Step 7Wrap-up and Ideas
My plan called for only one side of the binder to be covered in velcro, and for the other side to be undecorated. This would allow that second side to sit flat against the back of my bag.
I decided after I was all done, though, that it would be worth it to get a second box of velcro to cover the back of the binder, too, because I could put something thin there, and I had two extra pockets from the jacket! I had a perfect use: I like to keep a few single doses of common medicines with me (allergy, headache, ibuprofen, etc) as well as some stain wipes, just to be prepared. Those take up very little room and fit perfectly in the wide pocket without adding much thickness. I also put a spare pair of contact lenses in one of the small pockets on the front. I haven't found a use for the fuzzy pocket on top yet.
I've considered putting a small piece of prickly velcro on the inside of my bag, just to hold the organizer in place, but this hasn't been necessary yet. I ended up attaching a small strap to the top of the organizer, using a spare piece of the vest material and some extra prickly velcro. This has helped me lift it out of the bag, when that's been necessary.
Interestingly, I've found myself noticing small bags and boxes in various stores that I could velcro-ize and attach to the organizer. A pencil box or pouch might be an interesting addition.
So, there you go. This has kept me immensely more satisfied with my bag, and, when I get completely sick of it next month, I'll have a platform to start over with.
