Series: Pretty Little Series | Publication Date: May 5, 2009
It’s hip to be crazy for cozies! This latest entry in the successful Pretty Little series elevates the cozy from humble to cool, as crafters everywhere embrace it as the latest sewing craze. Thirty-two cute projects, created by a pool of talented designers, show just how great a comeback can be: they’re colorful, modern, and playfully feminine. In addition to the usual suspects—including covers for iPods, cell phones, CDs, and cups—there are wraps to cuddle such delightfully unexpected objects as a French press, scanner, video game controllers, and a pan handle. An overview of sewing basics, embellishment techniques, construction methods, and fabrics make the crafting easy, even for beginners.

I'm a self-described ADD crafter - big projects end up half-finished on my sewing table. I love the Pretty Little books because of the "Little" factor - they are things that I can complete in an evening, or when I need a little gift to give as a "thank-you" (my house sitter loves the tea-bag cozy!). And, because they are small, they are also inexpensive projects not requiring large investments in fabric. Whenever I find something fun in the remnants bin at my LFS, I can find a project here to use it on!
I'd love to see a Pretty Little Organizers book added to the series....

This review is from: Pretty Little Cozies (Pretty Little Series) (Hardcover)
The entire Pretty little series has alot to offer. The cozies book has that beautiful cozy on the front cover. I am an advanced seamstress, so for me the picture is all I need. The book is loaded with alot of small interesting and easy projects. Great for whipping up a quick gift, or to make something cute and nice for yourself. The book offers alot of things for young people who are out and about. I am retired, so for me it offered things I can make for gifts. I was hoping to find more intricate projects, such as the front cover cozy, but found the book to have less complicated projects, but ones that would be good for people with less experience. I love all the books in this series, and so I was delighted to add this one to my collection. I would recommend this if you are looking for useful items that you can make up quickly. It really has quite a few projects. I gave it 4 stars because the cover makes you think the book has more intricate projects...but the projects the book does offer are all nice, but more plain and simple in construction than the cover photo makes you think the book contains.
