I just purchased your guide I am obsessed!! You did an awesome job. Can't wait for more.

[@Bailey-vf9fv]

EMILY!!! first off I just want to say THANK YOU for this tutorial!! As my first macrame project I tackled this swing and I am so impressed with how simple it was and how well it turned out! Everyone keeps asking me where I bought this swing! (HUGE compliment) anyways, I bought your pdf pattern and made this swing for my baby girl as part of her Easter present! Secondly, could you PLEASE make MORE macrame baby swing tutorials and patterns? They seem to be pretty nonexistent, sadly :( I’ve scoured the internet for patterns and tutorials and cannot find what I’m looking for! There are only a very small handful of macrame baby swing tutorials out there. I’d love to see a tutorial/pattern where the bottom is also macrame and not wood, and maybe more/different macrame techniques and patterns for the sides and back. As a beginner I don’t know a ton of ways to make things, so I would absolutely love more baby swings since I am obsessed and these are much more stylish than those ugly plastic baby swings 😅 Sincerely, Your newly addicted macrame follower Aka: Chandler :)

[@heatherannekennedy9368]

That is absolutely adorable!!! So sweet - and your swing model is a very handsome wee lad! Well done!

[@JustGeenuh]

Your son is adorable and that macrame swing is beautiful!!

I’m in awe right now....I’m a crocheter and this is spectacular ..I think I found my new hobby! This is Absolutely stunning!

[@janicewhite8076]

what a beautiful thing. I would keep it after the kids outgrow and hang in their room with stuffies or dolls. What a wonderful job and so beautiful

Your disclaimer at the beginning cracked me up because you couldn’t even say it with a straight face. How beautiful this swing is. I need someone to have a baby now lol

By far your best piece of art, well done 👏💟👏

I just bought Emily’s PDF off her and had a question, she answered me within 10 minutes. The PDF is so easy to understand and I love how there’s a visual (the KZbin video) to go with it! Great job

I made on in the 70's it had wooden dowels on the bottom instead of the wood square. Yours looks a lot easier to make and faster. I love it

[@cindyrobinson2618]

Wow! This is fabulous! I am 50 and obviously not having anymore kids, lol. But I do have three kids! Not sure I will have any grandkids anytime soon, but I want to make this so bad! Maybe I will make it and store it away. OR, put a plant in it! You are so amazing! Can’t wait to try it! Thank you!

[@marie-joseenadeau971]

I've been making these beautiful macrame baby swings for a couple of years now. Great gift! I already had the exact same PDF instructions. This pattern has been around of years and it's a fail-proof, beautiful and safe gift to give. Plus, it's pretty easy to make once you get the hang of the knots. Emily, I love your video and well-explained for beginners. Well done!

[@EmilyFaith]

Thanks so much, the PDF instructions are actually created by me. I’m sure there are other similar ones out there though. Thanks for all your kind words 🥰

[@karishmashaik7495]

can u pls tell me the measurements of the cord

[@mrsbaisley]

I am trying to figure out what the weight capacity is by following this pdf. Do you happen to know?

[@marie-joseenadeau971]

@@mrsbaisley Hi Abby! After making a few, I'd say 40 lbs max. It could probably handle more but I prefer to exercise caution. Macramé knots are very sturdy. I've added an additional safety feature around the seat and it looks amazing! Let me know if you want too see that extra finishing touche and I'll send you a picture.

[@hazeldawn9744]

@@marie-joseenadeau971 hi there I’d love to see the added safety features you made!

[@LydiaNaomi]

freakin amazing!!

[@alexaozeki12]

Love this!! I have an imperfect slightly twisted piece of wood that I found on the shore last year that would be perfect for this project! Although I think I’m going to make this for my plants! If only my cat enjoyed swinging. :( 🐈

[@WhitneyOpfar]

I made this baby swing and it turned out great. My two-year-old actually uses it almost every day. The six month old needs a blanket wrapped around her to prop her up but I’m sure she’ll love it even more as she gets a little bigger

[@EmilyFaith]

that makes me so happy to hear

[@shaelarenee]

How long does it take to make?

[@WhitneyOpfar]

It took me about three days working in between taking care of kids. So probably 3-4 hours each day. My husband did all the hole drilling and wood cutting for me

[@WhitneyOpfar]

I made the swing and I just put a blanket on the board and that is comfy enough for my toddler. The baby I wrapped in a blanket just to give her more support so she’s not wobbling around
