The pattern is very straightforward and easy to follow. The skills required are somewhere between beginner and intermediate. I had never added an elastic pocket, so that was fun for me. The hardest part was the interior zipper pocket and they aren&#8217;t hard, really, just fiddly. If you have done one they are relatively straightforward. If you haven&#8217;t done one, then the directions in the pattern are great!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67689\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67689\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250823_184754_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-67689\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250823_184754_wm-sm-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"Multi-Pocket Organizer front\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250823_184754_wm-sm-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250823_184754_wm-sm-1024x695.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250823_184754_wm-sm-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250823_184754_wm-sm.jpg 1182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Multi-Pocket Organizer front<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I don&#8217;t use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4g8W8Zd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fusible fleece<\/a>** much for bags, but it works really well in this pattern. I didn&#8217;t quilt the pieces, which should come as no surprise, but quilted fabric would work in this pattern.<\/p>\n<p>I might try foam one time if I make one in the future.<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure I chose well when I picked that floral as it doesn&#8217;t go well with the neon pink stripe. Still I like both fabrics. For the next one, I might choose a solid for the fabric under the pocket and use the pocket fabric for the back as well. The pocket covers up so much of the exterior, as is often the case with a front pocket, that I like to use a fabulous fabric for the front pocket.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67696\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67696\" style=\"width: 165px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250824_113838_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-67696\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250824_113838_wm-sm-165x300.jpg\" alt=\"Multi-Pocket Organizer in my handbag\" width=\"165\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250824_113838_wm-sm-165x300.jpg 165w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250824_113838_wm-sm-564x1024.jpg 564w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250824_113838_wm-sm-768x1393.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250824_113838_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 165px) 85vw, 165px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Multi-Pocket Organizer in my handbag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Half of my handbag is a mess!

Before I sent off this bag, I tried it out in my handbag. It&#8217;s a bit of a squeeze and might not work when full, but maybe worth a try. I can always use it in my <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2023\/07\/finished-kit-supply-tote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kit Supply Tote<\/a>, if it doesn&#8217;t end up working in my handbag.

It might make a good pouch regardless of where I use it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I really like this pattern and will probably make one for myself.
