Eudokia Sorochaniuk is a master of the embroidery and weaving techniques used in traditional Hutsul costumes, from decorated leather slippers, belts, and richly decorated sheepskin vests (kyptar) to the elaborate headdresses of a Hutsul bride.

Eudokia has played an important role in maintaining Hutsul culture. In the displaced persons camp in the 1940s, she began collecting traditional Ukrainian stitches and patterns. People gave her scraps of embroidered clothing that were worn out and ready to be discarded. She carefully preserved these and in 2002, using money that she received as a National Heritage fellow in 1999, Eudokia published her rare collection of designs in the book Nyzyanka - Embroidery of the Hutsuls.

After the breakup of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, Eudokia traveled back to Ukraine. There, she discovered that the Hutsul folk traditions had been obliterated under Communist rule and no one was left to teach the next generation. Young women came to Eudokia to learn the traditional nyzanka embroidery; some even traveling to her home in New Jersey to learn their native arts.
