Maybe it could be fun to sell patterns and have them available as a DIY project? That would ensure ethical labour as far as the making itself goes, and it can be fun to compare progress with each other :D then the only ethics concern would be the fabric itself, which you could either find yourself, or perhaps you could also sell the fabric as a separate little DIY kit? With only the instructions sold via a digital file, we would eliminate both labour concerns and shipping emissions at once. With the DIY kit (material + instrucions) labour concerns are covered. Being able to buy a plushie directly is handy, but I think it would be fun to also have the file or even both options available :D
