***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’m probably a three. I don’t like patterns or things, I just figure things out as I go and make it work. Tim Gunn would be so proud. Or horrified. Either way…I can normally do what I want, but am not going to be opening up my own shop anytime soon. UNLESS I get this new machine!* (*Only maybe after some serious classes!)
Jen P says
SEW ME!!!
I’m about a 5 in dressmaking but need to learn to make curtains for my new house. And cushion covers. And slip covers…

I’d say my skills are about a 2. I’ve done a little sewing but I have sew much to learn lol!

I think I’m along the lines of Sherry at a 3. I’d love to get better and this machine would definitely help! Thanks!

SEW ME! When I was living with my parents I was probably a 3 or 4, but not having a sewing machine now I’ve dropped to a 2.
Stephanie L says
Sew me! I csn embroider, but I can’t do anything useful with a needle.

orly says
sew me! i’m a 1, but i’d love learn more.
Amy says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5 if I have a pattern, 3 if I don’t. I learned on my mom’s machine, but I don’t have one, so I need this!
Cassie says
Sew Me! I’m a 1; I sew but have not had any instruction and I have had mixed results. I love the idea of an automatic threader!
Nancy says
SEW ME1
Jessica says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 0. Wouldn’t even know how to thread it!

SEW ME! I am a zero if that exists! But I think I could make it to at least a 3 if I win! :)
Vanessa says
Sew me! I’m a 2, in that I’ve touched a needle and thread before, and have crafted a few felt mobiles using those supplies. I’d love to get a chance to learn to use a sewing machine, though!
Leslie Ennis says
SEW ME!
I’ve sewn a few things but VERY simple things – would love to take a class and learn all the basics.
Ryan says
Sew Me!
I don’t sew, but my wife does. Kind of. Sort of.
Lanelle says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 6. I sewed constantly years ago but life has intervened and I’ve only just started sewing again after all these years. I can match plaids on a pleated skirt, but no making my own patterns!
Krystal says
SEW ME!! I am definitely just a 1, although I am really interested in learning :)
Cassie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3, MAYBE a 4. Depends on what the project is ;)

A 3 or a 4? I currently sew on my husband’s late grandmother’s machine that she made her children clothes with!
Allison Sheardy says
SEW ME! I’m a three…on a day when I can actually get my antique machine to work properly. This contest is so timely, considering I spent three hours struggling with the thing yesterday, only to end up sewing the whole project by hand.
SaRaH L says
SEW ME!!!!!
I’m a 2. I made burp cloths and such for my little one, but that’s as far as I go….a rectangle :)
abby r says
Sew me! I am a 1 but I would love to get better and this would be the perfect way!
Anna says
Sew me! I would say I’m a seven. Been sewing for years, but I’m far from perfect.
Jenn R. says
SEW ME!!!
Is there a minus 1? Since I have started following your blog (I found it after searching ” no sew curtains”) I have actually started thinking I really need to get a machine and learn some simple things. I have even starched sewing lessons in the area. Of note I am a Emergency RN. I could sew your leg back on if it should become detached, but sew a button NOPE ! So please SEW ME!
Laura says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1, but I really want to learn.
Faith says
Sew me!!! I’d rank myself around a 7. I sew a lot of clothing for myself & my children. I also do some quilting & crafting (mainly doll clothes & dress-up).
Gail says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. Always wanted to learn! The vocabulary makes my brain shut down! (selvage what??)
Alicia says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3-4. The biggest hurdle is that my machine is terrible, and I get so frustrated even before I can even begin the project!
carol says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2-3 but would love to work up to a comfortable 8 to decorate the house, make crafts and maybe venture into clothing.
Elise says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 7, as long as I have a tutorial or pattern to follow! My machine is currently on the fritz so I would love to win :)
Angela H says
Sew Me!
I’d say I’m a 5, right in the middle. I just finished sewing a hooded bathtowel for my niece for christmas. It turned out well!
Melissa says
Sew me!
Maybe 5-6. I’m afraid my skills are more decorative than actually useful also the temperamental tension settings on my machine have been known to cause fits.
Tarah says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1 when it comes to a machine. Probably a 1 when I’m hand-sewing also, since the last time I tried to mend something on one of my daughter’s outfits it fell apart by the end of the day!
shellilee says
SEW ME! I’d say a 3:)
echo says
SEW ME! probably a 2, but I would love to be a solid 8.
Erin B. says
SEW ME!
I’m totally sewing challenged! But….this would be a great way to learn how.
Andrea B says
Sew Me!! Is it possible to be on the negative side?? If I tried sewing myself out of a bag I’m pretty sure I’d probably trap myself further in it. I’ve been dying to learn though!!!
Stacy Whittum says
SEW ME!!!!! I would say I am a good .91333333333333!!!
mia says
Sew me!
Probably a 5. Have made a skirt and dress before
Stephanie Horn says
SEW ME! …I’m a complete sewing n00b. But that’s okay. I just bought myself the little IKEA sewing machine to learn on… but having a singer would be legit!
Jen says
SEW ME!
If say 6-7. I’ve made plenty of curtains, pillows, quilts and Halloween costumes, and even one or two garments I’ve actually worn out in he world. I’ve even done a zipper or two.

Alli says
SEW ME! I am machineless!
Chitra Allen says
SEW ME! I don’t wish to sound unseamly – but my sewing skills came unstitched years ago. I don’t rank. The Singer One looks sew cute! Please let it be mine :)
Sara says
Sew Me! I”ll say a 3…but I bet this machine would turn me into a 9!!
Megan says
SEW ME! I would love to do my own sewing. I’m probably a two, thanks to my mom, but I don’t have my own to practice.
Sarah B says
SEW ME!
I am about a 5. I have a huge pile of stuff I need to sew and am tired of borrowing my sister’s.
