Episode 7: Meet Missy Luukkonen of The Little Green Bean


Listen Later

This week on The Sewcial Hour Podcast, we're excited to welcome our very first guest — Missy Luukkonen, the creative behind The Little Green Bean.

Missy is a full-time maker, business owner, and sewing educator who has been crafting whimsical and practical creations for over 30 years. She joins us to share her inspiring story, from learning to sew in high school to building a successful handmade business with her husband in northern Minnesota.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • How The Little Green Bean began and the meaning behind the name

  • Missy’s journey as a maker and entrepreneur

  • All the details about her exclusive Sewing Squad membership

  • This week’s Spool School: Missy’s advice — “Do what brings you joy”

  • Our favorite feel-good moments in “You Love to See It”

We’re also starting things off with a fun icebreaker: What’s the longest you’ve ever worked on a sewing project without stopping? Be sure to share your answer in The Sewcial Sewists Facebook group under today’s episode thread.

Stick around for a sneak peek at next week’s episode, where we’ll talk about the joy of sewing for others.

Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and follow us on social media for all the latest updates.

Thanks for tuning in — we hope Missy’s story inspires you to follow your sewing dreams and create with joy.

Keep it sew-cial!
