TAUKO Magazine

Happy Monday, friends! Here’s a sneak peek at the details from Issue No. 17, HAPPINESS, which we’ve fallen completely in love with. Fabric manipulation in the form of smocking and pin tucks plays a big role in this issue, not to mention our favourite feature: pockets, even on jersey trousers!

✨ Happy Monday, friends! ✨

We’re keeping the birthday celebrations rolling! TAUKO turns 4, and this week we’re gifting the HIUTALE dress PDF pattern with every purchase.

When we received the design submission from Alyssa D. Marcheleta, we immediately thought of the legendary Chanel jackets, a timeless design fitting perfectly to the theme of issue 16, 'Architecture'. Read more about the current designer call for the future TAUKO issue. Link in the bio.

Imagine receiving every TAUKO issue — 4 times a year — delivered to your doorstep before it hits the shelves. Inside: more than 40 sewing patterns by independent designers, inspiring photography, beautiful essays, and endless learning. A little world you’ll want to return to again and again

Today, we will be talking about jackets and coats! TAUKO Community meeting: starting at 18h Finnish time, Mila will be hosting the call from the road, and Stefanie will be sharing some of her favourite jacket pattern projects. Don't miss it! Link in the bio.

Thank you so much for all the lovely birthday wishes! To give something back, we are gifting a PDF pattern with every purchase this month until 12 October to celebrate 4 years of TAUKO.

Are you planning to make your own coat or jacket this season? During the TAUKO community meeting on Wednesday 17th September at 18:00 Finnish time, we'll be talking about favourite patterns and fabrics, how to create a lining, and useful and tips! It's free, online and open to all. Link in bio.

For this birthday, we asked our team: What do you wish for TAUKO’s 4th birthday? and Which issue is your all-time favourite?

Swipe through to read the answers of Mila, Kaisa and Hanna, the trio who carry TAUKO forward day-to-day, together with our wonderful extended team and community.
