Throughout the ages, artists have used their clothing to stand up for political, environmental, or cultural ideals. Clothing is like a language, a form of expression that is powerful and full of meaning. In this issue we are diving into the art of dressing inspired by our favourite artists. As a sewist, you are holding the magic wand in your hands, and clothing and dressing can be turned into a new creative art form! The garments featured in TAUKO Magazine No. 7 “The Art of Dressing” invite you to play with different roles, find new ways to express yourself and turn dressing into poetry! All patterns come in 9 sizes from bust width 31” / 78cm to 57.5” / 146cm.
