***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…

Mary says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a one…I always use the fabric tape to “sew” anything!
Brandie says
Sew me … because I’m terrified of my current sewing machine. <—- pretty sure that makes me a 1 (but I really want to learn and be a 10!)
Ann says
Sew me! I’m a 1, but love to become a 10. Or at least a 4!
Nancy says
SEW ME! I would say I am a four – have sewn clothes, window treatments, and can follow a pattern but don’t get enough practice to be a five. :) This sewing machine would be great for that, though!
Brie says
SEW ME! I am around a 5. I dabble in pillows, curtains, and can follow basic dress patterns. :)
Meredith says
SEW ME!!
I’d probably say I am an 8. I do a lot of sewing and could really use a new machine since mine is at least 30 years old.
Drew says
Sew me!
Crystal says
SEW ME!
I am a 1, but would love to learn!
Ann says
Sew me! I’m a 1, but would love to learn!!!
Alyssa says
Sew Me!
I would say I am a 5 1/2 – but because of all the awesome tutorials on Pinterest I desperately want to be a 9!
Debby Holt says
This is SEW ME!! Been thinking of buying a sewing machine. I rank my sewing skills a 3. Learned sewing in Home Economics (anybody remember when they called it that?)
Claire Bambrough says
Sew me!
I am maybe a six. I can sew simple clothes, and upholstery. Just don’t look too closely!
Joyce says
SEW ME!! I am probably a 2 1/2 or a 3.
Michelle says
SEW ME!! I’d say I’m about a 4. I can get by but my projects end up a little wonky because my sewing machine hates me.
Lindsey W says
SEW ME, please!
My mom went to school to be a home-ec teacher before she switched majors to become a chemical engineer, so she passed down some of her sewing skills to me – I’d say I’m about a 5-6 :)
JessicaB says
SEW ME!!
I’m definitely a 0. I’m actually kind of scared of sewing machines,but I’ve decided recently that I think I’d like to learn.
Elle says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2.5- I am trying to improve, but I am still scared of patterns…and measuring vs. guessing
Amanda Sch. says
SEW ME!
I think I might just be at a 0. It really is that bad.
Christine says
SEW ME!
I used to do alterations at a bridal boutique, so I’d say I’m like a 5 or 6 (because even though I could do said alterations, I went into palpitations every time I had to).
This sewing machine looks a lot less intimidating than the sewing machines I used to work on, and thank goodness for that!
Eileen says
SEW ME! A 1 for sure!
Kathleen says
SEW ME!I could sew around a 3! Sewing reminds me of my days in middle school learning how to sew a pillow. I used to have the pillow, but I think my parents have it. I made a ginger bread fabric pillow with squares on it.
Sue C says
SEW ME! Hmmm, maybe a 3 or 4. But a REALLY SLOW 4! I can get there, but at the speed of a snail. My mom is well past a 10 and I kick myself all the time for not taking more interest in her skills when I was growing up to learn more!
haley says
SEW Me! You like me are a three!
Camille says
SEW ME!!
Probably a 0 right now. I would love to learn though!!!
Jamie says
SEW ME! I am about a 5 or 6. The sewing machine that my mom got for me when I was in 6th grade (when I sewed my first dress) just broke, which is very sad. I would love to get back to making things for others and around the house.
NancyB says
SEW ME!!
I am probably a 3…can certainly get around using a sewing machine but would so love to be able to do more. My passionate mutterings can become quite disturbing even to me!
Liz says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, for sure. But if I have a crafting crush on sewing, so if I were to win the sewing machine, I would certainly become a 10.
Elaine says
SEW ME!! I’m probably a 3, like Sherry, but could easily get to an 8 with a free sewing machine! :)
Lisa says
SEW ME! I’m about a 5 – I can follow a pattern and make house stuff, but I’m still sewing on a beginner’s machine and can’t justify a new one!
Rachel L. says
Sew me. 1. Have no clue how to sew (other than buttons), would love to learn, but funny thing is, you needs a sewing machine first! Hope I win :)
Jackie says
SEW ME!
On a machine?… about a two. It’s been a while!
Jessy says
“SEW ME”
My skills are lacking but my machine is ancient and faulty. Can’t wait for an upgrade in both!
Jill says
SEW ME! I am probably a 2 now. I just took a beginner sewing class and made a decent looking pillowcase. :)
Brittany says
SEW ME!!! I’m a zero on the sewing spectrum!
Jenn says
SEW ME! I used to be a 5 or 6, but it’s been a few years!
Tricia says
SEW ME! I am about a 3, if I’m lucky! I asked Husband for a sewing maching for Christmas; woudldn’t it be fun if I won one instead!! I am just dying to be able to make things like my mother did. I was too busy reading to ever learn to sew; now I would go take lessons!
Thanks for your great giveaways—hope is always a nice thing to have.
Tricia
Megan McP says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a wonky-bag 3 like Sherry…
Samantha says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 3 or 4, but would love to learn how to do quality work instead of the quick and dirty sewing I do now. I also tend to get really annoyed with the measuring and cutting.
Valerie says
SEW Me!
I’m definitely a 1. I have no idea how to sew, but I really want to learn!
Jenn says
Sew Me! I’m a one at the very most. The last time I used a sewing machine was to make dog booties for a class project in eighth grade. Those would have been a lot easier with an automatic needle threader and buttons!
LIndsey says
SEW ME!
I would rank myself a 6. I make pillows, curtains and some clothes for my daughter. Im self taught so Im sure my techniques and not correct.
Megan says
SEW ME…. I am a -10
Cindy says
SEW ME! I would be a 3. Took it in home ec too long ago but picked it up pretty quick
Kylie Pearce says
SEW ME! Im a 3 :)
Carrie says
SEW ME!
I think I am a 4. I took home eq. in middle school and made a pillow, and then made some handbags in high school but I haven’t sewed anything in 6 years.
Nathalie says
sew me! i’m a 2 on the sewing scale, would love to be able to make some of the fun things i see online
Rose says
SEW ME!!
I am probably a 3 1/2. I’m currently working on a quilt!
Kelly.R says
Sew Me!
I’d say I am somewhere between a 5 and 7 which sounds like a 6, but that doesn’t feel right. I mean I sew stuff and sell that stuff, but I don’t feel super skilled…
Lauren says
Sew Me!! I’m maybe a 2. But this machine makes it seem like anyone could be pretty great :)
Lindsay B. says
Sew Me! I’m probably a 2. I sewed a heart-shaped pillow in home ec in the seventh grade… I think I might have peaked then. I’d like to think I could sew curtains these days, though, and I’ve been dying to get a sewing machine so I can try.
