TAUKO is independently built through collaboration between designers, editors, pattern makers, photographers, and makers from different backgrounds around the world.

We believe thoughtful making, practical creative skills, and independent publishing matter — especially during times of uncertainty and change.

Independent creative culture creates possibilities for different futures to emerge.

This support helps us continue building slower, more human-centered ways of sharing knowledge, creativity, and connection through sewing.

It helps create space for:

thoughtful editorial work

support for emerging designers

professionally developed sewing knowledge

independent voices

experimentation

and new ways for people to learn, make, and connect together

HANDPRINT is a community-supported campaign helping TAUKO develop new ways of thoughtful, supportive, and connected culture of making. Running from 2nd of June to 30 June.

Through the campaign, we are creating new ways to share sewing knowledge, guidance, and community experiences — helping more people move from inspiration into making while developing their own handprint with more clarity, confidence, and less overwhelm.

As the campaign grows, new shared tools and experiences will be unlocked together, including:

• improved sewing instructions and layouts

• a TAUKO Making Guide

• a supportive Making Calendar

• online making sessions

• and deeper community sewing experiences

Each milestone helps us build new ways for the TAUKO community to make, learn, and grow together through sewing.
