Give me a Name!

I need your help! I have made these beautiful bags but they do not have a name! 
Each one is a convertible bag, which means you can carry it as a shoulder bag or a backpack!
 They are very spacious with two interior elastic pockets. This one in the Eiffel Tower print went to the Art Teacher at school. She has a little one of her own and she said that the backpack mode is wonderful and leaves her hands free to help her daughter.  
I love it when a bag has more than one use. 
The bag in linen is for my sister, she has a greyhound named Max. I thought she could use it for going to the outdoor markets and beach with her puppy. Now she just needs a matching collar for Max!
 This Zebra print bag is going to my Step-Monster, I mean Step-Mother. :) She has a job that takes her all over. If you like to travel (or have to travel) this would make a fun carry all bag for any adventure. 
So, now I need your help. If you have a clever name for this cute bag please share!!! 
Any suggestions are welcome! If I use your name I will send you a free epattern from Sew Spoiled!
Thanks!

okay --- so it's a convertible bag... convertibles remind me of the breeze in my hair, and it looks like a breeze to convert, so...

That bag is fabulous!
When I think of convertible I always think:

"Cabriolet" or "Cabrio" for short.

I had a VW Cabrio, LOVED that car!! =) This bag would have looked wonderful sitting in the passenger seat ;)

The name of a bag is really important to whether or not I will take a second look. That may sound dumb, but it's true. I liked the Weekender Tote before I fully checked it out because it sounded like it would suite my weekend trips to my parents house. With that said something like
Delightful Doubler,
Adaptable Tote,
Freestyle Carryall, or simply
Convertible Tote sound great. That's all I have so far. =)

At first glance I thought these bags looked like apples or maybe pumpkins. How about...

the Apple-Bottom Bag?

or

the Harvest Sling/Backpack?

I can't wait to get my hands on this pattern. Congratulations on another fabulous design!

great names so far! I quite like the one "Delightful Doubler".
Only one I can think of are-
Double Joy Bag
Duo-licious Bag
Double whammy bag! :)

Wow, there are some great names already.
Since this bag has dual purpose straps, it seems the name should be two words? (most of your bags have one name in the title, French Cuff being an exception).
How about "Dual Duty"? or you could use the name of one of your chlidren?

BTW, I especially love the Eiffel Tower fabric. What a wonderful gift.
Peace.

The first thing that popped into my head was the "country traveler" It has a casual yet purposeful look to it. Or maybe "country convertible".
Oh and its beautiful!

I'd call it the "sew spoiled mixer bag" since you can wear it two ways to mix it up.

I love the bags but I am not good at picking names, the name that came to my mind is the 'Do-it-All' bag!

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....

Cute as a Button Bookmark Tutorial

These are called Cute as a Button Bookmakers. They are cheap, easy to make and are wonderful gifts!  All you need is  Bookmarkers/ PaperClips Size 45 or 1 1/8" Button Covers and kit Glue Gun Pliers (which you won't need if you get the flat back buttons). Step 1: Make a few fabric covered buttons.  These are size 45 or 1 1/8" buttons. Step 2: If you use normal buttons you will need to take the loops off to make them flat. However you can buy flat back buttons and not have to worry about the loop. Step 3: Add a dab of hot glue to the top of the large paperclip pad and place your fabric button on top of the glue. Step 4: Let it cool and it's ready to use! Happy Crafting!
