Fashionista

2. For her sixth birthday, Celicia Cassini, now 11, asked for a
sewing machine. Since then, her passion for fashion has
blossomed into a career as a designer. Her creations are sold
online and in two stores in California. "I started making
clothes for my sister and her friends, and word got around,"
she told TFK.
Cecilia's next big plan is to start manufacturing her designs.
Her dream is to have her clothes sold in stores around the
world. For now, she is busy making 25 to 30 dresses each
