Issue Nine of TAUKO Magazine is dedicated to the colour blue! The colour of the sky, seas and lakes has inspired a series of nine different sewing patterns by international designers. Serenity and tranquility are very much in evidence in these designs, which include dresses, casual trousers, blouses and trench coats. The size- and gender-inclusive designs also make great handmade gifts for loved ones!

In this issue, artists and researchers talk about the importance of blue in the world of textiles. The issue includes paper patterns and step-by-step instructions for all the nine designs featured, which come in nine sizes from 31"/78 cm bust to 57.5"/146 cm.
