In 1997 I left school and enrolled in the Diploma in Fashion and Textile Design at Northland Polytechnic where I graduated in late 1999. I have worked only 2 full time jobs in my life (well paid work anyway ;) ), one as manager of a Fabric Store for 2 years, and then as Manager of The Importer Rotorua for 7 years before having my children. Whilst working full time, I also studied Interior Design by correspondence. After the birth of Noah, now almost 5, I began to sew and gift a few bits and pieces for kids to friends and family. I was always hearing "You should sell these", and so 'Potamus' was born.
Potamus is the name my husband gave to me when I was pregnant with my first son, Noah. Originally I thought he was calling the baby Potamus. After I decided to use it as my business name, he set me straight on the true meaning!
All items are created by hand, so no two are identical. Please allow for slight variation from what is shown in the photos. I'm a one-mummy business and I usually make your item when you order it. I always post the same day as payment shows in my account.
My cogs are always cranking, so please keep checking back, and feedback is always appreciated.
If there is something specific you would like, please feel free to post on the wall or send me a private email. I'll be happy to help where I can.
