***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…

SEW ME!
I am a 2. I dont have a machine or I’d self teach myself up to a 3 or so…I once made my daughter’s entire sea horse costume using only stitch witchery and hot glue. It was a hot mess.
Linda says
sew me! I’m probably an 8… I’m great at hemming clothes, making curtains and pillows but I have yet to try something really complicated
Lauren says
SEW ME!!!
I’d say I’m a 6, very capable of making decorative stuff but I can follow patterns pretty well. As long as it doesn’t get too crazy.
Stefanie says
Sew me!
On the scale… I’m not even on the scale. I’m like negative 5. Which is why I need such an awesome machine to help me out.
Paola says
Sew Me!
I am most definitely a 1, however now that we own our house, there are so many things I would like to do!
Kimberly says
SEW ME!
I would consider myself a five, even though I’ve made some fancy things in the past (with a pattern, and lots of cursing trying to figure out the pattern, and even more cursing of my oh-so-basic machine). I have sewn a Strawberry Shortcake Halloween costume, and even a fancy satin 50’s style party gown (with a gathered skirt and halter top!). I do avoid anything that calls for a zipper (hence, going for a 50’s style dress–all pearl buttons, baby!) because my current machine is so basic, it didn’t come with a zipper foot, and it’s so old they don’t make the parts and accessories for it anymore!
Miriam says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 6- I have a lot of skills from doing piecework in a costume shop but have not made many garments from start to finish. A fancy machine would certainly motivate me to try it!
Betsy Payne says
SEW ME! My mom always sewed our clothes, curtains etc growing up and I would love to learn and start making some small things for our baby due in May!
Mary Lynch says
Sew me!!! I would love this machine! I’m with Sherry…probably at a 3. The bobbin gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME! :)
Deborah says
Sew Me!
I would rate myself as a 6. I can follow a great tutorial or pattern, but have a ton more to learn!
Lauren says
SEW ME!
I’d like to say 1.5, but that may be a stretch :)
Lisa Kajihara says
SEW ME!!! I can’t wait to get back to sewing! I bought a sewing machine in college for $300. That was super expensive for a college student. I’d say I’m a 4 but with some practice could easily get up to a 7.
Wehaf says
SEW ME! I’m about a six, I’d say! I’m gradually working my way up the scale…
Courtney says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1. But thats why I need to practice and learn how to sew rather than paying others to do it for me!
Ida says
SEW ME!! I’d say I’m about a 3.
Gail says
SEW ME!!! I’m a very good seamstress, but there’s always something to learn. So, maybe an 8?
Maura McCurdy says
SEW ME! I am not even as good as a 1 but my daughter is dying to learn to sew so I am hoping this will help!
Emily K says
SEW ME!! My sewing skills are definitely a 1.5 – I can sew on a button or do a small project by hand, but I would love to {finally} own my own machine and learn some real sewing skills! With baby #1 arriving in March, I have a few projects I’d love to try before s/he arrives! :) Thanks!!
Maggie says
SEW ME.
2? 3 maybe…but I want to learn :)
Michelle says
Sew Me!
I love doing little sewing projects and would really like to continue to learn how to do more things!
Kelly says
SEW ME… I’m about a 3. Good enough to think I know what I’m doing. Bad enough to break a lot of needles.
CC says
Sew me! I’m a 3, but I’m sure I could reach 10 if only I had a fabulous new sewing machine!
Cassie J says
Sew me!! I would say I am around a 3. On a good day I could be a 5, but that is a rarity.
suzanne says
SEW ME! I’d say somewhere around a 5 or 6, can make a basic pattern but have not tackled anything too difficult yet.
Brittany says
SEW ME!
In the past I’ve been completely CURSED when it comes to sewing machines – it’s like they speak an entirely different language! A ‘simple’ one sounds too good to be true! But I’d love to use one… it would one-up all my iron on hems ;)
Jean S. says
Sew me! I would say at least a 3. Straight lines are my thing :-)
B says
SEW ME! I’d say a 7.5. This would be a dream come true!
sandra says
SEW ME…a 1…but I have really been wanting to learn! I have a pretty intense desire to create some pillow covers!
L says
SEW ME…I’d give myself a 3. I could make a wonky bag pal for Sherry’s!
Riki says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 6. I once made a dress for a wedding (most stressful thing ever, not recommended) but I’m not sure I would call it a “good” dress. I’m not afraid of sewing projects at all.
Megan says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4 or 5…as long as I have very clear directions.
meggan colombo says
SEW ME – I used to sew simple stuff with my mom like skirts, etc and doll cloths. definitely rusty but would love something simple to do little hems or rips or curtains here or there
Mary says
SEW ME! Probably a 7?
Amber says
SEW ME!! I think I am going to give myself a 5. I make have made 7 baby quilts, some curtains, and other stuff that only involves sewing straight lines. ;)
Samantha says
I would rank myself a two on the sewing scale but, maybe a machine would help me channel my old high school textile class taking self. Then hand crafting quilts and curtains would be SEW ME!
Hillary says
SEW ME! I am definitely a 1. I want to improve though!
Melanie says
SEW ME!
I have never used a sewing machine but would LOVE to learn!
Cathey says
SEW ME!! I’d say I’m about a 3 or 4.. I think I just pretend to know what I’m doing enough to make stuff work out alright..
Kelly says
SEW ME!!
I’m definitely a 1 but I have a passion to learn! I am in awe of those who are handy with a sewing machine.
Nicole @ Liberty Belles says
SEW ME! 1 for sure. Haven’t done much since I don’t own a machine, but just started some classes at a local shop. This would rock!
Wendy says
” SEW ME”
I think I would be a 5 or 6! I would love to have something as fancy as this!
Christy Batterson says
SEW ME: I’m about a 6, mostly quilts, home decorating, hems, and crafts. Haven’t tried to make clothes too much however I did make my daughter an outfit when she was little. This would be really great to give to my daughter because she is learning how to quilt right now. We are lucky to have a long legacy of quilters in our family……
Kelli says
SEW ME!
I will be brave and say a 3.
Nancy says
SEW ME!! I would have to read the directions from top to bottom!!! I can hand sew buttons.. that is the extent of my sewing skills!
Jenny Carson says
SEW ME!
A 5.. I can use a sewing machine, but have a lot to learn.
busylizzy111 says
SEW ME
– I am the worst sewer in history and I want to learn!
Christina B says
SEW ME! Probably a 0, but with this, I could ‘sew’ be like a 3 :)
Lauramy says
SEW ME!
I’m in Canada and it seems like I never get to enter contests! I’m probably a 4 on the continuum – I’ve made curtains and re-sized a few shirts, but I’m using my beloved Gramma’s sewing machine from the 60s that starts the instruction manual with “Dear Homemaker”. I’d love a fancy new machine to flex my sewing muscles!
Michelle S. says
SEW ME!
2!!! But I would LOVE to have a sewing machine to practice on. :)
Carolina says
Sew me!
I’d like think I’m a 2!
