Join Jamie Chalmers, Mr XStitch himself, for a magical mystery 12 Days of Christmas Stitchalong! If you love some seasonal stitching with a twist, sign up to join in with this fabulously festive project!
Get ready!
If you haven't met Mr XStitch, you're in for a treat! Mr X, aka Jamie Chalmers, is responsible for producing the fabulous XStitch Magazine, published quarterly, jam packed with cross stitch patterns from designers all over the world.
This summer, he is launching a Mystery Christmas Stitchalong that begins on 1st July! The stitchalong costs £24.00 (currency converter at transaction), and includes 12 exclusive images that are released fortnightly, so you'll have them all stitched and ready for Christmas! With only five colours and a mid-century vibe, this project will get you feeling festive from the start!
This is a good project for beginners and anyone who likes a bit of seasonally inspired stitching - but trust us, it’s not like the Christmas Stitchalong you might expect...
