Three Lancaster County 4-H youth were part of 15 sewers selected statewide to participate in the Student Designer event for Omaha Fashion Week in February. Mindy Bartels, 17, sewed a black and white coat with zebra print lining. Clara Johnson, 16, sewed a full-length, pink sequin sheath gown. Dayton Jons, 10, sewed a bright, multi-colored cheetah print gathered skirt and top. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, they submitted videos of them wearing their designs to be part of a compilation fashion show video. An in-person fashion show for these student designers is planned at the Omaha Design Center in August.
