Hello, I'm hoping there's some experts in sewing here too (I know it's the knitting group), and someone can suggest something...

Anyhoo, I made a game; it's for the PC (and also GBA / DS), and it has it's own website here:

http://www.qwak.co.uk

I've been thinking of having some cuddly fluffy toys made up. I'd need them in 4 colours, to represent the 4 characters in the game (all ducks).

Where could I go to get something like that made up?

I guess it depends on numbers too, maybe 100 to begin with (25 each colour).

Try talking to Jill at the Wool Baa. She has people who knit for other people and might be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks littleblue, where is Wool Baa?

For making stuffed toys, I'm thinking I need:

A pattern or template (to use to cut out the material).

Then it's just getting someone to cut out / sew / stuff them, I guess?

Obv. it's something that's pretty new to me. :)

How do people go about designing the pattern?

Im going to move this onto Crafts as it looks like they might be able to help more than the Knitting Group as it looks like you want sewn ducks rather than knitted ones:) The Wool Baa can be found here (http://www.thewoolbaa.co.uk/) if you want to look at knitted options :)

Just a little update for anyone reading this..

I have some pictures (avatars) of the ducks here:

There are 4 ducks in total, but only 3 shown (the other one is a red duck).
