Flower fairy bag almost finished

I've had this flower fairy panel for a very long time. I was drawn to it because this first image has some fairies that were on a collectible tin I owned as a tween. 

I really loved flower fairies, so it made sense for me to make the panel into pockets for a special bag, rather than keep the fabric in my stash, in a cupboard where i can't eaven see it. I bought the panel years ago, immediately when I saw it at Sunlit Blooms, as it seems to be one of those Blink-and-you-miss-it fabrics.

A few of us in the Olive Branch Tuesday group decided to make the large standing up bag. The original pattern used strips of fabric, so I thought I would use some leftover pieces from the quilt as you go childrens quilts I made last year.

Made entirely from the stash, it's surprising how well these all went with the panel fabric. Just those last thick seams to go.

I used a special bag wadding I bought at Just Country Crafts which sits up really well, without being overly stiff. They have the best selection of specialist products for particular purposes.

I've also used fabric medium and sparkly glitter paint on the fairies to make it super sparkly.

It feels so magickal. I am glad to be making something for myself.
