Artists have always used clothing to express political, environmental, or cultural ideals. Clothing is like a language—a powerful and meaningful form of expression. In this issue, we delve into the art of dressing, inspired by our favorite artists.

As a seamstress or tailor, you hold the magic wand: clothing and styling can become a unique creative art form. The garments featured in TAUKO Magazine No. 7, "The Art of Dressing," invite you to play with different roles, discover new forms of expression, and transform the act of dressing itself into poetry. All patterns are available in 9 sizes – from 78 cm to 146 cm bust.

TAUKO Magazine is a pioneering independent print publication for home sewers worldwide. The diverse perspectives of craft, culture, and climate are explored through sewing patterns, interviews, columns, articles, tips, and recommendations from international contributors.

FORMAT
TAUKO is a 128-page collector's item measuring 275 mm x 215 mm. The magazine includes four folded pattern sheets. It is printed in Estonia and is glued and stapled to ensure durability and readability.

Good to know:

Delivery and shipping

We usually ship your order within Germany within approximately 7 business days – often it's faster. Shipping is handled by DPD .

For international deliveries, we use UPS . Delivery times vary depending on the country and shipping provider.

Fabrics up to 30 meters are delivered doubled on winding boards as standard – this saves on packaging, reduces shipping costs, and is more sustainable than shipping on rolls. If you prefer delivery on a roll , please contact us in advance – we'll check if this is possible for your order quantity.

For fabrics with limited stock, you may occasionally receive a pieced-together shipment (several pieces instead of one continuous length). If you prefer a single, continuous piece, please contact us before ordering at info@lebenskleidung.com – we're happy to help.

Even for larger order quantities, we will advise you personally – just get in touch!

Our shipping practices are based on three principles:

  1. Avoid stubby sections
  2. Less waste for greater sustainability
  3. Keep shipping costs as low as possible

You can find the complete terms and conditions of delivery and quality here.

Sample service

Test in advance – with our sample service

Order a 13 x 13 cm fabric sample and find out if the color, feel, and quality are suitable for your sewing project. This way, you can make a more sustainable decision and avoid unnecessary returns.

We ship sample orders in an environmentally friendly way via Deutsche Post in an envelope (without tracking). If you also order fabrics, we will simply include the sample with your shipment.

And the best part: With every sample order you receive a €5 voucher for your next order – so it's doubly worthwhile!

Here you can find an overview of all fabric samples.

Certification & Sustainability

Lebenskleidung is GOTS-certified – the world's leading standard for organically produced natural fibers. The GOTS seal stands for strict environmental and social criteria along the entire supply chain – from cultivation to fabric finishing. You can find more information on our website here.

Here you can find our current certificate.

Important: Only fabrics in our shop that are marked with the GOTS logo are actually certified. You can find all the details about each certification transparently in the product information.

Even with non-certified fabrics, we ensure fair and sustainable sourcing. Many materials, for example, come from deadstock – high-quality surplus fabrics that would otherwise sit unused in our warehouse. By making them available, we make good use of existing resources. Take a look at our deadstock fabrics .
