Heather Jacks has won The Great British Sewing Bee.
The amateur sewer beat Chinelo Bally and Tamara Melvin to be crowned the winner of the BBC Two show.
The finalists had been tasked with making a silk men's tie, creating a child's dress from a wedding dress in the alteration challenge and finally a glamorous show-stopping dress in the final of the reality show, which is presented by Claudia Winkleman.
