- Worldwide Shipping Available
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.
Re-design has always been at the heart of TAUKO Magazine, and for our 21st issue, we are incredibly happy to dedicate an entire issue to the theme.
What happens when the design process is left visible? How can clothes be made easier to alter as our bodies change, simpler to repair, more modular, and more open to interpretation?
In this issue, independent designers from around the world explore different approaches to making and remaking clothes. The collection moves from upcycling and visible repair to modular construction, transformable garments, and new interpretations of familiar clothing.
Through a jumper design, you can explore how a single bodice can become several different garments, while a dress with detachable sleeves extends the possibilities of one design. Other projects take modularity even further, creating garments from interchangeable pieces that can be repaired, replaced, and developed over time. Sashiko celebrates repair rather than hiding it, while the Button Masala technique uses buttons and elastic bands instead of conventional seams, allowing fabric to be assembled, taken apart, and endlessly reconfigured.
The projects range from easy and playful makes, including a pincushion and a pair of shorts, to more detailed garments, such as a carefully tailored trench coat-inspired dress. Whether you are looking for a quick project or something to slowly immerse yourself in, there is something new to discover, practise, and learn.
TAUKO is a 128-page collectable that measures in at 275mm high x 215mm wide. There are four folded paper pattern sheets included with the magazine. The patterns from each issue are overprinted on the four sheets - trace off your sizes before use. A 1cm seam allowance is included in patterns unless otherwise specified. Finished garment measurements are included for each pattern. Please see images for examples of the pattern sheets and instructions format. It is printed in Estonia with a glue and stitch binding to secure durability and easy reading.
