***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…

Kristin says
SEW ME!
According to your scale, I’m apparently a 10 (as I used to have my own handbag pseudo-business!) but on my own scale, I’d consider myself more like a 7– as in, I’ve been sewing for about 15 years and I sure know my way around a sewing machine, but…. I could never ever be on Project Runway :)
Jenna says
SEW ME!
On the sewing skills continuum, I am a ZERO. I have never sewed in my life! But I want to learn :)
angela white says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 3, but on my way to a 10 when I win!!!
Sarah downs says
SEW ME! I’m with Sherry and definitely a 3.
Lauren says
SEW ME!
I’m a brand new-bie. But I’d love to learn!
Layla says
SEW ME!I’m most definitely a 1, because I constantly dream of having a sewing machine and making all kinds of stuff… but I’ve never even used one. Winning this would be just the kick in the pants I need to start learning how to sew! =D
Sally says
SEW ME TOO!
I am a longtime lurker/first time commenter/beginner sewer having not sewn since school *ahem*, quite a few years ago!!
Very excited to hear this prize could be shipped to little old New Zealand :o)
Stephanie says
Sew me!
I’m a 9 out of 10 sewer, I’ve been using my very very old sears machine for making stuffed toys for my little nephews lately.
Caroline says
SEW ME! I’m somewhere between 4 and 5…
Genelle Gardner says
SEW ME! I would say I am somewhere between a 5 and an 8…. lets say I’m a strong 6. I love to sew, but still make mostly simple clothes for my son and scarves, purses and pouches for myself. Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway!
Cassie Dearborn says
SEW ME!
I’d say about an 8… currently working on a super easy quilt though.
Amanda @ willful/joyful says
SEW ME! I’m a 1. I bought a sewing machine a while back when I was pregnant, but I returned it when I found out it was another boy. Thought I wouldn’t need it because I didn’t have any little dresses to make. Oops! Now I have a bunch of ideas and no sewing machine.
Susan C says
SEW ME!
I was once a five, but I’m a little rusty, so I’m now a three or four.
Karen Gomez says
SEW ME!!!
Im like a 3.7 haha but I would love to be perfect 10!
Ashley says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 5? Sometimes great, sometimes wonky. Working on the consistency :)
Tiffany p says
Sew me! My mom is a ten and has tried to teach me many times. I am a 1.5. At best.
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 4. I can sort of fake a lot of different projects, but I’m not approaching expert any time soon. I really do love sewing though!
Carla says
Sew Me! I’m a 6 on the sewing scale. I could sew a bag, but I’d sew over the closure opening, realize my error, rip out stitches, then sew it up proper. So really, I make all projects twice!
Stacey says
Sew Me!
My skills are definitely a 1, although I have attempted to learn several times. Maybe I should stop trying to teach myself, since I don’t know anything about it.
Diana says
SEW ME! Can sew simple things.
Jasmine says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 3 on the scale. With a little more practice would like to get to a 7, making quilts and clothes for my little girl. I’m working on it :)
Shannon says
SEW Me! I’m pretty much right there w/ Sherry… a wonky bag, but I’d love a little help !
Kelsey says
SEW ME!
I’m going to call myself an optimistic 3, though I fight with my (probably broken) machine more than anything else.
Alix says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 but this would definitely help me be a 10!
Donna C says
Sew me! I would say that I am a 10. I sew every day and have made nearly everything you can imagine. My most interesting item was window treatments for a hearse! I only have a regular sewing machine that does the basics. A fancy one would be incredible.
MartiC says
Sew Me!
I’m a 1 who dreams of moving up the sewing ladder :)
Rachel says
Sew me! I’ve been sewing since a pretty young age, so I’m probably a 7ish… but I learn something from every project! I have been looking at new machines (mine is getting OLD) and this one looks wonderful!!
Jennifer Giorno says
SEW ME!
Im around a 6, I have made a purse, a baby quilt and lots of curtains and roman shades. I’d love to take my skills to the next level!
Beth says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1, but I want to learn!

Alex says
Sew Me! I can sew a straight line by hand…thats about it!
Tara Regehr says
Probably a 2, but I really want to gift a new sewing machine to my mom who is a wonderful sewer! She always made our Halloween costumes, gifts for friends and family, clothing for us, and even my winter prom dress! She’s amazing, and is looking forward to sewing things for my kids one day, and this would be a perfect gift for her!
Jonathan says
Sew me! I’m probably a 5. Ive made a not terribly wonky quilt before….

SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 5.
Unn says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 2-3. I know how to, but don’t maintain my knowledge. I need a sewing machine!

SEW ME!
I would going to be generous since it’s the season of giving and give myself a 4. Room to grow right?!
Gigi says

Abbie says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, but would love to get better with a new sewing machine :)
Taylor says
SEW ME! — Definitely a 1
Kelli says
Sew Me!
I’d say I’m a 2 – but would improve with my very own sewing machine – thinking of the increased DIY projects already!
Sally says
SEW ME!!
I would say I am a solid 2.5 – thanks to my high school’s “Excellent Womanhood” class that all senior girls had to take. About to start a re-upholstery project and would love this!
Kristy G. says
Sew me! I rank myself around a 7. I’m no 10, but I can sew just about anything needed, just not to the high quality standards of a professional seamstress.
Monica says
SEW ME!
I’m pretty good maybe a 7.
Laurie says
Sew me! I am probably a 5 or 6. I made some sweet overalls in 8 th grade.
Tara says
Sew me!
I might be a 6… maybe that’s a little hopeful though!
Laura says
I would say I’m about a 5, love to sew. I just never seem to have the time!
Julie says
sew me!!
I have some skill! I can find my way and figure it out!
Laura W. says
SEW ME!
1 — Its been a long time since I tried, but I have wanted to learn for awhile now.
miranda says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2 on a 10 scale. I can do okay, provided that none of the current settings have to be changed (I cant find the instruction manual, and I’m afraid of breaking something if I move any of the dials).
