(St. Leon, Ind.) – A 15-year-old East Central High School student has caught the entrepreneurial bug.

Madelyn Reddell is using the power of social media to build her crochet business.

It all started when she made herself an outfit to wear to a concert to see her favorite band, Sublime, this past May in Columbus, Ohio.

Shortly after, Madelyn started making tops for her friends and others in the Lawrenceburg community. Now, you can find Madelyn’s creations at Billie Co. in downtown Lawrenceburg.

She has also been asked to start making children’s clothes for a children’s boutique.

“My husband and I are extremely proud that she has taken it upon herself to be a self-driven entrepreneur,” said her mother, Theresa.
