This really isn't about crochet, but kind of has something to do with yarn, so I thought I'd share. A pet peeve of mine is purses without any kind of organizational attributes to them. I can't stand having to dig through a purse just to find my phone or a pen, or whatever it might be. I am a bit intolerant I suppose. Anyway, I sell the original door to door make up line, and several brochures have included purses and a tote that seemed exactly what I wanted, so I purchased one. I really like it, it was a good price, but the organization portion isn't removable. I've tried a couple of the commercial purse organizers and they were just a waste of money. So I decided to see what I could find that I could make. There are patterns for sewn organizers and I even found a pattern for a crocheted one, but none of them suited me. I wanted something that didn't have to be propped up.
After several attempts to find something I set about trying to figure out how to make one myself. I thought of plastic canvas, which would give strength and stability to it, plus I could make it removable if I wanted it to be. And here is where the yarn comes in. It can be decorated like any plastic canvas project, or just have the edges sewn in.
More on my process later.
