After I posted about the Encore Purse Insert the other day<\/a>, I went looking at my patterns to see what other purse inserts I had. I wanted to compare them by size and shape.<\/p>\n

\"Encore<\/a>

As you saw, I have the Encore Purse Insert, thanks to Sherri D<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a large insert at 11.5 x 5.5 x 6 inches. I am guessing it is either 5.5. or 6 inches tall. This is definitely for a larger handbag or tote bag. Since I haven’t made it yet, I can only say that I think it would  be super useful in a tote bag.<\/p>\n

I am also wondering if it could be used for quilt travel for supplies. One downside is that it is open, so the larger bag would have to be closed. That is also on the plus side, because an open bag means easier access.<\/p>\n

\"Mustang<\/a>
Mustang Purse Organizers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I also have the Mustang Purse Organizers. These are part of Minikins Season 3<\/a>. As you know this is a 12 pattern and video bundle, so you get more than just the Mustang pattern for the price.  I made both sizes for my mom<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n

The smaller size is 8 inches long x 5.5 inches tall x 3 inches deep. The larger size is 11.5 inches long x 6.75 inches tall x 3.5 inches deep. The sizes are similar to the Encore, which gives me an idea of the size of Encore.* I know my mom transfers her stuff from one purse to the other using the smaller organizer.<\/p>\n

\"Paint<\/a>

I also have a pattern from Sotak Handmade called Purse Organizer<\/a>. I have made two of these, one for Mom<\/a> and one for Gerre<\/a>. I haven’t had any complaints, but they are very different from the handbag organizers above.<\/p>\n

One of the advantages of the organizers above is that they are open, so you can slip your hand into your handbag and pull out what you need. This is flatter and closed. There are external pockets as well, which means you could take it out of a larger handbag and carry with you or transfer it quickly to your work bag.<\/p>\n

\"Sotak<\/a>

I also have the Multi Pocket Organizer<\/a> from Sotak Handmade. I have not made this pattern yet. Now that I see it again, I am eager  to make it. It is a combination, it seems of the Mustang and the Sotak Purse organizer. It might be the right size to use in my new handbag. I like her patterns and this one holds quite a bit in an organized manner. It is (wide on bottom x tall x deep): 10” x 6 1\/2” x 4”, so in between the large and small sizes of the Mustang.<\/p>\n

\"Handy<\/a>

I also have a pattern called Handy Purse Organizer<\/a> by Caroline Fairbanks-Critchfield. I couldn’t find the finished size on the blog post. There are 13 pockets \u2013 6 mesh, 6 fabric, and one interior zipper pocket, which is useful info.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of free patterns on the Sew Can She<\/a> site. I haven’t made this one, but it is another option for purse organizers.<\/p>\n

Am I going to have 35 purse organizers? LOL!<\/p>\n

* I know what 11 inches is, but the numbers don’t get into my brain and I need to see a bag to actually understand the size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
