Brief: Custom Stacky Plushie Prototype

I’m looking for a maker to create a custom plushie of a character called Stacky, with a focus on keeping the cost friendly for an early-stage startup. This would likely be a soft prototype or small-batch sample rather than a large production run. I need help turning the character idea into a clean, huggable plush that feels polished enough to show to potential customers, partners, or investors.

Please focus on a simple construction approach that balances visual appeal, durability, and affordability. If possible, I’d like guidance on the best size, fabric choices, and stitching details to keep the plush economical without losing personality. Experience with character plush design, pattern making, and prototype sewing would be especially helpful. The end result should be a physical plush sample that can represent the brand well while staying realistic for a startup budget.

Skills needed: plush pattern making, character plush sewing, soft toy prototyping, fabric selection

Tools: sewing machine, fabric scissors, embroidery tools, pattern cutting tools

Materials: plush fabric, polyfill stuffing, embroidery thread, felt accents
