Oh my, what an adorable bag!! I can see how I can easily get sidetracked from finding how to do the dividers. Thanks so much for the link. I hope I can incorporate this tute in a simple tote.

It is going to depend greatly on the bag you are making. Can you give a little more detail. I do a lot without a pattern and rarely do exactly as the pattern says. Dividers can be sewn into the seams or added to the sides. They can have buttons, zippers, velcro, etc. I absolutely love to create my own style and would love to help you with this.

Im thinking make a divider the size of the bag, plus seam allowance all around. Use batting and interfacing to stiffen to your liking. Sew the three layers together at one seam that will be the top. Turn, press and topstitch, if want. Quilt pc to your liking. I would sew this into the side and bottom seams so It divides the bag in half. If you want a boxed bottom, youd have to play with the placement so the sides arent crunched. I hope this helps, its hard to put in words what I see in my head. Lol
