***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…

Katie says
SEW ME! Probably a 4 or 5? I’ve been borrowing my mom’s machine for a couple years now but she would like it back!
Julia says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 2. I would love to sew gifts for my friends and kiddos!
Nicolle says
SEW ME!
I would say I am a 5. I still have a lot to learn but I love to sew.
Kim says
sew me! probably a 4. can sew a straight line and even ventured into making pillows WITH zippers!
Marla says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2. I can sew a straight line once the thread is in. :)
mel says
SEW ME!!! I’m a 2.. But I’m sure with this fantabulous sewing machine I could get up to a 3.5 ;)
Sarahincola says
Sew me! Probably a 6, lots of years of 4-H and a talented mother are the only reasons for that 6 though.
Nicole says
Sew me! I wouldn’t even know where to begin but if I had one I would sure learn!
Allison W says
SEW ME!
I’m going to say I’m a 1. I haven’t sewn anything more than a button since junior high but I like to think with the proper equipment I could do more!!
Elizabeth F says
SEW ME!
I haven’t used one in awhile, so maybe a 3 or 4…I’d love to explore making baby blankets as gifts, etc, and maybe boost that ol’ score. ;)
-Elizabeth
Erin says
Ohhh, a two…..maybe.
sarah says
SEW ME!!! I would probably be a 5. I can sow on a button and mend things but I’ve been intimidated by sowing machines since 7th grade home ec.
Becky says
SEW ME! I think I’m about a four. I can sew things that usually come out the way I want but I take FOREVER!
Rona says
Sew me!
I think I’m a 3 as long as I’m sewing something square or rectangle.
Miki says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2 on a scale of 1-10, but “sew” want to practice on a machine like this!
Kira says
Sew me! I’m probably a 2 :)
Johanna says
Sew me!
I’d rank myself a 6! I can do a few things :)
Marta Davies says
Sew Me!!
I’m a 2 (that was wonky.. Right?) on small projects, and a 1.3 on anything big, or that requires straight lines for a good bit.. Like curtains.. I never sew those!
Calli says
Sew me! Please! I’m maybe a 3!
Stephanie says
Sew Me!
I can sew a straight line, but threading the machine is probably the biggest problem. I’d say a 3 on actual sewing, but I am a competent embroiderer, so…6?
Kimmo says
SEW ME!!!
I am at a 1, but I am dying
To learn! What a cool giveaway!
Heidi says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2, but I’ve really been wanting to get a sewing machine and improve a little.
Sara says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 5. I’ve only been sewing for a few years and don’t have a lot of time to commit, but it is fun.
Jennie says
Sew me!!! This is my secret Christmas wish that I so wish I could ask for, if only we weren’t on the new-baby/new-windows-are-the-best-use-of-our-money-so-thats-it-for-each-other-for-Christmas budget! Ahh! Pick me please random number generator! :)
Lindsey says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3. There have been projects that have turned out great, and other times I’ll make something as simple as a curtain and it’s crooked. Maybe if I had my own sewing machine to practice on I’d start to improve! :)
Elizabeth says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a 6, but that could be pushing it. But I’m learning and I love it!
Julie says
SEW ME!
Oooo, this is a good one! I’m probably about a 2. I can sew on buttons, along seams, correct fallen hems. This would be a great excuse to experiment beyond the basics!
Danielle says
Sew me!
I’d put myself at like 4-5 but definitely looking to improve! Speaking of which I need to go sew Christmas stockings :)
Crystal says
SEW ME, but sue me…I can’t sew! Blast! Baby steps!! Have made curtains with the hem tape method and would like to graduate to the (in theory, easier) sewing machine steps! Help!!! Would love to win this and finally move onto the next level of fabric awesomeness!
Allyson says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3….I need a machine to improve my skills! Would love to sew baby clothes…#3 due in June.
Amanda Ryan says
SEW ME! I am definitely a 1, maybe even a .5! but I want to learn! I have pinned so many crafts that include sewing and haven’t been able to bring myself to do them yet.. having a machine would really be a big step in the right direction to getting on any of it. :)
Nate says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1… probably a 0. I made a quilt a few years ago with help from my mom, but that’s about it.
Emily says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1.
Kristin H says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3. I’m ok at hand sewing, but machines…well….let’s just say the last time I tried to use one the machine and I got in a fight, and a seam ripper was sacrificed. I would like to get better though!
Kendra Webb says
SEW ME!
I love to sew, fingers crossed!
Tammy Dowden says
SEW ME
I really want a new machine– for Christmas????
Kirsten says
SEW ME!
I’m not a great sewer but I can hem my own jeans – that’s my best trick! So, I’d say a 3 or 4?
Hope I win so I can practice some more!
Donna says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3 also.
Allyn says
SEW ME
Outside of the random buttons I’ve sewn on, I’m probably a -1
Heidi says
Sew Me!!! I think I’m about a 5. I could sew if I really tried to and I know what I’m doing for the most part, but I just don’t do it often enough to remember all the tips and tricks.
Judy says
Sew Me!
I think I’m like a 3. I can follow a basic pattern, do curtains- things like that. I’m not terribly patient so I try to stick to simple projects that will actually look good!
Kyla says
SEW E!
Maybe a 2 if we were considering talent . . .
But if we were grading effort I’d be at least an 8!
Lora Greene says
SEW ME…Holding steady at # 1
Tara says
SEW ME!
I am a novice, a 3, at best. Though I did manage to make my daughter a really cute pillow once!
Robyn g says
Sew me! I am a 2. For some reason I think I can sew items without completely following the directions and the results are always very interesting. Maybe that beautiful machine will help my skills!
Jan Hunyady says
SEW ME!!!!!!!!
I love to sew but my childhood sewing machine is on it’s last thread.
I would say I’m a 5…not a novice but not a pro.
Kyla says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 2 if we were considering talent . . .
But if we were grading effort I’d be at least an 8!
Janelle says
sew me!!!! I would say I am a solid 2. My biggest accomplishment yet is a shower curtain where I had to match up chevron stripes and I did it!!
Laura says
SEW ME!
-1, I can’t even sew a button on straight, but I’d love to learn.
wendy says
SEW ME!!
I’m pretty much at 11… I can sew a bag blindfolded, and with both hands tied behind my back. Unfortunately, I’m still sewing with my mom’s old machine… I’d be thrilled to be able to replace it.
