I’m still here 🙋🏻‍♀️👋 and missing my little business.

Life lately has been full of slow sewing while on the train, strawberry picking, improving my bread making skills and a small amount of sewing (with an ever growing pile of sewing projects) in between kids, visitors and work.

Hoping to be at markets during the second half of the year and in the meantime, I’ll appear whe I’ve seen something 🎉🎉

On Saturday at the market, I’ll have my brand new bag ‘Side Hustle’ available to purchase!

Looking for something slim, versatile and compact? Look no further! The side hustle bag is perfect for carrying your phone, passport and nic-naks when travelling or wanting to not carry your large handbags.

Some finished bags and some in progress… my upcoming markets will feature bags using a range of different fabrics - I can’t possibly choose a favourite!!

Make sure to check out my pinned post for where I’ll be for the rest of the year!

One of my top sellers is my cable wraps! Which means they needed a big restock ahead of the upcoming markets… Organise your small and large cables when travelling, in your handbag or at home!

Market Dates for the remainder of the year! 5 big markets scheduled which means lots of prep work happening in the background 📍🪡🧵

An exciting Saturday night in the By Anna Fran house… making the first of a new product which will be released at my next market in October! The plan is to have 10 of these made, and they all involve bag hardware!

I better get back to sewing 📍🪡🧵

I’ve been influenced… to make a jelly roll rug!

Facebook was sharing lots of jelly roll rug reels with me, so couldn’t stop myself giving it a go! I picked up a very handy jelly roll rug tool from to help make the very long strip, and then took it very slowly as I sewed it all together 🪡🧵📍

I think I now need to make one for everyone in my house!

It’s the start of the new financial year here in Australia so a good time to start planning for the next 6-12 months!

Markets with booked for later this year, and workshops with are starting to fill the calendar!

What a busy rest of 2025 will be!
