City Toy Bins: Creative Storage Meets Playful Design


I’m excited to share a project that’s both practical and imaginative: the City Toy Bins Pattern
. These whimsical bins bring organization and fun together, making them perfect for tidying up toys, books, or craft supplies.

What Makes These Bins Special?

The City Toy Bins aren’t just for storage—they’re part of the play! Each bin represents a building in a mini city, from a fire station to a police station and a cheerful house.


These bins are perfect for:

  • Families looking for creative ways to organize.
  • Kids who love imaginative play.
  • Gifting a personalized, handmade touch.

Fabric Inspiration

These bins come to life with fabrics from my It Takes a Village collection for Riley Blake Designs. Featuring bold, playful prints, these fabrics bring the city theme to life.

Want to personalize them? Use themed fabrics that reflect your child’s personality or favorite colors.
