I have a bag that I take to church with me and it has to have all these items in it (see picture above). There are scissors, crayons, a bean bag (don't ask why- I really do need it), plasti-tack, cell phone, a pen, diapers and wipes, fruit snacks, enough small treats for a classroom full of wiggly children, and action figures of course for the two year old. And there is only one pocket in the whole tote bag to put that stuff. Dang! This bag also has to hold a few books and it is always a mess... until..... drum roll please.....until I make a purse organizer insert.
I made this 6 pocket insert out of left over fabric from a really cute pouch style baby sling I recently made. There are 4 large pockets and two small ones. It measures 10.5 inches wide and 9.5 inches tall with 8 inch tall pockets and the reverse side of what you see here looks just the same with another 3 pockets. Each of the big pockets is big enough for a package of disposable wipes, or 3 diapers, or water bottle, or a sippy cup. The small pockets are made to fit a cell phone or pens/scissors/pencils.
So the moral of my story? My bag is full of all sorts of stuff but doesn't feel over-full and messy anymore because of the pockets! And yes, everything in that picture fits in that organizer!
These six pocket organizers are available to purchase. Click here to see them.
