One of my projects is finished! Took me a bit longer than I thought since I totally changed the design of this bag while I was assembling everything... but: I am really happy with the result. So here it is, the prototype of my new bag design!

I still have to finish the instructions for this pattern. I am really happy with this bag, the only thing this design needs now is a proper name! And I need your help for this:
Please have a look at the bag and all its features and if you can come up with a nice name you are welcome to leave me a comment. I will pick one winner, choose the name they suggested for my new bag design AND as a thank you she (or he?) will get the new pattern for free! You can either leave me a comment below, send me a message or email me at anna(at)charmed-liebling(dot)com. Please leave your name suggestion for the bag pattern, your name and your email address, so that I can contact you in case you win! I am looking forward to your suggestions. I will leave this contest open until November 3 and then pick a winner :)

I added two exterior pockets to this bag, well, actually it is even three pockets :-) There is a divided slip pocket on the front as you can see on the first picture. I decided to go with slanted edges to mix it up a little.

The flap of the bag closes with a magnetic snap. The strap is attached to the bag with two o-rings. Two rivets on either side are used to keep the strap in place.

On the back there is another pocket or should I rather call it pouch? A 3D pocket with a pleated flap, that also closes with a magnetic snap.

The measurements of this bag are 9.5" x 12.5" x 3.25" (height x width x depth). It is a medium sized bag with a very spacious main compartment. Inside their are a slip pocket and a divided elasticized pocket, which goes across the whole width of the interior.

How do you like this bag? I would love to know! And if you have a good name for the pattern I would like to hear about it too :)
Thanks and happy sewing everyone!

Oh I love this new bag! Plenty of pockets and a lovely shape with those curves and defined pockets - it's pretty chic and looks spacious inside but neat and compact on the outside. How about the "Compact (or Complete) City Bag" or "Perfectly Chic Uptown Bag"??

I will name it "All Day Out bag". I specially like the slamted edges slip pocket on the front. Great size too and the pockets keep everything organized.

GORGEOUS BAG! I love the colors you used, and the design is terrific. Naming patterns is so hard! Maybe it could be something like "The Slant Bag". Those slant pockets are the coolest feature of the bag (though actually, the elasticized pockets inside are a close second) and could be featured somehow in the name.

Because there are so many pockets....how about 'pick your pocket' bag.

Love the bag and the colour. How about The Beautiful Vie. As I like the V pocket in the front it really draws you eye. Or Day At The Lake, as we know how much you like Lake Ontario. :)

Love the v shaped pocket on the front. I would name it the everything bag.....it has everything you need in a handbag.

How about "The Sophisticate Bag"

(I'm thinking it would look great in a velvet/wool combo!)
