The Design
The ECHO blouse & CALLISTO dress are designs I created for the denim issue (number 14) of TAUKO magazine. I was inspired by my beloved geometrics when designing the sculptural sleeves. The name Echo refers to the repeating triangular shapes of the panel sleeves, while Callisto gets its name from one of Jupiter’s moons. This is because the lantern sleeves have a rounded shape.
Both designs were created with the denim theme in mind. In fact, they have several top-stitching details. The front yoke is decorated with tucks.
Fabric
The samples are made in denim. Choose light-weight denim, medium-weight linen, or cotton such as chambray, poplin, or Oxford. Think crisp, structural materials. While medium-weight denim works well for these designs, it will create a lot of bulk and your sewing machine may not sew through all the layers.
You can add more structure to the sleeves by adding interfacing. The ECHO blouse has lined sleeves. Use basic lining fabric or lightweight cotton.

Sizing
The pattern has been graded by TAUKO’s team into 9 sizes that go from 31″/78cm bust to 57.5″/146cm bust. See the picture with the finished garment measurements. Choose your size based on your bust circumference. Add a recommended positive ease of 3–6″/8–15 cm. This is a loose-fitting design.
The pattern comes with seam allowance already added.
