***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…

Emma says
SEW ME! No idea, I’m a 1 for sure but would love to learn!
Leixe says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1, on the verge of a 1.2. I am dying to learn more about how to make my home amazing with a sewing machine!
Becca says
SEW ME! I’m a total novice, but would love to learn. When I daydream, there are usually pretty fabrics involved. :)
Allison says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 5 on a good day if I’m feeling patient.
Sara says
SEW ME! I’d guess I’m about a 3. I made myself a skirt in 8th grade!
Bevin says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 right now (and that’s being generous…) but have been wanting to learn how to sew for a while now! This sewing machine seems like the perfect place to start :)
Carrie Z says
SEW ME! I’m a three as well, though I made a sofa slipcover with dropcloths last summer…..scary!!
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’d rank myself at 5. I know how to sew but I keep my projects easy.
Véronique says
SEW ME!
I guess I am a 2, as I have in fact used a sewing machine once to make… a bag :)
Julianne says
SEW ME!
Sadly, I am a 1 (My boyfriend can sew better than me)
Robyn says
SEW ME!
I would say a 6 or 7 – but the more I sew, the more I realize how much more there is to it!
Gwen says
SEW ME!
I will boldly claim myself a four… I can make a bag-ish thing with only limited wonkiness ; )
Mandy says
SEW ME! I’d rate myself at 0.5. But I’m certain I could get myself up to at least a 3 if I had my very own machine to practice on.
Sue says
Sew me! The winner will be a lucky reader indeed.
Caroline says
SEW ME! I’m a 2. It’s hard to sew in a straight line!
karay says
SEW ME!
I am totally in the three range. I just learned how to sew mitered corners on cloth napkins, but definitely have not perfected it yet.
clare says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely around a 3 making wonky bags…
Ash says
SEW ME! I just wrote about my poor glue gun skills while doing a Pinterest project. So I will let you guess how much skill I might have with a sewing machine.
Thankful I know how to bake.
karen little says
Sew Me!! I would probably be around a 5 due to my years of making clothes for our kids when they were young and then making curtains and pillows for all the houses we moved to during our many transfers. My sewing machine is a year older than my daughter who is 38!
graduate.living says
SEW ME!
I took a class many moons ago, so I would go ahead and give myself a very generous 2 =)
Amanda says
SEW ME! I’d probably say I’m a 5. I’m working on a quilt right now actually :)
Endea says
Sew Me!! Does sewing on a button count…I can do that!
Christine says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m about a 6. I can make a simple item of clothing but shy away from anything complicated.
tonya says
sew me!
I’m a 2. My buttons don’t stay on and MAYBE I can sew a pillow if someone else sets up the machine for me.
Becky L says
sew me! A 4?
Coleen says
SEW ME! I would say I am negative 1.
Haven’t sewed anything since home-ec and my husband is the one that sews the buttons on in our house, but I so badly want to learn so I can make my daughter aprons and skirts and teach her how to sew also so I don’t have to say “Ask your Dad”.
Kate says
SEW ME!!! I consider myself a 3, threading the machine is the hardest part for me!!!
Liz says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2. I’ve made some pillow cases before under the supervision of my mama but now that I’m about to have a home of my own, I want to hone my domestic skillz & start sewing (especially ikat curtains!).
Lesley L says
SEW ME! A 1 but I would love to learn more!
Erin says
SEW ME!! I am definitely a solid 3. But I’m hoping to work my way up!
Krystin says
SEW ME!
Definite 1. I’m clueless but winning this
could change all that…I hope.
Jackie says
Sew me!
Id go with a 2 I have sewed a few things in my time, not necessarily in straight lines, but the effort was there. I can not thread a bobin, its a major sewing downfall.
amanda says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 4…
Taylor says
SEW ME! I’m a solid 5. I can follow patterns and envision how things should work spatially; but I could never make something of my own design and for sure am not able to o anything fancy.
ashk says
sew me!
I can’t sew to save my life, but it’s a secret ambition of mine. I’d love to be able to make my own clothes.
Gina says
SEW ME!!
2 or 3, probably!
Sue says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a four or five. I love to sew but I really don’t know what I’m doing.
Angie says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 3. I used to sew my doll clothes by hand when I was a kid and I have made pillows before, but have never even touched a sewing machine. Would love to start though!
Tiffany says
SEW ME!!!
I am most definitely in the negative! I really want to learn, though! I would love to sew some cute little clothes for our new little baby!
Kacey says
SEW ME!
I am a solid 2. Owning a sewing machine might help me improve my rating…
Cassy Meier says
SEW ME!!
Totally a 2-3. Sewed in home ec in junior high school but I have a bunch of project I’d love to do now that would be made a lot easier with a sewing machine :)
Gail says
SEW ME!
A one for sure..I have wanted to take a class and really learn how to sew..If l win, this is exactly what l will do..Thank you!
Rebecca wasch says
Sew me sew me sew me! I’m a three who wants to be a 10!
Robby says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, but have been hoping to dabble soon. Maybe make some comforters into duvet covers!
Betty says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m about a 4-5. I wish I had time to practice more!
Lisa in Seattle says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 but only because you didn’t start your scale at 0. However, the hubs is a decent sew-er and would benefit from this lovely machine!
Kyley says
SEW ME!
Oh I’m definitely a 1. I do try really hard though, but I feel like the machines I’ve used in the past are just so difficult to figure out. so the simpler it is the better!
linette says
Je suis 10 Je couds presque toutes les semaines pour le plaisir ! Voila longtemps que je lis votre blog avec beaucoup de plaisir. Bonne continuation. Je viens de France près de Paris. A +
Kirsten says
SEW ME!!! I am a pretty good sewerer. I’d probably rate myself a 7, meaning that I can tailor things, I can follow intermediate patterns, but I am sure no seamstress. I really want a fancy sewing machine that will sew patterns, like over a quilt, but anything would beat my basic singer that I have now.
Pam Lowe says
SEW ME!
I can make a wonky bag but taking lessons in January, I want to learn to make a quilt!
