Edith Grace Designs Est. 2012
Edith Grace Designs was established in 2012, selling original doll knitting patterns. Edith Grace Creations was created in 2018, selling tartan cross stitch patterns, and Edith Grace Vintage was created in 2024, selling modernised & resized vintage knitting patterns. My online shops are named after my Granny Grace Cox nee de Quincey. She lived in London and worked as a Master Tailor in the West End fashion houses. She was evacuated to Deddington, Oxfordshire in 1941 and met my Grampy. She became the local seamstress in the village of Deddington. I have a lifelong passion for knitting and have been designing knitting patterns since 2012. My patterns range from fair isle knitting to using knitting stitches to create texture and colour and are designed for intermediate and advanced knitters, worked flat using two single-pointed needles. My designs are original, inspired by nature, history, places I visit, and where I live in the English countryside.

Textiles & Dressmaking Tutor
I am a 30+ years qualified and experienced teacher who tutors Textiles & Dressmaking in the Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire area. I tutor children, young people, and adults in sewing machine skills, dressmaking, knitting, crocheting & textiles. From the age of 16yrs, I trained as a professional ballet dancer. After many years on the stage I gained professional teaching qualifications and opened Deddington Ballet School in 1996. I retired from teaching ballet in June 2021. Since 2012, I have used my teaching skills to tutor children's knitting, textiles & dressmaking in Brackley, Northamptonshire. I studied City & Guilds qualifications at IDC College, Bromsgrove, and gained several qualifications in Fashion and Textiles including a Level 3 Certificate in Textiles. In 2023, I started a BA (Hons) in Creative Arts with The Open College of Arts (The Open University), specialising in textiles and art to develop my artistic work and explore the creative process of being an artist. I tutor in my home studio in Brackley, which is open from Monday to Saturday during the day and evenings. My teaching experience can easily adapt to individual learning styles, creating a creative and calm learning experience. There are no shortcuts when learning a new skill, but working methodically on the basics of a subject will build a technical foundation which can be developed. This foundation will promote confidence and a rewarding knowledge of a subject. Click to find out more about tutoring & prices: http://www.edithgracedesigns.com/tutoring.html ©Joanna Cox Marshall |
