It’s been ages and ages since I’ve had a spare moment to post an update.
Work is crazy - I’m trying to balance a hectic day-job with an over full freelance schedule. If you really look forward to news please add me to your twitter… twitter.com/loungekat
My super popular “Choose Your Own Rebellion” cross-stitch pattern is featured in Mixtape Issue 10!
“Mixtape is a collision of craft, eco-cool and pop culture kitsch” and costs a tiny $8… You can order a copy online at - mixtapezine.bigcartel.com (preview image is not to scale, unless that kid is super tiny) or you can pick up a copy from Mag Nation, while stocks last.
It’s been well over a year since I devised the concept, built the pattern and produced a test stitch (with the help of my ever persistent sister – Beth) so it’s nice to see it getting out there and into the hands of the craft folk.
I started to stitch this myself, but 90% into the project I put it down and haven’t picked it up again – as is often the case with me and craft!
I hope a few of you get out there and buy a copy – it’s well worth it just for the article on Ethically Challenged Corporations.
Long live Craftivism!

A bit more about MrXstitch
I’m Jamie Chalmers, also known as Mr X Stitch. My mission is to bring the world of cross stitch and embroidery to a whole new audience.
I started Mr X Stitch in 2008 as a way of creating cross stitch patterns that I was excited to do, and now I want to highlight new needlecraft pioneers and raise awareness of contemporary crafters.
I have been stitching for over five years and really believe in the benefits of the craft movement, both from a relaxation and a sustainability perspective.
My partner in this crime is Beefranck, ( my sista from a diff’rent mista.)
Beefranck (or Bee Franck) is another highly accomplished stitcher who doesn’t say nearly enough about herself. After a bit of Google-stalking I’m personally taken with her generosity (thought art swaps with other crafsters) sense of humour, and unfaltering support of MrXstitch, Lets hope she takes a few more steps into the spotlight as the Manbroidery craze takes off.
