TAUKO Magazine Issue No.17 warmly invites you to explore the theme of 'Happiness'. From festive dresses to mindful small makes, Issue No.17 is your invitation to sew for joy this season!
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.
This issue includes ten stunning sewing pattern designs by international designers 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.
Each design comes with printed sewing patterns and step-by-step instructions making them accessible for sewers of all skill levels. Available in sizes ranging from a 31"(78cm) bust to a 57.5"(146cm) bust, these patterns celebrate creativity for a range of bodies.
