I'd ove to swap with her. I started at a young age. by 12 i was designing my own cloths. you could let her 'look' over your shoulder as she signs on to look at pictures to get good ideas like we all do. she got a nice swap package. i'm into buttons too, the kind she likes are great. i have an overstuffed zip lock of them.
how old is she. she's doing great, and we all look forward to helping in the mentoring of a new sewist/quilter. who knows, she may make all her school cloths this summer.
