BBC/Love Productions/Mark Bourdillon Last month, series 6 of the Great British Sewing Bee came to a spectacular close crowning amateur sewer Clare Bradley, 38, as its winner. The doctor from Winchester rose to the number one spot, impressing judges with precise pleats, an extravagantly winged (yes winged) carnival outfit in the transformation challenge and a classic evening dress, it's figure-hugging design threatening to reveal all errors - had there been any.
Hair Love won Best Animated Short at the Academy Awards this year and like the film itself, its victory brings tears to the eyes. If you've not had the chance to watch it yet, it's right there at the top of the article. Treat yourself!
