About this pattern

Make tidying up a dream with Chloe Hailwood's clever swoop toy bag pattern.

Yowch! There is no greater pain than stepping on rogue Lego bricks scattered across the playroom floor. When the lights go out and it’s time for bed, clear the floor from clutter in a jiffy with this playmat that doubles as an easy pull-cord storage bag. Plus, the joy of a swoop bag isn’t just reserved for our little ones. Mix up the sizes of fabric circles to create different bags for anything from makeup to yarn, a mini bag being perfect for travel and car journeys.
