I learnt to sew out of necessity, being short in height and body length with long legs meant that nothing fit right. I too lived in a rural area about 50 miles away from the main city. My mother was a seamstress so I was lucky. I spent some of my time drawing and designing patterns for clothes when I was a kid. I did my 'apprenticeship' making clothes for teddies as I never had enough fabric. I used my mother's off cuts. When I started earning my own money there was no stopping me. Although I still look for off cuts for my projects. It's a feel good thing that I don't think will ever leave me and has made me respect materials and recycle them

I have a long body and average length legs, so I need to shorten legs on pants or take in some clothes

I was taught to sew at age 6 by my grandma. If there were holes ion my clothes, she made me stitch them back up till they looked brand new again.

That is incredible. I do agree with hopefully her parents are letting her enjoy being a kid. My daughter is 8 and knows how to sew, she designs some of her clothing picks fabrics and is super crafty and creative. But its for her. She fully enjoys herself. If and when she want to do something like that, more power to her, but I would want her to do it and go out and get it on her own. Of course I'd help if she asked. But there is something about doing things for yourself on your own, learning the ropes of things makes it more meaningful and special. Proud. you know. Hey if you got it do it!

That's awesome. I agree with everyone else about hoping she doesn't fade away when she gets older. She already seems a little full of herself. But hey, she's got a right to be. She's got a friggin clothing line. Happy

@Miss Circus: Props to your grandma.

That's amazing she is able to do that, but like most on here I hope that she is enjoying her childhood too.

I have a ten-year-old daughter and she got a sewing machine from her Grandma a couple of years ago. She uses now and then, but nothing like what that girl could do. She has recently been working on designing her own patterns. Lately she has been making Pokemon and zombie dolls

Wow, but really? The clothes are kinda cute don't you think that they're a little to showy for a ten year old? I mean, the girls got nothing there but when she gets older, what else is she going to make?

She doesn't really seem to be a kid anymore. I think I'd rather spend 10 years enjoying the life as a little kid than designing clothes. I'd spend as much time on the standard T.V and PS2 until it all dies out (the PS3 killed my T.V a few weeks ago).

When I was ten I was still wearing my Alice and Wonderland shirt, my friend would even call me a big baby. And I would always wear my hair in a ponytail, until now. And I STILL drink out of my baby cup...

She should be worrying about being a child. There is probably so much that she'll miss. Yes, I'm sure she's having an amazing time, but I think she should have waited. The dress that she wears when you first see her (when she's walking up to the photo shoot) is so short. Holy geeze.

I feel like her clothing would be better in a couple years.

Oooo a growing designer by 10?

There is no doubt that Cecilia has the talent and drive, but I kind of was annoyed when she said "I have to have this..I can't live without it." It reminded me of my little hedonistic cousin, the one with the loud valley girl voice. BUT Cecilia is 10, and a little girl at that.

Hopefully in a few years her clothes will have only but improved!
