    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 UA-cam video) to go with it! Great job

    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 :)

    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!

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.
