There's just something about new cushions!



Both Sal and I have recently moved and are both keen to get our new sewing spaces set up as quickly as possible so we can get right back into the swing of it!

For my part, I am now well and truly settled into my new sewing room - I feel very spoiled to have such a generous space dedicated to all things sewing. To get the list of projects rolling, I started with cushions for our new place.



The fabric is Echino - I brought it back from a recent trip back to NY as a memento of my visit to the recently relocated Purl Soho - the new store is divine (and right across the road from the place I first lived in New York). I have always loved working with Echino fabric, and added an extra something special by backing the cushion covers with some beautiful linen from my stash.

We also brought back the cushion inserts from Muji in New York. They are such comfortable cushions, it was worth the effort to haul them back home with us.

There's just something about new cushions - they add that something extra special to a new home!

We're still here!



It has been a long time between posts... but we are still here!

Despite our prolonged absence on this blog, mackenzie & smith has been as busy as ever - with markets and direct orders (thank you everyone!), as well as lots happening besides making and creating. Both of us have also been enjoying holidays and the joys of moving house (overseas for Sal and her family). Thank you for your messages of support and curiosity about the direction we are taking with m&s... we have a lot planned!
