1. First, print out the pattern on a A4 paper size.

2.

Choose the fabric of your choice. I recommend using natural cotton with cute cottage-core inspired prints.

3.

Fold the fabric in half, place the body part pattern and trace with erasable fabric marking pens. Leave 3 cm for the seam allowance. Secure the pattern to the fabric with securing pins and cut out two pieces of chicken body.

Cut out 2 pieces of combs and 2 pieces of wattles with a contrasting color. Secure wattles and combs on each body part, placing them face to face. hand stitch or machine stitch along the edge of the body. Then iron the seam allowance and sandwich each body part face to face. Secure with securing pins.

5.

Sew along the edge all around the body and combs and wattles, leaving just a small opening along the breast area to turn over. Stuff with the fiber filling and close the opening with a ladder stitch.

Secure the heart wing to the body with an embroidery thread using the cross-stitch technique.

8.

Create tufts on the tail by inserting the needle with an embroidery thread inside the wing and pulling it out on the right side. Stitch a knot by pulling the needle through the layers to another side. Tighten the thread to make tufting.
Using a black embroidery thread, stitch an eye using the same method as for tufts.

Welcome , dear heart, to this small and sacred corner of my world!
I am a wife and a homemaker, a gardener with soil beneath my feet, an artist with paint and embroidery threads in my hands, and a storyteller at heart. My days unfold in a tiny 38-foot camper tucked beyond the long hush of pine trees in the Tennessee countryside, where I live with my husband, Roy, and our two little boys. Here, where the field stretches wide and wild around our patch of gravel, we have finally found what we once only longed for — home.

Each day, I gather the simple, scattered pieces placed gently before me — a loaf rising in the kitchen, fabric waiting beneath my needle, yarn slipping through steady fingers, seeds pressed into waiting soil. I tend them as I tend my home: slowly, imperfectly, with devotion. In the weaving together of these ordinary fragments, I seek to cultivate joy and beauty even amid the sorrows and sharp edges of this world.
You will find here the things I cherish most: wholesome meals made from scratch, simple sewing and handmade crafts, knitting tutorials, my hand-drawn illustrations, and my love for slow, timeless fashion woven tenderly into my handmade collection, Home & Woods. Each creation carries the rhythm of a life lived close to the earth and close to the heart.
My roots reach deep into the soils of Ukraine and Moldova, the lands where I was born and raised, where for sixteen years I learned the quiet skills of handmade living — how to stitch, knead, plant, mend, and make beauty out of what is given. Those early lessons still guide my hands.
With a luminous gift of wonder, I search for beauty lingering in ordinary places — in the warmth of bread, in the hush of a garden at dusk, in the whistling echoes of bobwhites, and swaying sheets drying under the open sky. It is there, in the heart of home, that I believe true abundance lives.
May the recipes, crafts, and creations you find here gently inspire you to shape your own dwelling — whether cottage, camper, or quiet corner — into a place of warmth, simplicity, and belonging. A place where wonder is welcomed daily, and where home is not merely lived in, but lovingly made.
With Love, Evelina
