We wanted to help, so we learned how to sew, and it all blossomed from there.
Hello! My name is Andrea and I'm the founder of Maker Missya! Helping others has always been a priority of mine, and problem solving is definitely one of my strong suits, so when COVID hit and there was a need for supplies I wanted to help. I had never sewn before but I always felt it was a necessary skill that I should learn, and this seemed like the perfect time to do it.
I purchased a sewing machine, watched lots of tutorials, and made a lot of mistakes, but was committed to making the best product I could offer. I donated over 100 face masks to local hospitals and neighbors in need and sold face masks via word of mouth to help buy the supplies. While doing this, I rediscovered a real passion for creating that I hadn't tapped into in a long time.
Living in a city, space is not easily attainable, so I especially love to take what space I have and create items or storage that will not only serve a purpose, but be aesthetically pleasing. That's what Maker Missya is all about. Taking something basic, such as a face mask, and turning it into a source of positivity, fun and purpose. We strive to create products to help fix a problem or just to make you smile(or both if we can!).
I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I have enjoyed making them for you.
