'Name this Bag' GIVEAWAY

The response to the Long Wallet eBook has been great and that just inspires me to come up with new ideas.  After coming back from my trip and catching up on household work,  I am now happily back to creating.  I am thinking that maybe...just maybe...making and selling patterns and ebooks might just be my destiny.  I have long given up the idea of reviving a career in the corporate world.  That just isn't my calling. Now, I am finding simple joy in creating things and sharing them with the world.  I am constantly thinking and imagining. And after the recent events in my life, sewing certainly has proven to be great therapy for me.

And so here is a new bag idea.  I drafted a simple pattern and then sewed it up using the same materials as I did in my wallet prototype.  It is a fairly large and roomy bag that closes with a flap and magnetic snap, 10" wide at the top, 13 1/2" at its widest point, 9 1/2" tall, with a 3" gusset...just the right size to carry around on a typical day out.  The handles are 20" long.  For a first try, the bag turned out quite beautifully. However, it is not yet perfect and I will have to make a few adjustments when I make the final version.

I am currently writing up the instructions for making this bag but I need some of your help. Would you care to give this BAG STYLE a name?  If you do, the featured bag above can be yours!

TO BE IN THE RUNNING TO WIN THIS BAG, all you have to do is leave a comment here with a suggested name for this bag style.  Please leave your email address as well so I can contact you in the event that you win.  I will not give a timeframe for this competition just yet as I would like to get as many suggestions as I can. COMPETITION CLOSES 11:59 pm, Sunday, 22nd of March, Australian Eastern Standard Time.

I am going to use the winning name for the eBook I am making, which I hope I will be able to release really soon.  The competition is open to anyone who wishes to enter it.  I am willing to ship this bag to anywhere around the world!  

REMEMBER...think of a name for the bag style and not the particular bag shown here.

Hope you can all join in. Good luck!
