Making and Selling Items of Popular Characters

Options
Hi

My partner is looking at making and selling items for children. It involves cutting up for example a Thomas The Tank Engine blanket and changing it into something else and selling it.

Can anyone tell me the legalities of this as she doesn't want to get into trouble :A

Thank you in advance
