" The very first thing I ever sewed, about six months ago, was a zipper pouch. Yes! I tackled zippers right off the bat because Missy made is SO easy. Six months later I am sewing quilts!

Hi friends! I am Missy, and I am so glad that you are here! I am a full-time maker and have been sewing for more than 30 years. I have been making fun, whimsical items that are a combination of both practical and adorable.

I run my business, The little Green Bean, full-time with my husband Mike. We have 3 wonderful boys and live in northern Minnesota. The summers are wonderful and the winters are long, but this is where family is and we wouldn't have it any other way. I learned to sew in my high school home economics class and have loved it ever since. Just don't ask me to hem anything- haha.

I have always loved teaching others and have been teaching in some capacity or another in all of my former jobs. Helping others learn new skills is something I truly enjoy.

I am bringing together my love for and sewing knowledge with teaching in a one of a kind, sewing course where you will learn sewing basics like how to maintain your sewing machine, picking fabric, the tools you need to get started and then we show you how to sew with 6 in depth sewing lessons so that you can put your new skills to work and really learn how to sew!

We don't believe in all of the traditional, old school " sewing rules" and things definitely do not have to be perfect. You are allowed to do things your own way and at your own pace. Come as you are, everyone is welcome.
