Introduction by Jennie:-
If you know me at all, you know I have an absolute love for sewing & organising and especially for the two combined! Yet, somehow my bag is always a bottomless pit for things I cannot find. So, I created the Iris Purse/Handbag Organiser to help keep things tidy inside my purse and make switching bags a breeze. With lots of slip pockets (no fewer than 12!!), a zipper pocket, and a clip for my keys, the organiser makes finding things in my bag easy and swapping bags a breeze!
