Weekend Sewing: VERTEX Trousers

Join me as I sew the VERTEX trousers, designed by Alex Schaufele for our DENIM issue! With hip darts for a relaxed, effortlessly cool fit and multiple waistband options, this pattern lets you create anything from 1980s-inspired jeans to a polished office look.

I’m in love with my version—especially the topstitched back details! I hope you enjoy making your own VERTEX as much as I did.

— Mila Moisio, Editor-in-Chief, TAUKO Magazine

TAUKO Magazine Issue No.14
 

Learn how to make your VERTEX trousers in this 20 minute tutorial video:

My size:

I made my VERTEX in a size 3, although I would normally make a size 2, as I really like my trousers a bit looser on the waist. The legs are a bit long, but I really like folding them up, so I kept the length. NOTE: There is mistake in the measure chart of the first edition print copy of TAUKO Magazine issue No.14. Check the errata to choose the right size before you start.

My version:

I made the shaped back waistband, which allows you to channel 1980s jeans. For the front I used the plain waistband, while the buckle waistband option is also super cool! The different waistband options can be mixed and matched however you wish to fir your personal taste and skill.

Loving this shaped back waistband!

My hacks and modifications:

  • I made the inner waistband out of a different fabric, and created the front pocket facings by cutting the pocket bags out of batist lining.

  • I moved the back pocket placements slightly to the side.

  • I topstitched the lower edge of the inner waistband with a folder finish (the original pattern calls for a stitch in ditch and a serged waistband finish).

I used medium weight denim from my stash, so I had to make extra seams for the front and back legs.

I made the front pocket openings a little smaller with topstitching.

Meet the designer!

Alex Schaufele’s experiences growing up in a family that wore denim for work and play shaped her view of what makes a great pair of jeans. As an adult managing gallery spaces, she often searches for and struggles to find aesthetic utility garments. Designing VERTEX was an opportunity to combine her childhood observations with her current wardrobe needs. Inspired by vintage trousers and contemporary designer garments, the VERTEX jeans are a choose-your-ownadventure sewing opportunity. With distinctive hip darts supporting generous front pockets and four possible waistband combinations, VERTEX can be dressed up or made more casual. Channel the 80s with stonewashed denim and a shaped back waistband, or go for a dark wash and a belted waistband for the office.

 

You can get the pattern for making your VERTEX trousers pattern from the print magazine, TAUKO Magazine issue No.14 or as a PDF pattern.

Folding Fabric Like Paper: The Magic of 4-Point Diamond Smocking 

There is something wonderfully surprising about how fabric can transform into a beautifully faceted diamond texture, achieved with just a bit of marking, hand-stitching, and pulling four points together on the wrong side. It is the technique known as 4-point direct smocking.

What I love most is how sculptural it becomes with almost no effort. Each time four dots meet on the underside, the right side blossoms into a raised diamond. Clean, crisp and architectural. And the best surprise? The back of the work forms its own woven-looking pattern, like a quiet little secret only the maker gets to see.

Traditionally, you would finish this technique with a very gentle steaming, allowing the folds to relax into soft, rounded diamonds. Personally, I prefer to press it firmly with an iron. The heat and pressure sharpen the angles and turn each motif into a tiny, paper-like facet. Suddenly the fabric behaves like something between cloth and origami.

It’s a small reminder that fabric isn’t flat. It just waits for the right tug or fold to show its hidden shapes. And sometimes, a simple four-point gather is all it takes to turn a textile into a tiny piece of art with endless variations, perfect for adding structure to garments like the DIA Jacket.

– Réka MacDonald, designer

 

Diamond smocking:

1. Using a fabric marker and ruler, create
a 1.6"/4 cm grid on the wrong side of the rectangular panels.

2. Identify the four dots that form the gathering points of one diamond. Pick up your needle and thread and use double strands of thread with a knot at the end.
Anchor the first dot at the bottom left with double stitching, then connect the three pairs of dots in the sequence “top right, top left, and bottom right” to form the diamond.

3. Gently pull the thread to gather the fabric, securing the final stitch with a knot after stitching into the gathering point a couple of times. Make sure that no fabric is trapped inside. If this happens, cut the thread and redo the stitches.

Making the stitches

 

4. Repeat the pattern, working systematically across the grid to stitch each diamond. Ensure consistent tension for a neat and uniform appearance.

 

5. Tuck in the folds created by stitching, pushing them to the right side of the fabric to create a woven texture on the wrong side.

 
 

6. On the right side of the fabric, press and shape the diamonds first by hand and then with a steam iron.

 

7. Topstitch the folds as evenly as possible to secure them. This will make it easier to reshape after washing.

 

Hungarian-British designer Réka MacDonald draws inspiration from the structural elegance of origami, combining traditional folding techniques with contemporary design. Her design for TAUKO No. 17 DIA explores the expressive potential of smocking. With its intricate folds and tactile surfaces, smocking evokes the meditative pleasure of folding paper. The design invites playful interaction through variation: different-sized or coloured beads can be used instead of traditional topstitching to secure the folds, adding texture and fun to the making process. The plain version allows you to experiment with different fabrics.

