***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…

Ileana says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, but now that my kids are older, I would love to sew dress up clothes for them!
Bronwyn Rapp says
SEW ME! I’d rank myself a 1.
Christina M says
SEW ME! I’m probable around a 3, too. I made some stuff in home ec using patterns and everything but don’t have a sewing machine so it’s been awhile
Kari says
Sew me! I’m probs a 4. I could sew my way out of a bag but the end product would look “homemade” as my husband lovingly puts it.
Tara says
SEW ME!
I would say that I am around a 5? I can follow a pattern – mostly – and can make things that I wouldn’t be totally embarrassed for my kids to be seen in, but they won’t be appearing on The Sartorialist anytime son, ha!
Alexis says
SEW ME!
A solid 1.5 I am not skilled in the least, but damn it if Pinterest doesn’t make me want to try!
Katy R says
SEW ME!
I’d say a three!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m probably a 3 :)
Amber says
Sew me! I would have to say I am probably around a 3. My machine is my grandmothers old one so it is 35 years old, so I could certainly use a new one!
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 2. I can follow a pattern, but the finished product always comes out looking a little sad. I would love to have this fancy new machine to (hopefully) improve my skills!
Stephanie says
Sew me! I will say a three but with this machine I think I could up it to 4.5!!
Natalie says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 3 with hand sewing but a 0 for machine sewing. However, I would love my own sewing machine so that, once I learn how to use it, I can make blankets, beds, and toys to donate to my local animal shelters. Thank you!
Chelsea O. says
SEW ME!!! I’m about a 2, just inherited my Grandma’s Singer machine from the 40s (still works)!!
Laura says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 7 or 8; I’ve made some garments, quilts, etc., with my gma’s 1983 Kenmore. I would LOVE to upgrade! :)
Abigail says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m maybe around a 3 as well. I just need a bit more practice (that the machine could provide!).
Kate says
I’m definitely a 1, but I really, really want to learn! SEW ME!
Mel says
Sew Me! I’m probably a 4. I have made 3-4 whole outfits and lots of pillows and curtains, which are much easier. I’m hoping to get a dress form soon, though, so that I can make more (and better) clothing!
Miranda L says
sew me!!
hmm can I go -1? actually maybe I can be a 1 when I actually can get a hand of this! :)
Margaret H says
SEW ME!
Can I qualify as a zero? Sewing is definitely something that intrigues me, but is also very overwhelming to a person that doesn’t even know how to thread a needle!
Shevon says
SEW ME!
I am a 3++ sewer. A 3 because I’ve never taken a class, but a ++ because somehow I manage to do okay. I’d be ashamed if anyone actual looked at the sewing, but if it looks okay and doesn’t fall apart, it’s fine with me.
Brenda says
Sew Me! (if i do win, this would be the best holiday gift ever!!)
i have minor sewing skills thanks to my theatre studies in undergrad. I can make curtains and simple bags. But add a collar to anything and i’m lost!
jenny g says
SEW ME!
i would say 3.14…i could sew a mean pillow in home ec/6th grade. but i need some refreshing
Anna says
Sew me! Maybe a 5? Making my first ever quilt!
Veronica says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2. I can sew the bare basics here, people. It’s actually pretty sad.
Denise says
SEW ME
Rachael Bourque says
SEW ME!! Sew what????
I’ve had grand aspirations of being a great seamstress, but alas, have no sewing machine to help me on my way!
michele double you says
SEW ME!
Hm. I’m a solid 3–a 4 on a stellar day. No stretchy material. Ev.er. Need anything in the shape of a square? I might just be your girl.
Again, on a stellar day. I really think having the right tool for the job is key to my success. ;)
Nicola says
SEW ME!!
Maybe a 2 or a 3? I can just about do it but it isn’t pretty. My first (and last) sewing machine ended up on fire! Hoping it was a one off :)
Anne @ Healthy Does It says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m about a 1 and I have always wanted to learn to sew!
Mary says
SEW ME! I’m a one on the sewing machine scale… But i can hand sew a hem if thats anything!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 3. I can run up metres of bunting like a champion, but anything requiring a proper pattern eludes me.
Marilyn Hawk says
“SEW ME” Maybe a 4 or 5, I can sew pillows, pajama pants and quilt blocks, I just wish I had a little more time.
Kirsten says
SEW ME!
I’ll give myself a happy 4. I do okay, just don’t look up close :)
Aspen says
SEW ME!!
I used to know how to sew…and I have a bunch of projects I’ve been saving for when I get a machine, but haven’t gotten around to getting one yet. This would be awesome!
Mary says
SEW ME!
I’m like a .5. I used to be able to sew a straight line, but it’s been awhile since I’ve tried. And now I can’t even get my old (OLD) sewing machine to stay !?%^$#* threaded. Not that I find it at all frustrating… :-) Easiest to use sounds pretty darn good to me!
Casie says
Sew me!!! About a 3. Would love to learn more!
Rebecca L. says
Sew me!
Jennifer says
SEW ME!!!! In my mind I am a sewing rock star. In reality, I have only practiced on a finicky vintage machine that kinks up every time I sit to use it. Oh please, Oh please, SEW ME!! :)
Jennifer
Denise says
SEW ME
I’m about a 3 but hope to improve my skills :)
Carrie says
Sew me!
Michelle says
SEW ME!
I guess I would have to rate myself as a 3 – I can manage lots of easy projects, but need to actually learn from someone who knows what they are doing!
Molly says
SEW ME! I’m a 2. Haven’t threaded a bobbin in a hot minute. It’s just like riding a bike right??
Jennifer says
SEW ME!!
I am for sure about a zero, but have always wanted to learn!!
Andrea says
SEW ME!
Between a 1 and a 2….I have done some sewing but a straight line is pretty much it. I am dying to learn and this would be the perfect start!
Marjie says
I would give my skills a 4, I think. Slipcovers. curtains and handbags yes; tailored grownup clothing not so much:)
Karen says
SEW ME! I’d say a 9. I’ve been sewing since I was 13, but there’s always something new to learn.
Monika says
Definitely one-ish but hoping to be 10-ish with this machine (robot?). Sew me!
Amber Bowersox says
Sew Me!
I am probably a 4? I can sew small things and would love to make more dresses and tutus for my girly girl.
Sarah says
Sew me! I’m definitely around a 5 but trying to improve :-)
Megan @ Two Live Colorfully says
SEW ME!
I’m a super beginner at sewing but one of the things on my life list is to design, sew, and wear a garment of my own creation… this would certainly help! :D
