***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…

Keegan says
SEW ME! When I was in Jr.High I knew my way around a sewing machine thanks to Home Ec. class, but since a fair amount of time has passed since Jr.High I would rate myself a 1 now!
Angela says
SEW ME!
I’d rate myself as a 2 but I’m taking sewing classes so hopefully that’ll help :)
Paige @ Little Nostalgia says
SEW ME!
I’m a total n00b. I can sew really well by hand, but put a machine in front of me and I instantly forget how to go in a straight line.
Annie Low says
SEW ME! I have an old Singer and I’ve used that a few times… And failed a few times! I would proclaim myself a 1 on the sewing scale!
Marcia says
SEW ME!
If you are generous, I’m a 3. If you are a tough grader, a 2…..
Mary Ann says
SEW ME!
I come from a family of sewers but I did not inherit any skills. On a good day I rate a 3 because I can sew a straight line and do zigzag and read a pattern.On a bad day it’s bad. Ask my husband how the needle went through my index finger!
Sarah says
See me! I am a 1 hoping to learn to be a 10! Thank you!
Meg says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3. I can sew boxes very, very well.
Meg says
Squares. I meant to say squares.
April was in CT now CA says
SEW ME! I’m a -43 on the sewing spectrum.
Katie says
SEW ME… I’m maybe a 2. I could hem something, it a mostly straight line. But if the machine jams, it’s drinking time.
Kara says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, but I have great aspirations of someday upgrading to a 4. (To me those are great aspirations!)
Lindsey says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m about a 3. I took some costume classes in college but since I don’t have a sewing machine I haven’t practiced in years.
Kara says
SEW ME!!
I am definitely a 1 on the sewing spectrum, but my seven-year-old cousin is super crafty, and he’s been dying to learn how to use a sewing machine (yes, HE — a John in the making, he is so creative with his DIY projects!!!). I’d give it to my aunt for him. ;)
jsh says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a 2. My husband’s a 9 though so I am a lucky gal.
ErinY says
SEW ME!
I successfully added piping onto some pillows last year so I think that qualifies me as like a 4 or 5 right? lol
mary @ B&Gjournals says
SEW ME!
i’d say i’m a 3-4 (i.e. can make a pillow case and can fumble my way through minor alterations…) but would love to learn more.
Nalena Santiago says
SEW ME!
Yeah, I am a 0, no doubt about it. But I am eager to learn all the way in Paraguay!
Ashley says
SEW ME!
I’m horrible at sewing, but I’m dying to learn.

Sew me. I would say I am about a 6. I’m decent, but mot great. Would
Steph T. says
Sew Me! I’m a solid 1, a total beginner. But I’ve been dying to learn and would love to have this fancy machine to practice on. I’ve been pinning tutorials left and right.
Patty says
SEW ME!
About a 3…but it’s been a long time since I had a machine to use!

SEW ME!
I’m a 3-4 and would just love a fancy new machine!!

Anne B. says
SEW ME!!!
Oh my gosh- I’ve been wanting to learn to see for years now!! I’ve finally talked my mother-in-law to teach me! This would be the perfect jump start. I want to learn before having kids so I can make fun stuff for kids rooms and clothes!
Arian S says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 2. I took one sewing home-ec class in junior high, where I learned to sew a tailored shirt. Now, I’m not sure I could thread the machine. But I’d love to relearn!
Margaret F says
SEW ME! I’m about a 2 if I’m being generous.
Kristin says
SEW ME!
My mom is great at sewing and I would love to learn from her, but I’m a 1 for now!
Susana says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 3 and wobbly lines are my expertise :) I’ve been wishing for a sewing machine ever since I moved to Australia! Good luck to everyone worldwide!!
Anna says
Sew me! I’m a 2, wishing to become a 10. Which is the age I last sewed. Barbie clothes, I think.
Harmony says
Thats SEW Raven! Er… I mean, Sew me! I’m not great at sewing, but I try! And the first step to perfection is in trying!
Kim says
Sew me!
I’d call myself a 2.5. I once sewed a pair of pants in the eighth grade that my friend could almost wear. Almost wearable is an accomplishment, right?
Meagan says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m a 6. I just made my sister a Rex (from Toy Story) Halloween costume for her senior masquerade, stuffed Dino tail and all. Of course I made a tail for my 3 year old son too.
Jenny says
SEW ME!
I am a 1, but I am interested in learning quilting someday. My husband might be a 3.
Lindsay P. says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 3 I’de say.. Made my little boy his Halloween costume this year and it didn’t fall apart to that ok eh?
Rebecca says
Sew me: I just broke out my cranky old hand-me-down machine for the first time in five years to sew some xmas stockings. Three out of four got the ribbon hanging part inside out. That would put me at…a 2?
Alissa says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 but would love to become a 3!!
stephanie says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 3 or 4, as long as I can remember how to thread the needle… This machine would solve that problem!
Kate says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, by dying to learn!
Lindy says
Sew me! I hope to aspire to a wonky bag someday :)

Sew me! I am probably a 5.

brianne sheppard says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2.76. Not quite up to wonky bag status! Thanks!
Laura says
SEW ME! I would say I’m about a 5, I’ve made some baby quilts and Christmas stockings but they were nowhere near perfect!
Haywood Foard says
Sew Me! I’m definitely a “1”. But I’d love to get higher up on the continuum!
marisa g says
SEW ME!!
I would rank myself around a 1.5, but I would love to work on my sewing skills with this beautiful machine!

SEW ME! Optimistically a 3

SEW ME!!!! Total beginner that would love a decent machine.
Amanda says
SEW ME!
I probably used to be a 3, but its been years since I sewed anything but a button and I can’t even find all the parts to my old sewing machine.
