Cecily Habimana, HOST  

Meet Cecily Habimana—an entrepreneur who is not only living her dream but inspiring others to do the same. Together with her partner Tisha, she co-owns Sew Creative Lounge, a thriving sewing haven nestled in Mount Rainier, Maryland. Their dynamic establishment offers an array of sewing classes catering to both kids and adults, available both online and in person.

When the world was faced with the challenges of a global pandemic, Cecily and Tisha responded with resilience and innovation. They extended their passion for sewing into the digital realm, introducing a unique fabric collection and pioneering a membership program designed to unite and empower seamstresses and quilters alike. Their dedication to this endeavor has not gone unnoticed.

Cecily's accomplishments have earned her recognition in numerous esteemed publications and blogs, including The Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune. Her expertise has also been sought after by major media outlets, and she has made impactful appearances on FOX 5 News and NPR. Her contributions to the sewing and crafting community have left an indelible mark on both the local and national stages.

Janet Green, Instructor

Janet has been sewing since childhood, mostly garments and home décor items. She started this part of her journey about ten years ago, making quilts for cover and comfort. Uninspired by traditional quilt patterns and coordinated fabric bundles, she wanted more interesting quilting adventures. Facing a pile of fabric scraps and pieces trimmed from other projects, she asked herself “what if I...?”. That day, her journey took a happy turn into improvisational quilting, and she never looked back! 

Making random blocks (or segments, as she likes to call them) with no real end in mind, exciting new compositions emerged. She loved what she was creating. More importantly, she loved what she was becoming—a Fabric Mixologist.
