Koma Bag – Mindful Macramé Pattern Guide

Meet the Koma Bag — inspired by my mum’s childhood memories of Koma tou Gialou, a beautiful village in the occupied part of Cyprus.

She often reminisces about its stunning beaches and the carefree summers she cherished there. Though her village has been under occupation for over 50 years, it’s never been forgotten.

I wanted this bag to carry a bit of that timeless beauty and nostalgia — and to my surprise, it resonated deeply with many of you. When I first shared it, I had no idea it would go viral. The messages poured in, asking for a digital pattern and guide so they could make their own.

After months of anticipation and love from the macramé community, the official Koma Bag Mindful Macramé Guide is finally here — a downloadable PDF you can use to create your own bag step-by-step!

This isn’t just a craft. It’s a ritual. A pocket of peace. Something uniquely yours.
