TAUKO Magazine No. 9 “Blue”
Creative. Regal. Serene. Blue has many meanings, and the 9 patterns included in this issue implore you to explore all aspects of this rich tone.
Serenity and tranquillity are very much in evidence in these designs, which include dresses, casual trousers, blouses and trench coats against the cold winter blasts. The size- and gender-inclusive designs also make great handmade gifts for loved ones! Artists and researchers stories about the importance of blue in the world of textiles accompany the sewing patterns and instructions. The magazine features plenty to read into the dark evenings. All patterns come in 9 sizes from bust width 31” / 78cm to 57.5” / 146cm.
