I am asking for advice again! Instead of teapot cosy I decided to make a cosy for a cafetière/French press and result is rather disappointing... I am OK with colours and pictures but the shape of the thing is rather ugly. It's so towering and heavy looking! Is it proportions that I've got wrong? Or the shape? Any thoughts are very welcome! I ended up with a bead to create some kind of handle to pull it up when needed and no ideas what to do next...

I think the shape is fine actually. I don't see how you can change the shape that much since it has to fit over the French press. Is there a lot of extra space at the top? You could make it shorter if so but otherwise I think it's fine.

I don't think the shape is ugly at all and I like the idea of the bead to pull it up. The picture is fabulous! Love the colours.

Felicity, I think your posey is very artistic and seem great to me. So I have no suggestions for you.

No, there is no space on the top, it sits tight. May be I need to put it aside for a while and then come back with fresh eyes... I might like it after all! Thank you everyone!

I like it. the cup of coffee is great. I don't think it looks to heavy. It is supposed to keep the coffee hot.

Felicity, I think it's lovely and if it fits it's just fine as it is. He coffee cup tells the story and the bead is brilliant for pulling it up!

Well, it seems we're all in agreement! It's great and it has to be that shape. The cup of coffee is perfect. Love it.
