Colorful threads, tidy stacks of fabric, and the hum of a sewing machine set the tone for Missy’s world at The Little Green Bean. She’s a full-time maker, pattern designer, and teacher who brings a joyful spark to every project she touches. Her work feels like an invitation to play, explore, and stitch with confidence.
This month’s feature shines on her Crafty Pocket Tote, a roomy, beginner-friendly design that appeared in the latest Bag Maker’s Club shipment. It’s built for makers who love a tote that works as hard as they do. Pockets line the inside and outside, keeping tools, treasures, and on-the-go ideas neatly tucked away.
We sat down with Missy for an exclusive video interview where she shares the heart behind her patterns, the joy she finds in teaching new sewists, and the inspiration that keeps her designs fresh. Her tips add a welcoming touch to the creative process, guiding beginners and seasoned makers alike.
Our studio sample features Western Paisley Cork Fabric paired with Gunmetal Hardware for a polished finish that highlights every pocket detail. Thoughtful construction brings the tote to life, and the generous interior offers space for sketchbooks, yarn, quilting supplies, and everything else that fuels a maker’s day.
