***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…

SEW ME!
I would rank myself as a one on the sewing ability scale, I haven’t tried to sew anything in 3 years since my sewing machine broke…it would be great to win this for a replacement!
Lisa says
Sew Me! I’m a 1-
When I took sewing in 7th grade, my Home Ec. Teacher told me she would pass me with a “C” if I promised I never took sewing again! I’ve always wanted to try again but have been too apprehensive. This machine couldn’t ridicule me or give me a “C.”
Carla says
SEW ME!
1 – what’s a bobbin?
Laura says
SEW ME! Is it possible to get a negative score on this question? I’m probably a -2 if so. Only one way to get better though!
rosa says
SEW ME!
i’m definitely a 1 — in high school, my mom had to do my sewing project for me. otherwise i would’ve probably flunked home economics and would not have been able to graduate!
Kristin says
SEW ME
A 3 on a good day! :)
Judy says
Sew me. When it comes to sewing I’m about a 4-5.Haven’t sewed a lot lately but would like to get at it again.
Kendall W says
SEW ME!
mmm, maybe a 7.
Cora says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 2 or 3 but I really want to be a solid 8!
Tobi Gerstberger says
SEW ME!! A solid 3.75!
Caitlin says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1.3. Maybe this would help?
Brooks says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 4? I can sew a makeup bag like a boss!
Beth R says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m a 2 or 3. I made my son a pillowcase and a cloth book, but haven’t attempted anything big. I’d love to have the time to improve!
Ann says
I am a 4! I love to sew and create. My new favorite is making gifts for all my girlfriends who are expecting little ones.
Becky says
SEW ME!
I would say I am a 1 – haven’t sewed in a long time but aspire to be a 3 :)
Laurel S says
SEW ME! I must be a 2-3 but would improve with a machine, I’m sure :)! My mom and grandma are super-talented and I’d love to be able to emulate some of that…
Jill says
Sew me!! This is exactly what I asked for for Christmas! However not sure I’m going to get it! Would love this early Christmas present. I would say I am about a 3. But my goal is to get better! Want to be a 10!!
Karah says
Sew me!! i would say I’m a 2. I can thread a machine and I technically know how to get something done (I can explain it to someone else) but my lines are not straight and my patience isn’t strong. I would really love to get better though.
Mike says
SEW ME!
I am totally a 1 but want to learn!
Lee Green says
SEW ME!
I can sew a bag, even a simple skirt. But my mom, she can quilt.
Elizabeth Brueseke says
Maybe a 2. I could sew a wonky bag, but it pry wouldn’t have an opening.
Brandi from Bloomington says
SEW ME! I’m a one. I’d like to be able to do curtains and hems.
Kayla Gassaway says
SEW ME!! I would rate myself at a 3 –
I can sew a wonky bag:)
Heidi says
SEW ME!! I’m about a 2…straight lines only!
Leslie [MsMagpieWrites] says
I’d say I’m a 2, if sewing on buttons and using iron-on hem tape counts for anything.
Chloe S says
SEW ME! I am definitely a 3 on the scale. Working on becoming a 5, though! Slow and steady, right! Baby steps to the 5… ;-)
Kara says
I am definitely a 1, but my mom is a very-deserving 10 and I would love this for her!!
julie says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1-beginner for sure. I can thread a needle and stitch something up by hand but I’ve never had the opportunity to use a sewing machine!
Melanie says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 – definitely never sewed before, I keep pawning my projects off on others. I need a machine to get started and learn!
Allison says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4…maybe a 5 on a good day. I’d probably be better if I sewed more than once every few months.
Megan C. says
SEW ME!
Emily says
Sew me! I am in good company with Sherry…definitely a 3
Sharon Flasche says
Sew Me!
would love this machine. Am not quite an expert, but made clothes for my 2 girls forever.
Jill says
Sew me! I’m about a 3. Want to learn more though!
Terresa says
SEW ME. I’d give myself a solid 6!!! I’ve sewn almost all my curtains, including a pleated, boxed indoor awning. Can alter clothes. I would love to improve my skills on a good machine:)
stefanie says
SEW ME! definitely a 1! but hoping to learn!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I think I’d rate myself a 4/5 – I still have a LOT to learn and have never sewn a zipper but have made many quilts and curtains – I’ve been sewing since I was a little girl. :) I’ve just about reached my machines capacity – so I’d LOVE a new one! I’m a big Singer fan too!
libby says
Sew Me! How funny, i was just telling someone how i wanted to sew curtains. I think I’d be about a 3, i took a sewing class in high school!
Judy says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4–curtains and pillowcases. Love a straight line! (I use a 1960s Elna. It’s cool, but I’m afraid it will die soon.)
Katie says
SEW ME!!!! A 1 but I want to change that very soon. Asking for a sewing machine from Santa so this would be perfect ;)
Steph says
That machine is SEW ME!! I am about a 4 or 5 on the sewing continuum. I can make awesome bedding, curtains, pillows, handbags, and skirts! :)
Ashley says
SEW ME!
I need some practise but LOVE sewing, one day I will upgrade my 2 to a 3, I know it!
Kerry says
SEW ME!!
I’m definitely a 1, but I would love to learn on a user-friendly machine.
Nancy Hanniford says
SEW ME!
I can sew a really decent straight line. That’s about it.
Anna B says
SEW ME!
I guess I’m maybe a 5? I want to learn more, but as of now, I’ve got straight stitch projects down cold, and I can alter clothes to fit me (like making a gross 1990s ankle-length dress into a cute knee-length peplum dress). I also once sewed a pair of pajama pants from a pattern, so that counts for something, right?
Kim A says
SEW ME! I’m a beginner.
Alia Richardson says
SEW ME – A 2 because i would try for a wonky bag and get a wonky sack!
Ashley says
SEW ME!
… I’m definitely a one, but I really want to learn! A sewing machine has been on my to buy list for the last two years, but something always comes up and it doesn’t happen!
Brietta says
SEW ME!
You know how a lot of kids take piano lessons? My mom signed me up for sewing lessons instead. When I was seven. So when other kids were learning chopsticks, I was learning to make my own pajamas and stuffed animals. Sadly, my skills have waned as an adult and I don’t do much more now than mending, alterations, and basic home stuff, so my skills are probably about 5-6. My last major project was turning a king-size duvet cover I got on sale into a queen-size duvet cover, which really isn’t an easy project to do in a tiny apartment with a fabric-obsessed kitten running about.
Becky says
Sew ME! I would say I am a 6! I have enough skills to make a lot of projects. Definitely not clothes for myself though. Maybe with this amazing machine that dream could become a reality:)
