Tauko Magazine - Issue 20 Layers - pre-order for 15 July

This is a pre-order item.  Anything bought with it will be shipped in July with the 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.

Issue No.20 explores the idea of layers, not only as a practical way of dressing, but as a language of shape, rhythm, protection, and self-expression.

In this issue, independent designers from around the world explore layering through material, construction, proportion, and detail. The collection brings together light and heavier garments designed to be combined, adapted, and worn in different ways over time. Small details transform the way garments interact with one another and create entirely new silhouettes through layering.

Inside, you’ll discover sewing patterns ranging from underwear to expressive skirts, blouses and warm outer layers. Some garments explore layering through the styling itself, while others build layers directly into the construction through ruffles, gathered elements, linings, folds, and overlapping shapes. Materials shift between sheer and protective: airy cottons, translucent fabrics, soft drape, structured tailoring and heavy wool. 

Issue No.20 also introduces a renewed editorial layout together with clearer and more supportive sewing instructions, part of TAUKO’s ongoing work to make thoughtfully curated sewing knowledge more approachable across different skill levels.

Designers in issue No.20: Andrea Lopez , Juliana Martejevs, Rosie Stirling, Juliana Bendandi, Lily Edney, Mina Cheong, Nikki Griffin, Sarianna Niskala, Henna Lampinen.
Other creatives:
Claudia Arana, Christine Millar,  Fanni Noroila, Marja Niemi
