Add farmhouse charm to your stitching with this simple white chicken, drawn as a friendly cartoon-style hen with a red comb and wattle, yellow beak and legs, and neatly outlined wing and tail feathers. The clean shapes and clear black detailing give it an easy-to-read look that suits anyone sewing for a country kitchen, a smallholding gift, or children who love farm animals. It has a tidy, unfussy character that feels sweet rather than babyish.
With 5 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it should sit well on practical fabrics that can carry a bit of structure, such as cotton aprons, tea towels, tote bags, sweatshirts or gingham cushion covers. The white body stands out especially well on darker or natural backgrounds, while the simple appliqué styling keeps the overall look crisp and graphic. Because it comes in a wide size range, it can work as a small accent on a pocket or as a more noticeable feature on the front of a bag or the back of a child's jacket.
