Tauko Sewing Pattern Magazine Issue 5

A 128-page collectable magazine on sewing, culture and fashion, printed on high quality FSC paper. Tauko is a beautiful, inclusive magazine aimed at home sewists around the world who might be looking for something a bit different.

It's packed with interesting articles and gorgeous photography, and each issue also includes at least 10 printed sewing patterns, which you need to trace off.

There's a good range of difficulty so there should be something for everybody except absolute beginners - the instructions are fairly good but they do assume some knowledge.

This fifth issue is all about wool, one of my favourite fibres to wear in the cooler seasons. It features articles about wool production in Europe and textile artists working with indigenous sheep herds in Denmark and the US alongside the usual interviews, book reviews etc.

The patterns are aimed at soft jerseys, quilted cotton and linen and they all come in 9 sizes. I'm eyeing up the 'Dozy Sweater' by Dutch designer Elles Thé Lanfer - it looks perfect for the low-key, hygge type of autumn and winter that I'm feeling so ready for this year!

The sizing starts at B78cm(30.7") W62cm (24.4") H86cm (33.9") and goes up to B146cm (57.5") W130cm (51.2") H154cm (60.6".)

In this issue the patterns were designed by: Joanne Au, Sadie Egan, Lisa Falconer, Christine Haynes, Elles Thé Lanfer, Bren Larsen,Juha Vehmaanperä and Andini Wijendaru.
