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 from across Sunderland and County Durham.
Did you embroider a masterpiece for the Queen or make great gifts for the hospital?
We have all this and more in our tribute to the sewing supremos of Sunderland.
