***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…

Sherry says
sew me. I’m 2. I can hem pants and that’s about it.
Mary says
SEW ME! I’m probably at least an 8. My current sewing machine is about 40 years old. When my older daughters were little, I made virtually all of their clothing from their layettes to jeans as they got older. Now I do mostly Home Dec but would love to have a new machine.
Cathy P. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4, my parents gave me sewing lessons for Christmas when I was 12… so much for the puppy I wanted.
Ashley P. says
Sew Me!!! I’m a 1 who is hoping to achieve 5 status someday!
jenn says
SEW ME!! I LOVE To sew…. and often Mutter while I sew. This machine sounds awesome. Thank you!
Valenti says
SEW ME!
While I’m pretty sure I’m not a 3, I’m definitely not a ten, either! I’d like to say I’d settle in around 7, because I can sew most things with the help of a pattern or two.
And a seam ripper.
Amy S. says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 5 on most days but perhaps a 6 or 6.5 if I’m feeling particularly patient.
Liz Beckwith says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m around a 3 as well. I’m currently working on some super hero capes!
Megan-Jade Elliott says
SEW ME!
I will be generous and say a two… but probably not!
Andrea says
SEW ME!!
Although I’ve never owned a sewing machine ever (I keep asking for one for the last 4 birthdays and Christmases), I think I have some basics down from watching my mom (whose a 10 – she better be, she’s altering my wedding dress!) I’m giving myself a 2.
Dana says
SEW ME!
Well, counting my high school Home Ec experience, I’m probably a solid 1.5. Hoping to make my way to a 10 and make my grandmother (a 10) proud!

SEW ME!
I am sew basic. I can sew a straight line and can’t follow a pattern.
Penny says

Mika Sanson says
Sew me! My skills are almost non-existant but with that fancy machine I might be able to fake it!
Anne says
SEW ME! I would say that my sewing skills are a 6 to 7. I have made bridesmaid dresses, quilts, drapes, baby clothes, pillows, purses, pants and skirts, replace zippers in coats, alter pants, costumes. I taught my 3 boys and 1 girl to sew also. I good machine is the key.
Ashleigh H. says
SEW ME! And unfortunately I’m definitely a 1, but I would love to learn! (:

Emily S says
SEW ME!

SEW ME!
I’d put myself at a 6 or 7. I can make a lot of things, but clothes are not my forte.
Lauren H says
sew me! I’d say I’m a 2 or 3…maybe a 4. I can do some basic stuff, although I’ve never had my own machine to use.
Lauren says
Sew me!
I’m absolutely a novice, but not for lack of desire to learn. I’ve just lacked the means to get a machine!
Kitty says
Sew me!
I’m probably a 4. I used to sew most of my clothes, but that was many, many years ago. My machine is over 40 years old and I’d love one with new features.
Lindsey H says
Sew me!! I’m probably a 2 – I have the same sewing machine as Sherry (thanks for the suggestion!) and have made a pillow case but that is about it :) Definitely need some more practice!
Elizabeth says
SEW ME!
I made an apron in 6th grade that is still going strong 18 years later so I would say I am a 2!

Sew me! I have no idea to sew but would love to learn how!
Sue says
SEW ME!!!
I love Singer sewing machines. I learned to sew on a Featherweight, many moons ago.
Steph says

Kristen D. says
SEW ME!
I;m probably a 2 – my grandma taught me how to sew when i was a kid, but I haven’t touched a needle and thread in about twenty years. I keep meaning to, but I have her old machine, which is about as complicated as they come!
