Business Insider spoke to the tween — who’s a member of that high IQ-having group at Mensa — about how she was able to launch a clothing line she describes as “hippie-grunge, yet feminine” at Nordstrom before she’s old enough to go to a PG-13 movie alone.
She explains that her love of painting at a young age lent itself well to fashion, which she’s “always been enamored” with. She started sewing at the age of 7 while “exploring mixed media” in her artwork, and began designing her own clothing.
“I immediately began sewing clothes for myself,” she says. “As some of my friends began liking what I was wearing, I got the idea to sell them and to start a business.”
Meanwhile, the only sewing kit I have in my apartment is one of those crappy ones you get for free in the toiletries basket, the kind with the threat that breaks as soon as you try to sew a button on.
And don’t worry — it’s not like this fashion line will get in the way of junior high — because she’s already pursuing a degree in Fine Art.
Despite sounding more mature than you or I could ever hope to be at age [insert your age], she’s still in awe of what she’s accomplished as a youngster.
“I feel like I have to pinch myself! It is a dream come true. I am beyond excited and feel so very grateful for this opportunity,” she says, sounding like the kind of gal my grandmothers would heartily approve of (she probably keeps her hair out of her eyes, too). “It is such a huge honor.
Her next step? Expanding into accessories, handbags and shoes. My next step? Changing out of my house pants, eventually, after I finally go buy more toilet paper and taking a good, long look at my current accomplishments and future life goals.
You can follow MBQ on Twitter if you have any advice to give about sewing buttons on shirts with crappy sewing kits: @marybethquirk

That’s not a problem when you’re putting away your sweaters, but it is a problem if you’re a kid playing at home who climbs in the chest and closes the lid. Yes, that does really happen.
Earlier this year, a brother and sister, 7 and 8 years old, locked themselves in a cedar chest in their home in Massachusetts. Their father was the only adult at home, and he was watching TV in another room while his children suffocated to death.
According to the CPSC, there have been 36 known deaths resulting from people locked in auto-latching cedar chests. Lane and the CPSC estimate that while twelve million cedar chests subject to the recall were sold, there are still six million out there in need of a new latch.
The repair is simple: for chests made since 1940, it just changes the chest latch so that someone has to press a button on the outside to latch the lid closed. For chests made before 1940, the new hardware doesn’t latch closed at all.
If you have a Lane or Virginia Maid chest in your home, get a replacement lock by filling out this website form or call the company at (800) 327-6944. Have your chest’s style and serial numbers handy–the website shows you where to find them.
