| The 'Fashion from Fabrics' programme
is a joint venture between the Irish Fashion Industry Federation (IFIF)
and the Welsh based Welsh Clothing & Textile Association (WCTA)
and has been awarded funding from the European Regional Development
Fund (ERDF) INTERREG IIIA Ireland/Wales.
The overall aim of the programme is to provide small
to medium Clothing and Textile Companies in Ireland and Wales with
a proactive programme aimed to tackle the deficiencies in fabric
awareness and fabric sourcing. Specifically the programme aims to
provide SMEs in this sector with fabric information that is currently
available from limited sources to allow them to develop their companies
further.
The 'Fashion from Fabrics' programme will comprise
of a mix of components e.g. Residential Seminars, Research Assignments
and the Development of Distance Learning Material. All information
and findings will be posted on the Website as they arise.
