Call for No.14 is now closed. You can find the call for No.15 HERE.

Would you like to receive all the pattern previews, choose your favourite and make and share it with the sewing community before the magazine is published? We invite sewists of all levels to participate in celebrating our upcoming issue and sharing their makes with the sewing community!

Call:
The call is open to everyone of every race, ethnicity, gender, ability, size, sexual identity, and age. We are looking for makers focusing on sewing in their social media accounts (no minimum follower requirements!) and who are open and happy to share with the community. You can see a selection of the lovely previous makes by the sewing community HERE.

We're excited to welcome many new faces to our growing community!

We offer:

Sneak peek at all designs of the next issue, where you can choose your favourite to make
One digital pattern of your choice to make before the launch
Celebrating with you on our Instagram story and website
One additional pattern from our selection as a thank you for sharing on the publishing day

We expect:

You to share your gorgeous make on social media, preferably on Instagram, on the publishing day of the issue
Consent to include your photos in our community gallery / website
Honesty: we want you to share your experience, even if it did not turn out to be your favourite piece

We’d love to hear the maker's feedback on the fit, if they struggled with something and ideas for improvements, but this is in no way required. Instead, we recommend sharing your modification, alterations, chosen materials and all other creative input to help fellow sewists.

Deadlines:
The call for No.14 will close on the 1st of December and you will hear from us once the call has ended. There are about 5 weeks to make your piece.

Ready to apply?
Please fill out the form below.

“Participating in TAUKO’s Make and Share has been an absolute delight every time! It epitomises the warmth and friendliness you can find in the sewing community. ”

— Martha, 26, UK

“Participated in the TAUKO Make and Share pattern testing group. Fun sewing project. Makes me a better patternmaker and sewing instructor. Excellent admin and group sharing. It’s like being in a secret before it becomes public. Highly recommended.”

— Dianna, 76, USA

“The process of testing for TAUKO was professional and thorough. The communication and instructions were very informative and well planned. The whole experience was very fun and enjoyable.”

— Elise, USA

“I was so happy when I got to be part of the make&share community and have first eyes on the patterns in the 11th issue, the difficulty was to choose only one! I did the AINA shirt, and although is not a beginner pattern, I was able to pull it off thanks to the community”
