Your roll up looks good, you did a great job. Maybe your having trouble because your pockets are all one size? When I made a roll up, I did different sized pockets leaving the larger ones to the outside end. Small tools roll easier and it gives the larger ones a little more room. That also helps with placing your ties or velcro (what ever you like best). You did do a really nice job. Remember, we learn new things every day. It's the same with sewing, how often have you changed a pattern after you have done it once. This is the same thing, sometimes the first it called a test pattern or a prototype - that's all this is.

Jeanne S has it right. Both ribbons should be sewn at one end. Then when you roll up the pouch, you wrap one length of ribbon around the roll and tie to the other ribbon.
There's a Crayola holder pattern similar to this. The rectangular pouch is quilted (to help prevent breakage) and each crayon fits in a little tube like slot on the face of the pouch, created by sewing a straight piece of fabric along the quilted piece, and then sewing vertical lines of stitches to form the tubes. Then, with crayons inserted, the whole thing can be rolled up and tied. I've made several of them; cute gifts for children. And handy for car trips where coloring books and crayolas are included to pass the time.
