***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…

Rebecca says
SEW ME!
Umm… let’s say a 3. I can make a bag or a pillow, but I’m not about to go making any attractive clothing.
Shelly Murphy says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 5. I can sew basics like pillows, straight stitches for curtains and making simple quilts. I would love to have a wonderful machine like this to learn even more on!
Pam says
SEW ME! i’m about a 1. I can sew on a button!
Bonnie says
SEW ME!
I was probably a 4 or 5…but haven’t touched a machine since the 80’s!
Henrietta says
SEW ME!
I’m a complete n00b; definitely a 0 or maybe a 00? aha. Love to learn though so fingers crossed!
Feeza says
SEW ME!
I consider myself at 5. I sew pet product for sugar glider and guinea pig. Never use a Singer machine before except my mother one – the one with paddle. Would love to run a Singer and give it a try!
Lori says
SEW ME!
I think I’m about a 6-7, I love sewing and would really love a better machine
Margo says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m about an 8-9. I’m pretty darn good but have so much more to improve on. I can even remember in grade school class the first pair of pants I ever sewed. LOL Thanks for sharing such a generous giveaway.
Tina Edwards says
SEW ME!!!
I am a zero, but I would like to be a one, and if I win I can make that happen!!
Cheryl says
I think I’m a 3…I can thread a sewing machine, and I sewed a hideous rabbit and equally hideous clothes for it (don’t ask!) when I was in middle school as part of a church-related girl scouts group… I think my skills have gotten worse since I was 11…I need my own machine so I can get that awful rabbit image out of my mind and make something PRETTY!
Ashley Crader says
SEW ME!! I took Home Economics class in middle school so probably a 1.
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 4. I’ve made a bag, and it wasn’t wonky. If I won this, though, I’d give it to my best friend, who is like an 11! Seriously, she made the dress she wore to my wedding, and has tackled everything home-related from curtains to re-upholstering chairs, and is now on to a DIY kitchen renovation! Check her out at sarahsbigidea.com!
Megan says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 2 maybe? I used to sew as a hobby in high school but its been 10 years since then so it’s been a while. I always see sewing projects and think I wish I could!
Mommy G says
Sew me! Definitely a 1. Haha! I’d love to learn how to.
Laura says
SEW ME!!
I can see fairly well. Have taken several classes!
Caitlin says
SEW ME! Do negative numbers count? If so, I’m way down there, but I bet this machine could bring me up to the top!!
jamie pennington says
I would be a beginner at this but oh how I’d luv to have it to learn for my 2 girls!! SEW ME!!!!

Christina says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 4. I can follow a pattern but I have plenty to learn!
Laura says
oh my this giveaway is SEW ME!!
i’m probably around a 5 or so… and in desperate need of a sewing machine since i moved away and can no longer borrow my mom’s! oh would just love!
Jesse Lee says
SEW ME!!!!! I’d like to think I’m a three but in reality I’m a one wah wah!!!!
Jen L. says
SEW ME!
I didn’t even know how to sew on a button until Thanksgiving (pathetic, I know), but I’m itchin’ to learn!
afton says
SEW ME! I may be a 2…but I’m a 10 in the ambition department!
shaine says
SEW ME! I am definitely a 1…i can clumsily mend small holes in un-important things with a needle and thread, but that’s about it. i really want to learn though!
Ashley says
SEW ME!
And I’d say I’m a three, right there with Sherry!
Jenni H says
SEW ME! i’m like a 1, but my husband is maybe a 5, and he would love this!
Katie Abramczyk says
Sew me! I’d say I’m a 3.. Which is sad I took classes in HS and stayed at my Aunts for a week to learn…about 10 year ago. I coul use a machine to re-learn!
Ashley says
Sew Me!
Well, if Sherry is a 3, I’d say I’m maybe a 4 or 5. I don’t get scared (at least not of my new machine) but I’m not great. I’m right there with the wonky bag :)
Whitney says
SEW ME! Something beautiful. Definitely around a 3, but owning an actual sewing machine is sure to help!
Kate says
SEW ME !! I’m about a 4. My grandmother began to teach me years ago and I wish I had taken more interest in it. She was the ultimate!! above a 10. Sadly she passed away 10 yrs ago. Wish I could go back and learn from her
Christine says
SEW ME!!
I would give myself a 2 1/2 when it comes to my sewing skills. I took a sewing class once and had to have my mom come over with her sewing machine to help me. It was fun though!
Kathy Frazier says
“SEW ME!!”
I’m a 9 on the sewing scale – would love to be a 10 if I had more time to devote to it! Love to sew!
Lindsey says
SEW ME! My sewing skills are still at a 1, but learning to sew has always been a goal of mine!
Kate says
SEW ME!
I’d have to say I’m like a sixish at the finish, and lower if you have to actually witness the crime in action. My 40-year-old machine and I do a lot of damage sometimes…
stephanie b says
SEW ME! I am like a 2.5. I have figured out how to sew a few things, but in general, it intimidates the crap out of me.
Janet says
SEW ME! I’d love to win a new Singer machine for my
daughter. She’s a 2 who’d love to have more skill.
I’m about an 8.5 and I can teach her. Don’t give up,
Sherry. If you can master the skills to fix up
your house, you can whip a sewing machine :)
Danielle O'Brien says
Sew me! I’m about a 5 since I can do curtains and costumes rather easily yet my dinosaur machine often leaves me throwing a tantrum worse than my 2 year old so a new machine would be a Christmas miracle!
Lena G. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 6 or 7 but aspire to be a ten. I love sewing for my kiddos, largely because the items are small and easier to finish.
Gwen says
SEW ME PLEASE!
Probably a self-taught 4, slowly improving.
Johanna says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1.5 – I could thread a needle and sew on a button, and then that list is done.
BUT
I want to be a 10 at this, so — SEW ME PLEASE! :)
Michelle says
SEW ME!!!!
I’m about a 0.5. I could definitely turn it on. All bets are off after that. But a brand new Singer One sewing machine might be just the inspiration I need to learn!
stephanie b says
SEW ME!! Please SEW ME! I suck at sewing…but I soo want to improve…or at least fake it!
Oana says
SEW ME!
I sewed a pair of track pants way, way back in 10th grade, so I have to rate myself a…4. This machine can probably bounce me up to a solid 7.
Alyssa says
I am a 1 but my goal has been to learn to sew, if I win this that will be more doable.
ashley says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m about a 7, but the only machine I’ve ever had was a hand-me-down gift from my grandmother, a black and gold Singer from the 1950’s that only does one straight stitch. I LOVE that machine but I’d also love to have a new Singer to at least be able to do button holes :)
Ashley says
Sew me! I’m totally a 1 but would love to start!
Stephanie says
Sew me! I “sew” wish I could sew! Hehe
Alyssa says
Sew me! I am a 1 but my goal has been to learn to sew, if I win this that will be more doable.
Kelly says
SEW ME! I would rate myself as a 8 in the sewing scale. I have made a few skirts, a dress, and any number of pillows, curtains, etc. currently planning to slipcover a sofa and would love a new machine to do so.
Leasen says
SEW ME!
I’m somewhere around a 3…I can sew things that require (somewhat) straight lines. Perhaps this would inspire me to bump that up a few notches!
Dawn says
I rate myself a 3 or 4. Need a machine like this to raise my number!
