Tauko Magazine

TAUKO Magazine is a pioneering independent print publication for home sewists around the world. The vast horizon of crafts, culture and climate is featured in sewing patterns, interviews, columns, articles, tips and recommendations by international contributors.

Empathy is at the heart of Issue No. 13, inspiring makers to think deeply about how clothing shapes our understanding of each other and ourselves. This issue explores how sewing connects us to a wider world of textile activism, where gentle craft becomes a powerful tool for social change, with winter-ready patterns including quilted coats, chic dresses and designs with a unique twist.

Perfect for creating winter garments that are as meaningful as they are beautiful, this issue also includes special features such as hand embroidery techniques. Whether you're an experienced maker or new to sewing, Issue 13 invites you to craft with compassion and care.
