Sashiko Studio has always had a passion for fabric, textile design and handwork. When Lynne Fortowsky discovered the simple geometric designs of the Japanese craft of Sashiko, she was captivated. These modern looking patterns in fact date back over 500 years and where originally used as a mending, and quilting technique, on clothing and household goods. Her work combines the authentic hand stitching techniques and patterns with modern colors and materials to produce contemporary products with the simple beauty of Japanese style.
