Summary

I’m looking for an experienced plush toy designer / pattern maker to help turn a children’s book character into a plush toy. The character is Camilo el Camaleón, a cute, rounded chameleon from a children’s book. I already have visual references of the character, including illustrations and 3D-style references. Now I need someone who can translate the character into a real plush toy design and create the sewing pattern. The plush should feel soft, rounded, charming, and child-friendly, while still keeping the key features of the character: curled tail, rounded body, small crest, large expressive eyes, little legs, and colorful details/spots. What I need help with: Translate the chameleon character into a plush-friendly design Create a sewing pattern for the plush toy Recommend fabric types, colors, and construction methods Plan how details should be made, such as eyes, spots, crest, legs, and tail Make sure the design is realistic to sew and stuff Keep the character cute, soft, and close to the book style Optional: create a prototype or guide me on how to have one made Deliverables: Plush toy sewing pattern Pattern pieces with labels Basic sewing/construction instructions Suggested materials and colors Front, side, and back reference views if needed Notes for prototype production or manufacturing Important: This is not just a flat illustration project. I need someone who understands plush toy construction and can design a pattern that can actually be sewn. Experience with plush toys, soft sculpture, character plush, toy manufacturing, or pattern making is required. Please include examples of plush patterns or finished plush toys you have designed before.
