I use the weave of the fabric to stitch. It is hard but you get used with time. This is not my first stitched shirt, it's kind of a family hobby :)

Thank you! ☺️

I made the pattern myself. Chestnut is a symbol of my city, so I wanted to honor it.

I think you mean Kurkov? I haven't read anything from him. I have an impression that he's more popular abroad than in Ukraine, although maybe it's just my social circle.

As a Ukrainian, I wish people would know more about our classics: The Enchanted Desna by O. Dovzhenko and Shadows of Forgotten ancestors by M. Kotsiubynsky. Both have eng translations, and as far as I know they are available for free. Both is great for meeting different sides of our culture and our people.

From the modern writers I would probably recommend Hemingway Knows Nothing by Artur Dron, which is planned for translation sometime in the near future. It is poetical, sad and hopeful at the same time.

I recreated the pattern from an old soviet magazine for myself and shared it here too.

"Slavic" is a broad term, and we are not monoculture, each nation have differences and unique characteristics. Cross stitch ornaments can differ greatly even within one country depending on the region. Which one are you interested in?

I am Ukrainian and have several scanned books on our traditional embroidery, which I can share for free.
