Two kids in Tampa are proving that you are never too young to be an entrepreneur.
Eva, 8, and her 4-year-old sister Isla stared a company called Sweet Dreams Pillowcase which benefits kids battling cancer.
The sisters spend a portion of their days hard at work in their parents living room sewing pillowcases together to donate to children.
Eva does most of the sewing and Isla is the expert at picking out fabric.
“First we go to the cute ones," said Isla. "Then I probably go to the animal ones. Next and then I probably go to the pretty ones, and then the soft ones and all different kinds of ones.”
The Sweet Dreams girls are not just sewing for fun or for profit. The girls came up with the idea after Isla made a pillowcase for a friend who was diagnosed with cancer. She wanted to cheer her up so she had her entire class sign it.
“The name of her cancer was leukemia and when I was at school one day my whole class signed their names,” said Isla.
After that the sisters wanted some of their proceeds and pillowcases to go to kids battling cancer. So they work with the Conkerr Cancer Pillowcase Project to make this sweet dream a reality.
“I feel really happy because they are getting something that we have made for them,” said Eva.
“When their happy, that makes me happy,” said Isla.
Using little hands and big hearts, Eva and Isla are bringing sweet dreams to those who need it most.
Together Eva and Isla have helped make around 100 pillow cases. The other portion of the proceeds will go towards the girl’s college funds.
