Pom Stitch Tassel was founded by passionate pom pom loving advocate Emma Rendell in 2017.
Whilst on holiday in France, Emma was amazed at how easily children were entertained making pom poms, so much so she decided to share her passion for craft and Pom Stitch Tassel was born.
Emma's career began in sewing in September 2013. She undertook a Level 3 Fashion and Textiles apprenticeship at a local textiles manufacturing company. From then she worked backstage as a seamstress, dressing West End shows, creating high end fashion garments/costumes for various theatres across the south west. Now, she's doing what she loves best - sharing her love of pom poms around the UK!
At Pom Stitch Tassle you can find crafting Pom kits and subscription options to suit kids, teens and adults for many occassions...
