One fat quarter is enough for both fabric pieces, or a fat eighth of 2 fabrics, or anyleftover fabric.
From fabric:Cut 1 – 19½”x9”Cut 1 – 19½”x8” These sizes can be adjusted to fit whatever size you need for your purse, just measure the inside of your purse.
Not all the pictures will match the words. When I came to the end I realized that the interfacing needs to be smaller than what I started with.
From Timetex or Peltex or some other stiff interfacing [if you don’t have the fusible interfacing, you will also need a fusible web, such as Wonder Under.]:Cut 1 – 18x4
⅛
”Cut 1 – 18x3
⅝
”Fold both fabric pieces in half lenghtwise with WST and crease. Place one long edge of the interfacing along the fold and leaving½” of the fabric along the short edges, and
⅜
”along one long edge Fuse.On one edge of both piecesfold the ½” on the short side to the interfacing.
This should be the edge of the interfacing along the fold of the fabric.
Fold both pieces in half,WST, and press.
Place the shorter piece RST on top of the larger piece, with the ½” side folds, and raw edges even.Pin along the long raw edge, stitch with a ¼” seam, backstitching on both ends. You can use a serger for this seam, or overcast the edges.Fold to place the seam on the inside.Sew a line of stitvching through all layers to make whatever size and number of pockets you’d like.I sewed 1¾” from the side with the folds, and 2¼” from the raw edge side. I try to get seams at the middle, which will be the side of the purse.

Thanks! I need to redo it sometime when I have some extra time [yeah, right!]. When I do, I'll let the LG group know.
Eileen, I found you on the Lazy Girl Blog and just looked at your purse insert. You have done a great job with this pattern!! You should sell it. Thanks for sharing. Bekama7
