This is a purse organizer that I have made for my sisters, and a few close friends. It's a bit fiddly, but the pattern is excellent, and it turns out great. There's room for credit cards, coins, paper money, 4 exterior pouches for cell phone, keys, etc., and an interior pouch where I put a small pad of paper, elastic holders for pens, lipsticks, etc. The great part is that you can change purses easily, just by grabbing the tabs, and taking it out of one purse and into another. I got the pattern from the Clotilde website
http://www.clotilde.com/list.html?cr...s+purse+insert and it's called a "Portapockets Purse Insert".
