Modern Macrame: 33 Stylish Projects for Your Handmade Home Kindle Edition

I have used SO MANY craft books in my lifetime and this one is a rare treat. Her step by step instructions actually make sense. You actually can see how she got from step A to step B. I was happy with the results and my macrame planters are getting more complex because she taught me HOW to do the basic knots and how to incorporate them into anything I want to make. Loved the process and the results!

I stumbled upon this author while reading the June/July 2018 issue of Where Women Create. I did macramé in the 70s and always enjoyed doing it. The inspiration I found in this book has given me the jump start to get back into the craft! She includes all you need to know, to having the right tools, to how much rope to purchase. Her instructions are easy to follow and her designs range from beginner to 1 to 3 '+' marks for level of difficulty. The photography is beautiful and ignites the passion to create your own masterpiece. I highly recommend this book!

I’ve been following Emily Katz for some time now and when she said she was writing a macrame book I just couldn’t wait to read it. I pre-ordered it and when it arrived, i was totally thrilled. This book really delivers on so many levels. The projects are inspiring and the directions are very thorough. The bonus is the placement of the macrame pieces in the some beautiful interiors.I found the entire book so worth every penny!

Modern Macrame is a beautiful book full of lots of inspiration. I have jumped on the macrame loving train and cannot get enough. I guess I'm a hippie at heart. Emily does a great job of giving detailed instructions on some DIY projects. Not only is this a book on DIY, but serves as a loveky coffee table book. I can't wait to start my first project!

I made a few of the projects in this book. They were nice, and one, in my opinion, was outstanding. I am going to gift it to my daughter-in-law for her birthday. I hope she likes it as much as I do!

I'm fairly new to macramé, and have bought a lot of macramé books this year. This is one of the better ones. The instructions are easier to understand than most, and when the written instructions are confusing, at least the photos are helpful. Unlike most books, Katz makes the majority of these projects using just the most basic knots (square and double half hitch), so you don't have to learn the more complex ones. I love projects like the trivet, plant hangers, and jar covers, although there is an easier way to make those jar covers that doesn't require you to take the cover off to complete the bottom.My main complaint is that a lot of the materials she uses are really expensive and difficult to find. For example, her placemats require 4mm hemp rope, and if I were to purchase that rope in quantities large enough to make them, it would cost me least $80. I'd love to make any of the chairs or daybeds, but you can't buy the frames for under $100. I'm too much of a beginner to experiment and adjust patterns, so that's a bummer. Her wall hangings are also very much not to my taste, and wall hangings are my favorite beginner projects, so that was disappointing.All that said, there are enough projects for beginners to make it a good purchase, and it's a beautiful book to peruse and get design inspiration from.

This is an absolutely gorgeous book on all things macrame. From recounting the history of the craft to in-depth crafting instructions, this is a must have in any maker's library. It is a beautifully written book and the projects are so intricately styled and photographed that I found myself turning the pages not only for inspiration in what to make, but also for how to style the projects (and even rooms in my home.)

The inside flap states “Macrame is backrame”. That alone was worth every penny. I’ve never attempted it before so some of the directions were a bit difficult to understand but I found some YouTube videos to watch and then I understood the instructions more clearly. Everyone I know is fully aware they are getting everything macrame for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries etc. from this point forward.

Awesome Love it! Will be getting a lots of use. Beautiful pictures and clear instructions! Highly Recommended.
