Maker Minute Blog Post - MISSY LUUKKONEN - THE LITTLE GREEN BEAN

Hi, I’m Missy, the maker and creative mind behind The Little Green Bean. I’ve been sewing for more than 30 years and still get just as excited about new projects as I did when I first started. These days, you can usually find me in my sewing studio designing quilt patterns, whipping up home décor projects, or teaching others how to sew through my membership community, The Sewing Squad. I love creating pieces that are beautiful, functional, and approachable for makers of all skill levels - because sewing should feel joyful, not intimidating.

One thing I’ve learned over decades of making is that having the right tools can make all the difference. That’s why I’m a huge fan of CutterPillar products. My Glow Ultra Light Board is a game-changer for foundation paper piecing and tracing appliqué designs. I also use the Flip & Fold Cutting Mat for creating on the go, and my Cutterpillar Flex Sewing Machine Light is with me in all places: on my sewing machine, clipped to my embroidery hoop & I even use it when I paint my nails! Their most recent Flex Light Accessory Kit made it even easier to use in countless ways! These tools have made my process smoother, faster, and way more enjoyable.
