Class Experience
Unlock your creative potential and learn the art of sewing in our Beginner Sewing Essentials class series! Whether you're a complete novice or looking to refresh your sewing skills, this series is designed to take you from threading the needle to creating your own beautiful projects.
In this 12 week hands-on and interactive series, you will master the basics of sewing, learn how to sew on your own with confidence, and create beautiful projects that you can take home and show off!
The projects we work on will vary from extra beginner friendly projects, like pillows and tote bags, to more advanced beginner projects, such as button up shirts and garments with zippers.
No prior experience is needed-- just a passion for sewing and a desire to learn! All materials and sewing machines will be provided, however, we do encourage our students to bring their own sewing machines if they would like to learn how to use their own.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to start your sewing adventure – enroll today!

I would say to have snacks. However, we were so busy and never noticed the time, I don't think we would have time to eat!! :)

Loved:
The amount of detail and information provided. Specifically, the names of the hotels where we will be staying, travel dates, and the subsequent emails that were sent regarding travel insurance, visas, and immunizations that would’ve needed.
Improvements:
Keep the communication going. Maybe a reminder regarding visas and shots and plane info as we get closer.

Overall, the class was absolutely wonderful. I loved that all the fabrics were included in the price. The instructor was very informative, and the instructions were easy to understand and follow. I met a great group of ladies that share the same level of excitement for quilting. I plan to take more classes at Sew Creative Lounge.

About Sew Creative Lounge - DC
Cecily Habimana and Tisha Thorne met by chance in the hallway of a new building they both moved into back in 2006. They soon realized that they both had a passion for sewing.
The pair noticed that there really weren’t many places where people could take sewing classes, even though there was clearly a demand for it. So, they decided to fill that void and launch Sip and Sew DC, a three-hour workshop that teaches participants how to sew and complete a project such as a clutch, pants or skirt.
The response was overwhelming with many of the classes selling out from 2014-2016. Hosting pop-up classes was a lot of work and Cecily and Tisha’s husbands eventually urged the pair to find their own space. It was from their recommendation that pushed them to open Sew Creative Lounge in Mt. Rainier, MD.
Today Sew Creative Lounge teaches children and adult sewing classes and hosts summer camp at their home studio and satellite studio in Chicago. They also partner with various elementary schools throughout the DC metropolitan area including Yu Ying Public Charter School, Creative Minds Public Charter School, Center City Public Charter School and the Burke School. In response to the pandemic, Cecily and Tisha opened up an online store and began designing their own collection of fabrics. They excited about their work and are always eager to work with their students.
