The objective of this study was to describe methods used by small scale garment producers in Lapaz-Accra to apply interfacing to their product. The study was conducted using twenty-five (25) tailors and twenty-five (25) seamstresses in Lapaz- Accra. Interview schedule and observation checklist were used to collect data from the small-scale garment producers. Percentages were used to analyse the data collected. The result of the study revealed that, lapped seam method of joining interfacing, lapped dart method of reducing bulk at interfaced sections and applying interfacings before joining various sections of the garments together were popular methods used by respondents during application of interfacings.
