Course basket
bra bags Students and staff from the College of West Anglia Wisbech campus have been busy making bags with a difference to support Breast Cancer Care. Learners studying towards diplomas and extended diplomas in fashion, clothing and textiles have been busy weaving, sewing and embroidering bras, turning them into one-of-a-kind evening bags. The bags have been on sale at various events including the College of West Anglia end of year show and a silent auction held during a fashion show at Elme Hall Hotel, Wisbech. The distinctive accessories have raised a total of £199 for Breast Cancer Care and it is hoped that similar product projects will raise even more money in the future. Michelle James, course director for fashion at CWA Wisbech, said: “This was a fantastic opportunity for students to use their creativity to create unique works of art whilst raising money for charity. I’m proud of their achievements in this project.” Saffron Brown, fashion student at CWA, said: “Taking part in the bra bag project was not only fun and different, but also very rewarding, knowing the money we have raised is going to Breast Cancer Care.”   You can listen to Penny Sully, programme manager for fashion at CWA Wisbech, talking to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire about the bra bags here.
