W ith IONA Clothing, I offer women's clothing with <br />a focus on ethical production, sustainable fabrics and my local <br />community. I hope to ev entually establish a supply chain located in <br />North Carolina - from field to garment. <br />Provide a brief <br />description of your <br />pre-pandemic core <br />arts-related <br />programming or <br />offerings. <br />Before March 2000, I was more inv olv ed in the patternmaking aspect <br />of my business, creating for other designers. Many of the small <br />companies I worked with put a halt on dev elopment, and no <br />costuming work was coming in. <br />North Carolina’s <br />“stay at home” order <br />(Executive Order <br />117) had a profound <br />impact on the arts <br />sector. Describe the <br />specific steps your <br />organization took to <br />comply with <br />Executive Order 117. <br />Since the garment industry slowed down so much, I had more free <br />time to dev elop my own designs. The stay-at-home order gav e me <br />the jump start needed to piv ot towards my own designs. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: F25F665B-E20B-48B7-923B-3DAD88D64318
