***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…

Molly says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a four – I’ve made happily serviceable cushions and I can cut out to a pattern… but without a machine I can’t learn any more :)
Tanya says
Sew me..my mom is a 12/10 sewer, but unfortunately I am a 3….would love to have a machine to practice with.
Jamie says
SEW ME!
I think I’d rate myself a 5 or 6. I have some skills and can make some cool stuff, but I have a lot to learn!
Amy Hoogstad says
SEW ME!
I am a self-proclaimed 3, maybe a 4 since I’ve made my daughters a few outfits. Still lots to learn, though:) Thanks for the chance!
Dana says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1. I have lots to learn!
Talley says
SEW ME! I would probably rate myself around a 4. I can sew on a button, and hem my pants. Making some blinds doesn’t seem like it would be beyond my skill level either. Hook me up with a nice new Singer and we’ll see….
Thanks!
Jennifer S says
SEW ME!
1, but I want to take lessons!
Nicki says
Sew Me! I would say I’m a 3 too. If it needs mending or making, I can do it, but the lines won’t be even or straight.
Carolyn says
SEW ME!! I’m a 0…I’ve always wanted to learn to sew, and my mom had a very old machine (one of those that was a piece of furniture), but she disliked sewing and had three other kids to care for so I never learned. Sad face. But I’ve always wanted to make my own napkins and pillow covers and on and on!
Pip says
Sew me!
Is there a -10 on the scale? – sewing machines need a service after I’ve tried to make a pillowcase (sorry mum for that incident in 1998 :(
Susie says
Sew me!
I’m about a 2, but my grandmother wants to pass on her 10 skills to me!
Michelle says
SEW ME!!!
I am a 1. Or a 0. I’d love to win this machine so I can get better at making things for the house and clothes for my daughter. Anything to help the budget!
Larita says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a 3? It’s been a few years since I sewed.
Kelsey says
SEW ME! My mom is teaching me to sew for Christmas and I am beyond excited!
Darcie says
Sew me!
I’m probably a solid 2 on the how well I sew scale. I took home economics back in 1994 – I made a rockin vest with sunflowers on it (I know you’re jealous!).
Now that I have a little munchkin I really want to learn again so I can make cute stuff for her!
Yenny says
SEW ME!! i would rank myself a solid 7 that’s working up to an 8. my mom makes tuxedos for a living so she taught me everything she knows :)
Kara says
Sew me!!
I’d have to say I’m maybe a 3, 2 1/2, maybe?? But I would love to be more around an 8 or so!
Grace says
SEW ME!!
I currently score a big old 2, but I want to learn!
Daniela H. says
SEW ME! Around a -10. My mom was a seamstress and worked in factories since she was 13 but she never taught us 3 girls how to sew. Said she saw too many horrors. This sounds good for an old time starter like me. Thanks!
Emily says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m right around a three, I could make a pretty good pillow if I had to.
Claire says
Sew me! I’m a solid one, but I’d love to be able to sew some useful things to give away as gifts and birthdays!
Sarah says
SEW ME! I would probably rate myself a 4…I grew up learning to sew, so I can hold my own on simple projects, and would LOVE a sewing machine to call my own!
Katie says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m 6 or 7. I’ve been obsessed with sewing and making clothes since the 8th grade (so, 15 years or so?), but I have a lot still to learn! I got my first sewing machine when I was 16. Its a tad old (though it still runs great!) But I certainly would love an upgrade! :)
Maria I. says
SEW ME !! I’d say I’m a 5, I can sew, but need to carefully follow a plan !
Courtney M says
Sew me! Prob a 6. I’ve sewn a couple of curtains in my day.
Arli says
How about -1? I’ve actually asked Santa for a sewing machine this year, so winning this would free “him” up for gifting me with some lessons and fabric!!!
Molly Davis says
Definitely a ONE… but hoping to improve!! Would love to win this lovely sewing machine!!
audrey says
SEW ME!
Stacy Adamission says
Sew me!! I’m a 0.5 but would love to learn!!
Emily says
SEW ME!
I’m in the 2-4 range… I’ve made a few things successfully, but managed to lose the pedal/plug when I moved 2 years ago, so I’m pretty rusty!
Ramie says
Sew Me! I’m a 2… A 2 because of my 7/8th grade home economics class.
Patty says
Sew Me!
I probably fit in the 3 category. I am a jack of all trades, and a master of none, and this def includes sewing :)
Severine says
SEW ME!
I’d rank myself as a 6 on average, sometimes more like 4, once up to 8!
Thanks Singer and YSL for your generosity.
Rachel M. says
Sew me!
dm says
sew me!
Molly Davis says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a ONE… but hoping to improve!! Would love to win this lovely sewing machine!!
Beth says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2. I only know how to hem my pants, but I have been wanting to get more into sewing lately. :)
Kevin says
Sew me. I’m totally a zero.
Jules says
sew me! um, i worked in the costume shop in college,but 4way stretch lycra is the bane of my existence. so…a 7
Lindsey F says
Sew Me!!!!
I am around a 5 – I need to stop using my mom’s old machine!
Lindsay says
Sew me! I’m a pretty good at sewing. In high school I wears in charge of costumes for all of the plays. I even sewed an entire period dress for one show. Now I use my skills for the odd button. I have seamstress I trust immensely to handle my alterations.
Kacy says
Sew me!
I’m about a 2….I can wing something simple when I need to. I just won’t show my grandma who is an incredible seamstress and will notice all my uneven lines. :)
Hollis says
SEW ME!
I’m nearly a 0 on the continuum. I started many sewing machine projects when I was younger on my mom’s sewing machine, but then invariably caused a major machine malfunction and dropped the whole project.
Laura says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 3.
Hlsst7 says
SEW ME BayBee! I love to sew. I would rank myself a “9” because I hate hemming!
Jackie says
SEW ME! I’m a sad “2” but I would love a new machine. I still use mine for house projects.
Mary says
Sew me! I would probably be a 2.5 on the scale…
Nicole S. says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 7. Pretty talented but not as amazing as my mother. I’d give this machine to a friend that needs it!
Maria Z says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1.
Jenn V. says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3 like Sherry! I’m learning!
