Sewing! Climate! Culture! Community! Finnish publication Tauko encompasses all that is sewing-shaped. This vermillion orange issue for Winter 2026 is all about ‘Pockets’, positioning the humble sewn-in pouch as a symbol of female independence and empowerment. Between designs exploring pockets of all shapes and sizes, Hannah Carlson recalls the exchange between women’s rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her dressmaker; Liz Haywood takes inspiration from 18th-century hanging pockets; Cornelius Quiring explores identity through sewing; plus, you’ll also find a ‘Pocket Index’ decoding the terminology behind every style featured in the issue. Find all eleven sewing patterns from the featured designers at the back, accompanied by step-by-step instructions for all designs, available in nine sizes ranging from a 35.5”/90.5cm bust to a 61.7”/156.5cm bust. taukomagazine.com
