When she was a child, Anna – born to a refugee from Myanmar – would always observe her mother sewing. There was no sewing machine and her mother hand-sewn everything for the family and to earn a living.

As she grew up, Anna would help her mother but her sewing skill was limited. Her one desire was to improve and perhaps, use her skill to support her family.
