The hot pink purse shown is made of Essex linen which is quilted using a walking foot. The top is embellished with embroidery, gingham piping and Swarovski crystals which are applied using a decorative wand. The handles were created from strips of bias gingham fabric which are filled with cord using Fasturn Tubes.
