You are so right about the cozies making it easier for kids to hold them. One of my pigs is a nibbler so having the cozy to nibble on instead of a finger is a great help. Nice cozy. I made mine with handstitching and it looks terrible but it works great. They love them.
I think you did a great job for being your first one! I would love to make or have one made for my little girl, Hope. I think she would really like it. How did you make yours. My sewing abilities are not the greatest, but would be interested in learning how to make a cozy.
