Sewing! Climate! Culture! Community! Finnish publication Tauko encompasses all that is sewing-shaped. This soft-pink issue for Autumn 2025 is themed ‘Happiness’ delving into the ways that crafting statistically enhances our mental health. The first story showcases Réka Macdonald's latest pieces that feature the process of 'smocking', she explains her meditative pleasure she gains from it and it's relation to origami. Mila Moiso interviews Silvina Der Megeurditchian following on from her sensory exhibition weaving the themes of belonging, care and memory through physical materials. The hand-crafted clothing and projects throughout issue #17 evoke a joyful colour pallette and are tied together with wholesome backstories from their creators. Find all nine sewing patterns from the featured designers at the back, accompanied with step-by-step instructions for all designs, available in nine sizes ranging from a 31"/78 cm bust to a 57.5"/146 cm bust. taukomagazine.com
