***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…

Emily says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3. I actually got a small sewing machine to start learning on a while ago but it broke before I could make anything impressive!
Katie says
Sew Me!! As far as my skills, sewing is not one of them (although I wish) so/sew a one!
Heather L. says
Sew Me! I’m a beginner, but would love to do more sewing projects after I just finished sewing new drapes for my family room.
fulori says
SEW ME!
Um, maybe a 4. I had mad skills in High School. But it’s been a couple (cough) years….
Aline says
Sew me! I’m a 0. Never used a sewing machine in my life, but always wanted one to learn.
Natalie R. says
SEW ME!! I haven’t attempted to sew since home ec. 10 years ago so I’m probably a 0 maybe a 1. I’d love to learn though!!
Carrie says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 0, but I’m scheduled to begin lessons this Saturday. So this machine would be a gift from the sewing gods!
Tricia says
sew me! i’m a total beginner
ChristyfromCanada says
I am probably like a two- I can sew a straight line, but it will take awhile. Would LOVE to make pillow covers, drapes and hem my own pants with this lil guy.
Becca says
Sew me! I’d say I’m a five. I can see alright but certainly not blindfolded!
Tannis says
SEW ME!!
I’m about a 5. I can sew a heck of a straight line and actually successfully made a quilted stocking so far this season. :]
Christina S says
SEW ME! I’ve seen a little here and there, so maybe I’m a 4.5! But with this little baby, I’m sure my skills will be a 10+! Thanks!
Rachel says
SEW ME! I’m terrible, less than a 1.
Kelly says
SEW ME! In 8th grade life skills, I was probably a 3; now 12 years later, I’m back to a 0! My mom’s an amazing sewer though, so I’d love to learn!
Debi Garcia says
SEW ME
Maybe an 8. I can make things from scratch, but not blindfolded!
Dawn says
SEW ME!
I took Home Ec in middle school. I was so lousy at the sewing projects. I really wish I had put in more effort, though, because I would love to make my own curtains, pillows, and table cloths!
Amanda Peressin says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 4.
Can make a dress but it never fits quite right and them hem is never even…
Rebecca says
SEW ME!
I’m around a 2 or so – but I’d love to get better!
Lindsay says
SEW ME! Sadly, I am a 1, but I am eager to learn!
Linda says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2. I’ve touched a machine before – like when I was 9. So that’s got to be enough experience to put me a notch above a 1, right?
Lara says
SEW ME!
I can sew okay. My seams are rarely straight, but I have actually sewn clothing that was worn out of the house, so I guess maybe a 7-8? I’d love a new machine! Mine broke sewing a Christmas gift last year and I haven’t had it fixed yet!
Sarah Merrill says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 3-3 1/2. :) I can sew a straight line like a pro. :) ha ha! I would love this!!! :)
Julia says
SEW ME! I’m a 5-6… or an aspiring 8.
Danielle E says
Sew me! I would say I’m a 2, but would love to become a 10!!
Elizabeth says
SEW ME! I’m probably between a 5 and 6. I can sew things that have straight lines (pillow cases, etc) with no problem. I don’t know how to do anything facny–buttonholes are beyond me! I sew with my laptop nearby so Google can help me :-)
Stacy says
Sew me! I think I’m a solid five. I’ve made a lot of bags and housewares and I’d like to expand my repertoire to include baby clothes!
Marissa says
SEW ME! I’m pretty good at sewing by hand- I made a small (but nowhere near perfect) quilt a few years back, but can’t function around a sewing machine at all!
Jo-Ann says
SEW ME! Formerly a 7, but probably down to a 6 or 5 since my machine broke down way back when, and I just haven’t sprung for a new one!
Laura says
Sew me! I’m prob a 4. I can’t follow patterns very well but have bs-ed my way though quite a few simple projects.
Jen says
SEW ME!
I’d put myself at a 4…
Marjie says
SEW ME! Oops, forgot! Too excited about the prize, I guess.
Robin R says
“SEW ME!” I rank myself as middle of the road. I can follow a pattern, adjust as needed, and make my own patterns. Sewing a straight line is another thing altogether though.
Angela Kintner says
SEW ME!!!
I am a ‘2’ but would like to be a 5! This machine would definitely inspire me to do a lot of ‘pins’ that I’ve wanted to tackle on Pinterest.
karen says
“SEW ME!” I am a 6. I sew curtains, pillows, stuff like that. I love looking at the fabrics at the fabric store.
Liz says
Sew me! I’ve never done any sewing projects before, but have been inspired by your blog and think I may give a try to some basic curtains :)
Stefani says
SEW ME!
Sadly, I rank at a 1. But would love to expand my skills!
Shawna says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1, much to my mother’s dismay. She is a very talented quilter and it drives her crazy that I haven’t really shown any interest yet. I have been thinking about some sewing projects – I’m at least going in the right direction! This would help :)
Ursula says
SEW ME! I’m possibly a 6, I’m totally crazy about sewing! Ursula
Janelle says
SEW ME! I would probably rank a 5, I could sew a pretty fun bag, but would make full use of my seam ripper in the process!
Christine says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4-5, I’m good at following directions.
Vanessa B. says
SEW ME!
I’m another for the negative scale. I actually had a “D” in Home Economics in High School. My dad begged the teacher for extra credit work for me so it wouldn’t kill my otherwise honor roll report card!
candice says
sew me!
i’m a 2 (on a good day).
Erin D. says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 1.5 on a good day.
Georgia says
SEW ME!!!
I still think of myself as a “beginner” sewer even though I’ve been using a machine since I was about 12, and that in recent years most of my craft that I’m selling out there in public involves a sewing machine in the process, and I have made over 12 quilts! Maybe I need to up that to an intermediate… I know that I can’t live without a sewing machine though…from making curtains and things for the house, to sewing the cushions, bags and animals I sell, to sewing paper together to make book marks and even, very tentatively, sewing my own clothes occasionally, I have to have a sewing machine on hand.
Katie says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 – but this machine sounds easy enough to learn on!
Maegan says
SEW ME! I was a solid 4 during my home ec days, but I’m looking to get back into it and improve. In fact, a sewing machine is on my Christmas wish list!
Annie says
I’m probably a 2… but I would love to learn/do more!
Jackie says
SEW ME
I guess I would have to give it a 5+, which means ok, but not terrible.
Karli says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 1…was about a 7 back in jr high…but of course had no desire to do something that mom was forcing me to learn! Oh, how I wish I would have stuck with it.
Cristina Bowers says
SEW ME!!
I’d be about a 4.. I could make something very simple and possibly even take up pants but that’s about it!
