***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***
After clocking 10,000 entries under 24 hours, we’re already back to crown a random winner of the SINGER One sewing machine. The lucky person is… Angela (who says she’s a 1 on the sewing skills scale: “I can sew a straight line, but only if someone threads the machine for me first”). Congrats!
I’ve never touched a sewing machine in my life, but I’ve heard Sherry’s passionate muttering from the next room while using hers. Which is why anything labeled “Our easiest to use machine!” sounds compelling. And we’re so (sew?) excited that Singer is helping us give away a SINGER One – a feature-packed sewing machine that retails for nearly $500 – to one lucky reader! Something about an Automatic Needle Threader and OneTouch stitch selection sounds “approachable.” Plus the 24-available stitch patterns makes me believe you could fake your way into some pretty fancy stuff. Oh, and did we mention that Singer will ship this puppy anywhere in the world?
- PRIZE: A SINGER One sewing machine (a $499 value!)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SEW ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …where do you rank yourself on the sewing skills continuum? Are you a 1 like me (I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag)? A self-proclaimed 3 like Sherry (who could probably make “a wonky bag”)? Or are you more like a 10 (who could not only sew a bag from scratch, but do so blindfolded)?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide (we always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US – more on that here).
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

meganleiann says
SEW ME! I am probably a comfortable 5. I’ve sewn basic shirts, curtains and pillow covers.
Emily D says
SEW ME! My sewing machine just broke and my husband has torn it apart….horrible move, I know! I would rank myself a 7/10.
Casey says
SEW ME!I have never really used one,but I am excited to learn how!
Kelly H says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 4, took sewing in college, fashion major…but clearly that was a while back!
Ji Hae Jun says
SEW ME!
for being an unfortunate 1. :(
Hello guys~ I love browsing through your site everyday!! Although I have admitted I would probably sew my finger onto the fabrics of whatever I’m trying to sew. I believe I know someone who would love this machine.. my MOTHER~ :D
Happy Holidays from Illinois~~
– Jessica
Brandy says
SEW ME!!!! My mom makes sewing look so easy. I would like to be like her one day
Katie @ Shared Bites says
SEW ME! I’m a 1. For sure. Wait, maybe a 2 is fair – I made a pillowcase in 7th grade Home & Careers class.
Rachel says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a solid 2. I can sew a straight line, but that’s about it. I have an old machine my mother-in-law gave me that I play with, but honestly, it’s a tough go. I could use “approachable” :-)
Liza says
SEW ME!
I rate myself: double zero (we can’t go negative, right?). I try to fake my way around anything that may involve sewing (Heat ‘n Bond anyone?). It’s about time I face this puppy head on and learn to sew on this fantabulous sewing machine!
jodie says
Sew me!
Jessica Stewart says
SEW ME! I would rank myself a 2 in the sewing category, I’ve sewn a few things with my Grandma, but I want to learn more. This sewing machine would really help me get started. :)
Liz says
SEW ME! I am probably a 4 or 5. I know how to follow a pattern and have made a few clothes items.
KristenP says
Sew me! I’m a “one” but I’d love to learn.
Shary says
SEW ME! I’d rate myself a 6-7 on the sewing spectrum. I recently made an apron which involved a new detail for me. And I’m making a shower curtain for my mom for Christmas. I would LOVE a self threading machine!
Sara C says
SEW ME!!! I would consider myself a 7. I’ve just taken on a huge sewing project for a friend and would LOVE to get it done on this beautiful machine!
Grace says
“SEW ME!”
Like Sherry, I’m a 3 or 4. I can do the basics but anything more complicated and it probably would not be useable.
Molly says
Sew Me!!! I would rank myself a 5, I made a dress for my daughter with a little help!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I am an aspirational sew-er, a girl with crafty inclinations that often fail to materialize. I sew with my hand, because it seems easier than the machine, yet finishing a project seems an untenable task! With the Singer Machine I could sew my little heart out, as I prepare for my upcoming wedding! I would use this machine to make lots of gifts, while also whipping up some lovely things for my sweet little bungalow in Durham NC. I study hard as a grad student and could really use a handy task to unwind! I hope I win – Happy Holidays!
Theresa W says
SEW ME!
I have just started sewing, and my BFF is nice enough to let me use her machine to make pillows and curtains. But I love would love to have my own! Thanks for the chance :)
Susan says
“SEW ME!” – I am probably a 5-6 sewer. Been using the same machine since 1982! Taught myself to sew and just have a great time. Wish I had a NEW SINGER to help me though!
