Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine — Issue 00

The Beginning of Something Strange

Welcome to the very first issue of Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine — an independent alternative cross stitch publication built for stitchers who love spooky aesthetics, unconventional creativity, indie artists, and beautifully weird little projects.

Issue 00 is our premiere launch issue and serves as an introduction to the world of Chaos. Think of it as the foundation stone before the magazine fully expands into future contributor features, seasonal issues, SAL coverage, artist spotlights, and larger collaborative content.

Inside Issue 00, you’ll find:

• 3 original “House Designs” created in-house by Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine

• A feature article on surviving black Aida

• A curated inspiration and mood board page

• A roadmap for the future of Chaos

• A sample contributor feature page using Starlume Stitchery as a stand-in example for future artist spotlights

• A hidden bat somewhere within the issue

• A callout for new indie designers and contributors

• A letter from the editor

• A first glimpse into the strange little world we’re building

What Are “House Designs”?

House Designs are original patterns created directly under Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine and its parent company, Bone & Briar Holdings.

These are designs published internally by the magazine rather than submitted by independent contributors. Future issues of Chaos may include both House Designs and contributor-created patterns from featured indie artists.

Free for Mailing List Subscribers

Issue 00 is available completely free when signing up for the Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine mailing list.

For readers who prefer not to subscribe, the issue is also available separately in our shop for $1.

This small launch issue is our way of introducing readers to the tone, atmosphere, creativity, and future direction of Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine while helping build the community from the very beginning.

Whether you’re here for the spooky patterns, the indie artists, the hidden bats, or the cozy weirdness, we’re incredibly excited to have you here at the start of it all.
