The objective of this study was to examine the factors considered by small scale garment producers in the selection of interfacing fabrics and to evaluate the quality of interfaced garments produced by small scale garment producers in Lapaz- Accra. The study was conducted using twenty-five (25) tailors and twenty-five (25) seamstresses in Lapaz- Accra. Interview schedule and observation guide (assessment form) were used to collect data from the small-scale garment producers. The result of the study revealed that the weight of the fashion fabric, area of the garment to be interfaced, application method, and suitability of colour of the interfacing fabric were the factors which mostly determined the selection of interfacing fabrics among the respondents. However, the type of fabrication method used for the fashion fabric and care requirements of the fashion fabric had no significant influence on the selection and use of interfacing fabrics among the respondents. It is recommended that the findings be made available to the respondents and COTVET so that the small-scale garment producers would be educated.
