. I’ve got to learn to sew now…

[@corinnecorley9584]

A nice distraction. What you call a seam on the cream pillows is actually a kind of piping. Looks lovely.

[@kaylathornton9384]

I love how much you are uploading on both of your channels!! It is always such a great escape from reality! ❤

[@XOMaCenna]

Yay!! So happy your enjoying them 🥰

[@josephinesingson175]

I have feelings that abanico or fan of urs came from our country..thank u for patronizing our products ang thank u for coming here and appreciating the beauty of our country and that's y ur my new fave now..

[@summerdreyer7767]

I think those coasters would even be super cute as placemats!

[@XOMaCenna]

Ooo I love that idea 😍

[@lollylolly8186]

The macrame start is like a magic ring with 5 single crochet for us crocheters:)

[@gustav4458]

MaCenna makes you want to be obsessively clean...😂😂which is a good thing yall I love her.She is amazing.and talented

[@farmers-daughter2000]

Wow the leaf. Pillow stamp pillow was beautiful.

[@leannemcintire3926]

I love that leaf print pillow

[@XOMaCenna]

Yay!! 🥰 🍃

[@sierrareyelts1481]

I love the yellow pillow with the white leaf stamp-prints! So cute! Same with the awesome sun macrame coasters! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kathycourtney7958]

LOOOVE that pillow fabric. You have the absolute best ideas. And the coasters!

[@XOMaCenna]

Thanks so so much!!! 🥰

[@judymartin420]

Absolutely love love love the pillow with painted leaves TOO CUTE

[@MDFI59]

Loved the pillow with the leaves. The fan that you have on your shelf, is just like the fan I had put in our apartment when we got married in 1980! What's old is new again. Stay well!!!

[@rhondawilliams9449]

I like all of your DIY projects today, but the leaf stencil is my favorite, what a great idea. Thank you for this video.

[@yatespippa]

I just found your channel and I am currently in lockdown for 21 days in South Africa and luckily they still sell string as an essential! I've already hand stitched a pillow and made 3 macrame plant holders and a wall hanger!

[@anabeladelgado4109]

I LOVE SUNDAYS!

[@XOMaCenna]

🥰🥰 same

[@Raven61362]

Love, love, love, the blanket ladder. Beautiful!!!

[@JeralynVictoriaArt]

You can also buy fabric spray paint and lay the leaves down arranged on the pillow, gently spray from above, then pick up the leaves and have the silhouettes left behind if you like a crisper edge. Just another option! But otherwise great projects! Thx for keeping us inspired during weird times!

[@macsgrandma7995]

I love the seam down the middle of the pillow. How simple but adds so much texture! I'll be using that trick! Love your videos~

[@Heroine2me]

Your pillows look awesome! Pressing your seems flat before you flip it right Side out helps with the shape. I love the small detail down the centre!

[@lisamaglione8898]

You just made my day ~ so glad I discovered you! On day 52 in self-isolation and am inspired once again to add more creative beauty to this unique time, thank you for lifting the spirits of all of us here!

[@nikolelinares]

Just had to pause the video real quick and call you out for being such a SWEETHEART ❤ taking time out of your schedule to respond to fans' emails...seriously?? Sooo thoughtful & dedicated!! ❤ Ok, now back to the video!

[@XOMaCenna]

Aww thank you so much!! I want to help any way I can 🥰

[@eileenschwind2236]

Love the fold stitch on your linen pillows

[@dezamraz]

To make the leaf pattern on the pillowcase, you could paint the back side of the leaves because the veins are on that side, so it would probably look cleaner and more defined!

[@kelleneellexson1962]

Love the linen fabric. Coasters super cute!! Might be one of my favorite videos.🤎

[@slaayybrina9433]

I watch a ton of DIY videos but this coaster was the reason why i finally placed my amazon order for macrame. Her macrame directions are so easy to follow. She explains everything so well. Love you girl ❤

[@2Behold2]

My 9 year granddaughter is Lyric. She LOVES to watch your channel! Thank you for continuing to inspire. You are very gifted. Stay real and the Lord bless you. From Texas 💚🌺🙏

[@XOMaCenna]

Wow thank you so so much! That really means a lot to me 🥰 tell her I said hi

[@farmers-daughter2000]

When I learned the seam it was 5/8 now they used an inch. It is easier now. I love them you did such a nice job.

[@connieh.4689]

My favorite thing, the simplest thing, staining the ladder darker. Added a richness and depth.🥰

[@TheMelrose1961]

Oh pillows.. so cool They turned out cuter than I thought they would 😁 Great stencils.. so creative.. loving that ladder👍

[@PurpleSucculent]

Oooooh that mustard yellow pillow would have also looked super pretty if the leaves were hand embroidered! 😄

[@terisanchez9406]

Wow, super cute projects. love seeing Kingsley popping up in the videos. I love the sewing projects.

[@XOMaCenna]

Thanks so much!! 🥰 She says thank you too 🐶

[@RunaaSteinamrk]

I really like the simplicity of the single line down the pillows ❤️

[@cass77788]

i am so happy to see a young woman sewing!! it's a wonderful lost art!!! you go girl, love all your DIYs!!

[@shrutirajan8553]

You are so talented Macenna! .Adding the seam and the pointed corners make the pillow look so high end! I have never done macrame and have watched tonnes of macrame videos before, but after watching your coaster, I am ordering mine off amazon immediately! Love your channel and you!

[@Aoreenable]

Those knotted coasters are beautiful!

[@Livindaybyday]

Love the pillows. Really love the gold one. Love the blanket ladder, but can't believe you are staining in a white sweatshirt! 🤣 I would have had it all over me. Love the coasters. I want to try this. Thank you!

