Thanks for the tip, but I did it one better for the lazy people (or time challenged) like me. Take either one fabric-the kind with a stiffer matting inside, place one mat or 2 sewn side by side-this will depend on how long you want it to be, (two are great for using in large tote bags or beach bags for holding lotions. )Fold in half and sew, then sew pockets as wide as you need for your items.
The placemats are already p
What a wonderful pattern. I just made one in reds and it turned out beautifully.
Should have read…take one fabric placemat..not one fabric..sorry for the confusion.
Greta idea, I think I’ll make these as gifts and add a tab to the end with some velcro.
Cheers
P.S. I like the placemat idea too.
I have to add to this idea….I used a table runner, the same weight as a firm placemat, and it worked great. One table runner, cut in half, made 2 good-sized purse organizers. I bought mine cheap, cheap, on clearance at Tuesday Morning.
What a perfect solution! I make my own purses and put in pockets that go from side to side, but there’s always that stuff in the middle……….
Thanks again!
Can you proivde an example of the interfacing you used? ie. name brand
I did not understand German #250. Is that a brand?
When I open the PDF it opens in Wordpad and I cannot make heads or tails out of it. Can you help Me?
Hi Carol, do you have Adobe Reader installed? You need that to open pdf files. You can download it here (free): Adobe Reader. If you do have it installed already, try right clicking on the pdf, click “open with”, and then select Adobe Reader.
I love this idea so much! such a better and more affordable solutution than buying one! Going to make one with my daughter… can’t wait!
Nice!! I started to make one for my jumbo purse, I’m making it larger but is the same idea, I just need to go to buy some pellon (heavyweight interfacing) and then I will have it ready in just minutes
Thank you for this useful pattern. I plan to make this for a Christmas present. I think she will love it. I need one also. Thank you again.
SUch a lovely idea. I’m into using up fabric from old clothing. The plastic in icecream containers and cold drink bottles is also useful to cut up and use for reinforcing in bags etc. Added bonus is that they are then fully washable. I call m handbag a mobile black hole of Calcutta!!!! This is the solution!Thanks so much!
I’m so tired of searching for stuff in my purse! Can’t wait to make one–please send pattern!
