Showing off some freshly unlocked skills! Here are the first #taukodia makes.

Black Friday’s getting loud out there, friends — so we’re slowing the tempo. The world feels heavy, and a little kindness goes a long way. If you shop, keep it mindful. If you can, give. And if you’re staying home, make it cosy: sew a little, sort your scraps, enjoy what you already have.

Pure Happiness — the cover design of Issue No.17, #taukodia 🥰 An easy, reversible quick-make you can finish in just a few hours — or a carefully crafted jacket with detailed smocking? Your choice! #taukodia by @mottii__mottii Available as a single PDF pattern and in Issue No.17.