[@denises9426]

Love love LOVE the pillows!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@XOMaCenna]

Yay!!! Thank you so much 🥰

[@charlottethomas608]

I made the macramé coasters!! I had a huge roll of cord and this was exactly the project I needed right now!!Absolutely love them. Thank you! ❤️

[@Happyginger5307]

I love all these!! For the leaf stenciling, I would recommend using a small roller or foam brush rather than a paint brush so you have less blobs :)

[@XOMaCenna]

Oooo that’s a great idea!! I don’t mind how to paint brush effect looked either but totally see how to roller would be more over all consistent for the stencil 🥰

[@Happyginger5307]

Oh Definitely, I love it! it turned out super cute and the colours are my vibe for sure! I think paint brush vs roller would also depend on what fabric you're using too! Hope yoire staying healthy in there 🇨🇦

[@farmers-daughter2000]

I love the leaves. I bought pillow cover from amazon and I am going to stitch around around a leaf shape. I think I am going to make some like that with paint. They turned out so gorgeous.

[@ravenfeathesDVM]

Love your channel MaCenna! Your knowledge and ideas are phenomenal. 💕 Thank you for sharing. Good luck with your cottage too! So happy for you.

[@jordankelley3554]

You make this stuff look so simple and I hope to achieve some of your projects for my apartment they’re just so cute and simple and modern

[@XOMaCenna]

Aww thank you so much!! 🥰

[@bhawanasharma1534]

The way you teach is amazing. Thanks for making these videos

[@chasinglife43]

Ahhh! Congratulations to you and Romeo on the vintage clothing business! So exciting! Speaking of exciting, this video is so exciting. I'm going to try each one. It's like you're inside my head and you know all of the things I want to do for my own home. Either that or these are things that lots of folks want to do for their home. You are a doll, thanks for the email. Thanks so much for the projects to keep us busy during this crazy time! Stay well, stay safe. Please give Kingsley a squeeze for me, I can't wait for more Kinsley in vlogs.💖

[@XOMaCenna]

Thank you so so much for your comment! It means so much to me! 🥰 Kinsley says hi 🐶

[@raydinacavazos3562]

Everything was great, but I loved the macramay coasters!!!!

[@krisgangwer3796]

Thank you! I saw somebody do these but it was confusing to watch. You made it look easy. This needs to be added to my craft list!

[@taymarie9367]

Discovered you like 2 weeks ago and you quickly became my favorite KZbinr

[@katiesmith1272]

Hey :) You are a good sewer, so I challenge you to add a zipper to your next pillow case! I like to be able to wash my pillow cases, so depending on the style I will add a zipper or else make an envelope-style backing. It adds that extra touch of professionalism to your pieces and makes them last longer when you can wash them and keep the fabrics clean from body oils and dirt. I also like to add a cotton muslin liner sometimes, especially when I make pillow cases from rugs. There are some easy quilting stitches you can learn to edge your pillows too. I think you would have some fun learning these fun sewing techniques, and don't be afraid to mess up. It took me a while to perfect the zipper, but showing that trial and error for us fans is really encouraging. You are fun to watch, you and Lone Fox are the best!

[@XOMaCenna]

Hi!!! I normally add zippers too all my pillows but it’s a bit more advanced, but if that’s something you guys would be interested in I totally can 🥰 I want to share that there is still a way to make beautiful pillows that you can throw the whole thing in the wash with out knowing how to add in a zipper 🥰

[@katiesmith1272]

@@XOMaCenna That would be great! Try looking up the envelope method, super easy for new sewers. I like to take scarves and rugs and turn them into pillows. A cotton-printed scarf cut into 4 makes a cute set of throw pillows. I even go to the pain of making my own fringes, but the technique isn't too horrible.... just always choose those time-consuming projects lol! Where can I send you photos?

[@TheR90S]

A zip would be a good idea to make removal for cleaning easier. Also, take 1 or 2 stitches across the corner. This makes the corner sharper when turned.

[@foraluckygirl]

Loved that simple seam in the pillow case!

[@XOMaCenna]

Yay!! I think it was subtle but added so much 🥰

[@tinafaumuina2987]

I love your easy-to-follow instructions and of course the ideas. Thank you

[@emilylentz7008]

Usually when I'm watching DIY videos there's a project or two that I don't like but all of these were really good! And so different and creative too! (also that yellow is my favorite color)

[@lorettamurphy988]

Coasters... adorable!

[@lorettamurphy988]

I like the leaf pillows

[@DaniTv310]

The coaster turned out so cute.

[@SS-sx1zl]

Thank you for sharing your gifts through these videos. I love your channel because I can live vicariously through all your interior designing and DIY-ing and I love your genuine and kind personality. You don’t try to be “artificially” cute or cool like some of the other KZbin designers but you’re just being you, your naturally fun and cute personality. I also like your step by step tutorials as that’s so helpful for those who want to try for themselves. God bless and keep safe during this time.

[@amandajohnson4428]

Love the macrame coasters but I’d have to say the ladder is my favorite, it’s actually a tie between the ladder and the pillows. I can’t pick😘💕🙌🏾

[@XOMaCenna]

Thanks so much!! So glad you liked it 🥰

I’m ordering macrame rope as soon as possible! I am LIVING for those coasters!😮😍

You have completely inspired me to finally make pillow cases for the massive pillows I have for my bed for 6 years!

[@marybethduke3263]

@@XOMaCenna Yes, I remember when it was "cool" in the 70s...someone made me a gift for my apartment wall but they made it with more of a jute material, which I like better. You do such a great job of keeping it minimal!

Yes! Staining wood is life! ☺️ Love the pillows and macrame coasters! I really need to invest on a sewing machine. 🛒

I lot more than I would have thought. I felt like maybe I was doing something wrong. This was my first time ever doing anything with macrame.
