Sewing! Climate! Culture! Community! Finnish publication Tauko encompasses all that is sewing-shaped.
This latest edition, themed ‘Nordic Summer’, embraces the idiosyncrasies of Scandinavian style—‘Practicality. Layers. Long midsummer nights. Play, joy and a touch of madness.’—reflecting on a Nordic fashion history attributed to the country’s geographical positioning, independent of the experimental style dreamt up in dense urban areas. Expect a case study of the Finnish brand Marimekko, touching on its original postwar iteration and contemporary legacy; an interview with Mira Haahti, delving into her role; plus, a spotlight on sewing patterns from nine Nordic-based designers—from Stina Löving’s tiered multi-purpose ‘Frillz’ to Oda Stormoen’s perfect summer dress.
Find all nine 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 30.7”/78cm bust to a 57.5”/146cm bust.