Leija Trousers Sew Along

Welcome to the Summer Sew Along! During the summer of 2023, Mila will be making her favourite summer garment, the Leijat trousers, from recycled textiles. In the different parts of this sew along she will show you how to change the pattern between sizes and how to sew the trousers step by step. There is also a special section dedicated to recycled materials and how to work with them.

TAUKO Magazine Issue No. 7

WELCOME! I’ll be sewing my pair of Leija trousers on our terrace using old bedlinen. I hope you’ll have lots of fun sewing along with me. –Mila

PART 1: What you need. This is a great checklist to see that you have everything you will be using.

PART 2: Fit & Size. How do you choose the size you want to make? In this part of the sew along I will give tips on how to find the size that feels best. It's not just about measuring yourself, but also looking at some of your old favourite garments and their measurements.

PART 3: Finding and altering the patterns. In which formats can I find the LEIJA trousers patterns? I will be working with the traced patterns from TAUKO Magazine issue no. 7 and I will show how to change the pattern if you are between two sizes.

PART 4: Working with recycled textiles. The story of LEIJA trouser designs has its roots in Finnish bed linen! In this video I’m sharig some tips from working with recycled textiles for fashion for over 10 years and now making Leija trousers from old bed linen.

PART 4: Front. Now it's time to start sewing the LEIJA trousers! The first step is to assemble the front with the large pockets.

PART 6: Back. In this part the back pieces are sewn together one by one.

PART 7: Combining. Once the front and back are assembled, it is time to sew them together. This part also includes making the trouser legs.

PART 8: These are the final steps in making LEIJA trousers. There are as many ways to sew a zip and waistband as there are makers, but I hope you'll find inspiration or relief in this part.

You can get the pattern for making your LEIJA trousers from the printed sewing magazine, TAUKO Magazine issue No.7 or as a PDF pattern.

Available as PDF pattern and included in the TAUKO Magazine issue No. 7

HIUTALE Dress Tutorial: Making for Someone Special

Join me in this tutorial where I sew the HIUTALE dress, a design I created together with my mother-in-law for her 80th birthday. Available in TAUKO Magazine No.16 and as a single PDF, this pattern is my way of making something truly meaningful for someone very dear to me.

— Mila Moisio, Editor-in-Chief, TAUKO Magazine

TAUKO Magazine Issue No.16
 

Learn how to make your HIUTALE dress in this 8 minute tutorial video:

Merino wool knit dress with 3/4 sleeves:

I made the HIUTALE dress for Bernhild in a size 4 from medium-weight, soft, mulesing-free merino wool jersey (235 gsm). The idea behind the dress was to create an everyday garment from wool knit with a delicate collar, no seams on the neckline and a hem that just covers the knees. The slits create a polished finish and make the overall look a bit lighter. You can use any medium-weight knit for your design, but my favourite of the three different versions I've made so far is the merino wool version for Bernhild!

SUBSCRIBE to TAUKO Magazine and never MISS AN ISSUE

Notes:

  • Remember to use knit interfacing when working with knits!

  • I learned my self to create mitered corners only after finishing with the HIUTALE for Bernhild. I would recommend you to give this a try with the slits. The instructions are included with the pattern in issue No.16 (p.86) and with the PDF pattern.

A round-neck knit blouse with facings and a clean, rib-free finish:

This design is something I’ve been longing for, a piece I kept wishing I had, simple, soft and effortless.

It has gently dropped shoulders, a slightly nipped-in waist and a curved hem that gives it a relaxed yet defined shape. It’s drafted for knits, but its relaxed silhouette means you can play with wovens too.

ROO Pocket Tutorial: Zero Waste Design By Liz Haywood

Watch this ROO Pocket tutorial by Australian designer Liz Haywood!

Liz Haywood is a former industry pattern maker who enjoys home sewing. For her, pockets are essential feature for any garment and an important part of living on a rural property. She never leaves the house without a pocket knife, a handkerchief, and a hair tie - and she never wears clothes without pockets! The ROO hanging pocket was designed to provide pockets for clothes that don’t have them, or replace the pathetically small pockets found on others. It was inspired by historical tie-on pockets that women wore under their clothes. Liz’s modern version is a gusseted, cargo-style pocket designed to be worn on the outside.

Regina Winther lives and works in Hamburg. Trained in industrial design, she was drawn to the tactile world of textiles, creating bags and accessories for international brands before founding her sustainable label.

Her creative process starts with simple gestures: folds, shapes, and the quiet transformation of the material. She often starts with paper and tape to explore form before moving into fabric. The TAMI tote is a sculptural bag defined by origami-inspired folds.
