pattern for a many-pocketed purse?

I love purses, and I have been looking for a pattern to crochet a purse for myself. The problem is that if the purse isn't sufficiently organized (i.e., doesn't have a ton of pockets and compartments), I quickly get frustrated with it and stop using it. Most crochet purse patterns I've found are for single-compartment bags...

Does anyone know of a good pattern for a multi-pocketed purse for those who can't stand disorganization? It can either be your original design, or something you found online. Thanks in advance!

Not quite what you're looking for, but I recall a pattern where the LINING had all sorts of pockets. No, I don't remember where or even whether it was crochet or knit, but it's an alternative idea for you.

Have you looked in Crochet Pattern Central (free) for a pattern? http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/bags_totes_purses.php

I had not even thought of modifying a liner-- that's a great idea! Thank you! It shouldn't be to hard, then, to modify a single-compartment purse pattern...

But, if anyone does happen to know a multi-pocket purse pattern, I'd still love to hear it!

In the meantime I will check Crochet Pattern Central again for what I am looking for.

I know they have some nice pocketed patterns on the lion brand website. I am making it into a crochet bag with pockets but on the round instead of like a purse.

Good luck!
