“Topponcino” is a small futon for babies. This item, which originated in Italy, has become a hot topic among Japanese mothers! As there are still few stores that sell it, many people make their own Topponcino. It is easy to make, so it is recommended for beginners. In this article, we will introduce the basic method of making it and examples of cute handmade Topponcino works.
What is Topponcino?
“Topponcino” is a small futon for babies, and babies feel safe when they are surrounded by the scent of their mother and themselves that permeates the Topponcino. If
you hold the Topponcino when holding the baby, you can put the baby to bed with the Topponcino on it when the baby falls asleep. This may stop the back switch that babies often ask about from going off.
It is also convenient to lay it on a bouncer or directly on a tatami mat.
What are the benefits of making things by hand?
Although the topponcino is very convenient, it is not yet widely available on the market, and there are few options for colors and designs.
But if you make it by hand, you can make it with your favorite fabric and design!
Some people make it with a sewing machine, but it is a simple method that can also be made by hand, so it is recommended even for beginners in sewing.
