TAUKO Magazine No. 17
Published 23 October 2025
The latest issue of TAUKO magazine was released on the 23rd October, and centres around "Happiness".
This winter issue is a celebration of happiness in making and wearing self-made clothing.
Sewing is a simple and accessible form to spark joy and bring a sense of purpose, whether you’re creating festive wear for the season, thoughtful handmade gifts, or simply enjoying the process of planning and making by hand.
Alongside the patterns, the issue features articles and essays offering new perspectives on sewing, creativity, and wellbeing, reminding us why working with our hands is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to feel happy.
Inside the magazine, you’ll discover 10 sewing patterns by independent designers worldwide, ranging from detailed and joyful dresses with playful details (smocking makes a beautiful return in this issue!) to small, easy projects perfect for building skills or making quick gifts.
From festive dresses to mindful small makes, Issue No.17 is your invitation to sew for joy this season!
