For its fourth issue TAUKO has slowed down to take a look at what grows right next to our feet. The issue is dedicated to the fungi world, understanding mycorrhiza and introducing the basics for creating natural dyes with mushrooms. The magazine features ten sewing patterns by independent designers inspired by the fungi and plant world. Making use of soft linen, wool, poplin and hand dyed fabrics the dresses, trousers and jackets come with many variations for differently skilled sewists. All patterns come in nine sizes from bust widths of 31” / 78cm to 57.5” / 146cm.

TAUKO Magazine covers a vast horizon of crafts, culture and climate, along with a selection of sewing patterns from designers all over the world, interviews, columns, articles, tips and recommendations by international contributors.
