Fluffy Cloud Nursing Arm Pillow
A handy item that makes you say, “This is exactly what I wanted!”—a nursing arm pillow.
Slip the elastic over your arm while nursing and holding your baby, and the soft, pleasant fabric will absorb sweat from your perspiring little one.
Its stability helps reduce strain on Mom’s arm during feeding, which is a welcome bonus.
The pillow’s concave center supports the baby’s head securely, and if your baby falls asleep while nursing, you can place them down on the bedding and keep using it as is.
The video clearly explains everything from drafting the pattern, so even beginners should give it a try.
It’s sure to be a soothing item not only for your baby, but for Mom as well.
Pom-pom baby swaddle
A pom-pom baby swaddle that gently wraps your little one is both cute and stylish, isn’t it? Many people prefer items that feel soft and gentle on a baby’s delicate skin.
This pom-pom swaddle is just the right size, not bulky, and can be used both at home and on the go.
Adding pom-poms around the edges highlights its adorable look.
When attaching the pom-poms, be sure to sew them on securely so they won’t come off.
Anpanman drawstring pouch (sling bag)
Carry your precious things with you! Here’s an idea for an Anpanman drawstring pouch.
You’ll need fabric, colored cord, a pencil, felt, a needle, and thread.
This project doesn’t require a pattern, so it’s great for beginners at handcrafts! It’s adorable to see kids happily filling the pouch their guardian made for them with one treasure after another.
It could be fun to adapt it to the faces of Anpanman’s friends, too! Give it a try.
Dice made from felt fabric
Which character will it be? Let me share an idea for making dice out of felt.
What you’ll need: felt, a needle, thread, and scissors.
Since the dice are made of felt, they have a soft, gentle texture that’s really appealing.
The character faces are cute, and the colorful dice are sure to get kids excited! If you add number designs as an extra touch, children can also get familiar with numbers while playing—highly recommended! Give it a try!
Towel uses that help in disasters
@tomonite_official In a sudden disaster, you might not be able to evacuate with a baby carrier. Holding your baby in your arms the whole time can be tough on your body, so remember the “towel sling” method. You can also use a swaddle or a light scarf instead of a towel. To prevent your baby from falling, always keep a hand under their bottom while carrying them. Reference: NHK Disaster Preparedness Tips.

We would like to introduce an idea for using a bath towel as a baby carrier—an approach that can be helpful in emergencies.
In disaster situations or when you need to move quickly, this is a reassuring way to hold your baby safely.
By folding a large bath towel and tying it in a specific way, you can use it as a substitute for a baby carrier.
It requires no special tools, is easy to carry, and can be put to use by anyone right away.
It gently fits a baby’s body, giving both parent and child a sense of security.
Having this prepared can ease anxiety in times of need and help raise disaster-preparedness awareness at home.
Square swaddle
The “Shikaku Okurumi” (square swaddle) features a simple square shape that makes it easy to use and very practical.
Its mostly straight-stitch construction is beginner-friendly and quick to make.
The easy-to-wrap design doesn’t restrict a baby’s movement, and it’s versatile enough to serve as a blanket substitute or play mat in various situations.
Choose your favorite colors and patterns to enjoy a personalized look.
Simple yet functional, it’s a piece you’ll use for a long time—an excellent handmade swaddle that comes in handy throughout many childcare moments.

A swaddle made from a towel
Perfect for anyone who wants to make something by hand with familiar materials is a “swaddle made from a towel.” The great thing is that if you use a store‑bought bath towel or baby towel, you can start right away without any special preparation.
Towel fabric, which combines absorbency and softness, gently wraps your baby’s body and is useful after bath time or for short outings.
By simply sewing on some tape or tags, you can add a personal touch.
It’s an easy-to-make yet truly practical item—convenient, full of love, and ready for everyday use.
