Modest Is Hottest Fashion Show Coming to the

Round Bobbin Quilting & Sewing Expo

Born out of a frustration with a culture that wants our kids to grow up a little too fast, and a refusal to accept fashion rules determined by pop culture icons, the custom boutique industry has taken the fashion world and turned it on its head! Thousands of fashion forward designers and seamstresses have developed this grass-roots industry to meet the demands of even more fashion conscience moms, aunts, and grandmothers who are on the search for trendy, yet age-appropriate, clothing for kids. If you've had the same frustrations with the skimpy and mundane choices retailers are offering the kids in your life, then skip the mall and plan to attend the Modest is Hottest Fashion Show on April 9 and 10 at the Springfield Exposition Center, 635 St. Louis Street, Springfield, MO. Held during the Round Bobbin Quilting & Sewing Expo, the fashion shows will take place April 9 from 12 to 12:30 pm and April 10 from 3 to 3:30 pm.

The Modest is Hottest Fashion Show will feature clothing by trendy, local designers Sandy Higgins and Jenni Buentello.

Sandy Higgins is the owner of The Crackerjack Shack (www.crackerjackshack.com), a local sewing and embroidery company that she operates in her own 1,000+ square foot home studio. Sandy, who sews, embroiders, teaches and writes, has clients that include stay-at-home moms, schools, clubs, churches, and corporate executives who have entrusted her with their company�fs corporate logo wear. People who know Sandy, describe her as a true go-getter who doesn�ft let much grass grow under her feet. She�fs ambitious, to say the least, but she truly loves what she does. She�fs also bound and determined to instill a love for the sewing arts in the next generation of entrepreneurs.

�gIt�fs an art I simply won�ft let go of,�h said Sandy. �gFrom digitizing an intricate embroidery design, to managing yards and yards of beautiful fabric at a time, there is something about seeing things come together in stitches that feeds every part of who I am.�h

Jenni Buentello is the owner of Poshy Tots Children�fs Boutique, www.poshytots.com. She loves to create new designs that you can�ft find anywhere else. Jenni said, �gI have been an at-home mother for seven years and just recently started designing hair bows and custom clothing. I was so sick of never finding what I wanted at stores and when I did they were way too expensive. So I started a �ebowtique�f that everyday moms can afford.�h

Poshy Tots offers bows, headbands, custom couture, pillowcase dresses, girly couture, flower hats, baby couture, tutus, scarves and hats and fashionets. Jenni strives to create funky, yet fashionable, designs that are unique. Plan today to be in the audience when the Modest is Hottest Fashion Show hits the stage and the adorable models show off their precious couture clothing.
