issue 126 is here!

By the frankie team

2 June 2025

Our newest issue is bursting at the seams with crafty projects, refrigerated choccy and a whole lot of tennis balls.

Do you hear that, paper-loving pals? It’s the tap-a-tap of our feet doing an excited jig, because issue 126 is now out in the world! Inside its fresh pages you’ll find some nice-looking furniture made out of hundreds of old tennis balls, plus a sickly-sweet debate that has our tummies grumbling. There’s also a slowly made (and quickly added to our carts) knitwear label run by a lovely local lass; two mates who are unpacking their broken brains; and a rad organisation that helps disadvantaged women become financially stable. After some cosy DIY garms and homewares? We can help you out with that. If that’s not enough, there are also intriguing investigations into surnames, paisley, and elevator music (our brains are feeling quite large right now). Plus, plenty of snazzy outfits, cool stuff for your abode, impressive art, and silly rants. Enjoy! GIRL SPORTS
