Are genders alloved for 'amie'

Mon amie fait ses propres bijoux.

Shouln't it be: Ma amie fait ses propres bijoux ?

I see that it refers to feminine friend, not masculine.

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate faire in the present tense in French (Le Présent)"

Hi Guntis,

If you take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson -

https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/use-mon-not-ma-with-feminine-nouns-starting-with-a-vowel-or-mute-h-possessive-adjectives

You will see that it is because the word ami/e  starts with a vowel and 

ma amie creates a clash of vowels 

Hope this helps!
