The Great British Sewing Bee is a BBC favourite but we want your memories of these sewing scenes nearer to home.
We have 10 reminders of sewing and embroidering – with a few knitting scenes thrown in too – from across the borough.
Did you have fun creating a safari scene or backing the Shoebox Appeal?
We have all this and more in our tribute to the sewing supremos of South Tyneside.
