POM POM | 10th Anniversary Issue
Issue 41 marks Pom Pom’s 10th birthday and they have a host of jubilant and celebratory designs which radiate all the joy they’re feeling on this landmark occasion!
Likely one of their most collectable editions yet, this rare bumper edition of Pom Pom Quarterly contains 13 designs for warm and cool climes, so no matter where you live in the world, there’s handmade party outfits aplenty within its pages.
What’s more, Issue 41 comes complete with party favours in the form of two articles and a recipe! Atsushi Futatsuya writes about cultural appropriation and the practice of Sashiko, and Atia Azmi’s ‘A Crafter’s Guide to London’ is a wonderful tribute to the vibrant city in which Pom Pom was founded. Dee Omole shares her recipe for the most stunning white chocolate madeleines – sure to make a statement centrepiece at any shindig.
This is also the first issue printed in their new larger format! Expect lush photographic spreads and more room for patterns. They’ve also permanently increased the page count to bring you even more Pom Pom!
