THE FACE BEHIND
My Favourite Cousin
My Favourite Cousin was founded by Morag Curry, a Scottish mother of 3, who has called Newcastle home for 30 years and has a passion for crafting beautiful, functional items for new parents. Since 2013, Morag has been sewing baby essentials in her home studio, first debuting her creations at local markets. Over time, what began as a simple idea evolved into a beloved range of practical, heart-crafted items that parents genuinely rely on.
With a focus on baby change mats & practical baby shower gifts that make life easier, Morag pours her heart into every item she makes. When parents discover the ease of her change mats, they return to gift them to their friends. While her website has a selection of her most popular fabrics, there are always more designs and prints available at her market stall. So if you’re looking for something specific, Morag is more than happy to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
