[Nfb-krafters-korner] Help from sewers or knitters

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Cindy;
My work gift shop has a leather purce organizer that you can put in almost any purce.  It has card slots, 2 pockets and a large pocket in the middle.  It has a ring to hold on to it.  With items in it, it will expand, but when empty, it is flat.  I can check the price or you might find one someplace that sells purces.

Okay, I am designing a knit (not felted) purse and I want to make a liner for it that will be divided and contain a couple of pockets within it. The liner will be removable from the purse so that I can have the same purse in different colors/patterns and simply move the liner from one purse to the other on the fly.

Ideally, I would like the liner to be machine wash and dry. If I could get the outside sides (picture a box for simplicity of this explanation) to be stiff  so that if you sat it on a table it would stand up on its own (or at least once it is filled with items), this would be the heavy support I am looking for.

My preference would be to fuse the fabric instead of sewing but that is also an option. Just remember that I will NOT be fusing the fabric to the purse.

Please tell me about any of the products regarding bags that you know of. I have been looking at different patterns for knit purses and 90% are felted.
I do not want felting because I want to use yarns that are machine wash and dry. Also, I have not found any patterns that include dividers inside the purse. Plus, like I mentioned above, I really want the liner to be removable so I can switch purses whenever I want without the hassle of reorganizing and not being able to find things.

Feel free to call me if you need a better description or to talk through options. I am finally up to talking to people again. It was really hard those first few days but I am now able to talk about her without crying so much.
