Read this interview with 12 year old Layla on her experience of learning to sew her own Mini Fringe Dress.
Welcome to Olivia Jane Handcrafted! I'm Meredith and this is my creative journal. Here you'll find loads of inspiration for a handmade wardrobe, home decor, bags, and quilts. I even have plenty of projects and tutorials to get you started or help you along the way.
How did you select your buttons? What made you pick that color?
My mom already had these buttons, and I really liked how they looked with the fabric. They are super bright and pop against the brown fabric.

Thats great! What an amazing job and I cannot wait to see your next piece!
Well done, Layla! My daughter is just about your age and learning to sew with me as well. I will show her your blog post here for inspiration. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your one-of-a-kind dress!
Layla keep up the great work and yes love one of a kind clothes and that print looks awesome on you. Bev

Wonderful job!
Thank you!
I love this. I am teaching my 9-year-old daughter how to sew, with the goal of her making her own wardrobe. This is very inspiring!