Shannon says
Sew me!! I’m a 2 1/2, but if I have some help I can do better:)
Jen W says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 5 on the sewing continuum, but think it’s holding me back a little on the DIY home decor and christmas gifts. Would love to give this a whirl!
Emily says
“SEW ME!”
On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d consider myself a two. As long as someone threads the machine and stands beside me to correct any mishaps, I can rock a straight line. But don’t ask me to do much more than that!
Heather Buescher says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m a 5.5 – still shooting for that 10 :).
Kat says
Sew me! I’m a 5, or so. In my head I’m a 10, but the reality is I’m closer to a 5.
Melissa C says
SEW ME!
jodie says
I can make a wonky bag :)
Liana says
SEW ME! Jeez, I’m a -2. I can crochet an awesome blanket, but forget about anything else!
Sarah says
SEW ME!!!
Oh, I am the beginning-est of beginners, but I would LOVE to hone my skills on this machine!!!
Jas says
Sew me! I’m probably a three or four, having helped my mom with some curtain projects (pre-YHL and non-sew hemming!)
Susan Calzada says
SEW ME! I’m a solid 5, but I bet I could be a lot better with a machine like that!
Michelle says
Sew me!
I am definitely a 3, I can make a pretty decent pillow but that is about it!
Jilli Victorio says
SEW ME!
To be honest, I’m ranked at a ‘1’ when it comes to sewing, and have made it a goal or resolution to learn to sew in 2013! I have curtains hanging that are too long and too wide that I would love to cut and hem someday.
Thanks!
Jilli
Meagan says
See me!! I’m maybe a 4?
Amber says
SEW ME! I have sewn a total of two successful pillowcases and three wedding garters. But I’d like to make my way up to curtains, clothes, and bags. Think I can learn it all before the holidays, for some handmade gift-giving?
Beth D. says
Sew Me! I’m probably a 5. I can sew a lot but very little turns out perfect! At least now I can finally sew in a straight line. I’d love the automatic needle threader…pretty jealous about that feature!
Kathy says
I am a 2…hand sewing only. Too cheap to buy a machine but would love to win one!!!!
Carolyn says
SEW ME! I”m with Sherry–a solid 3
Karalee Tuck says
Sew Me! I would love to win this prize! I consider myself to be a 3 on the sew scale. I still have a lot to learn.
Jen says
SEW ME!!!
I would say I’m a 1. Definitely a 1.
Ruth T. says
SEW ME! I wish I were a 10 like my mother-in-law, but I’m more of a 2 and just beginning.
michelle says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag so maybe this will help me :)
Bri says
SEW ME! I would guess I’m a 5 or 6, my mom taught me the basics and I’ve picked up the rest along the way!
marie says
Sew me a new wardrobe!
I desperately need new clothes after having had a baby. Not that I have changed shape, but those old clothes are just not practical for my new Mom job.
I already have a sewing machine from the 70s, but could really use all those new gadgets.
I think I am like a 6 or 7 in sewing skills. But it is not that easy to sew with a little one nearby. I am currently making this top (http://megannielsen.com/collections/sewing-patterns/products/banksia-top-sewing-pattern) in a fun polkadot, as well as this bag (http://www.frolic-blog.com/frolic/2012/09/frolic-hetterson-make-a-scalloped-bag.html) for my Mom for Christmas.
I love reading your blog, it is so inspiring to see all that you manage to accomplish. Sometimes, you even motivate me to actually do something for our appartment ;-)
Tara says
SEW ME!
I’m a 5 on a good day. I have a sewing machine, but it should be called an eating machine… all it does is eat up my material, so it needs to be replaced ASAP!
Jill says
“SEW ME” I am about a 3. Maybe a wonky bag or re-hem of a pant. Nothing major yo.
Jill
Mehgan says
SEW ME!
Thanks for such great giveaways! I am probably also around a 3 or 4, I love to sew but don’t know all the different tricks (like using the different feet or changing the tension). I am a great straight-line sew-er! :)
Morgan R says
Would love to win! I’m maybe a 2 or 3 on the sewing scale! I used my mom’s machine to sew custom aprons one year – so a machine of my own would be great!
christina M says
SEW ME!!! I would consider myself a 3…but I go years in between sewing projects…so I sort of start all over again each time. :) I would love this to teach my girls on!!
