***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! Definitely a 1 but aspiring to move up the ranks!
Alex says
Sew Me!
I’d say I’m about a 4 or 5… I’d love to get some practice on this new machine!
hannah says
sew me. well, maybe a 4? i just kinda mess around with things till they look right. but that might be because my grandma very kindly gave me her awesome vintage sewing machine, which is awesome, but is missing a lot of the bits that make sewing machines work….
Mary says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1 but I’d really love to get better.
Katharine says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 4… I sewed a quilt for my best friend’s baby, and a stocking for my own baby last year, but honestly, I spend a lot of time ripping out seams in the process too….
Deborah E says
I have a well used and secondhand machine…..I must be a 3+…….I mostly use my machine for home decorating. Once in a while I make simple garments like skirts and children’s clothes. It would be wonderful to have a modern machine.
“SEW ME”
Deb says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 :( but wouldl be thrilled to be a 10 :D
Allison says
SEW ME! If there’s a 0, that’d be me! But I’ve always wanted to learn…
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1, but I want to be a 10!
Elizabeth says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. Definitely a 1. But that could change if I had a cool new sewing machine to motivate me to learn!
Emily H. says
SEW ME!
I am a “mediocre pillow maker,” which I imagine would rank at a 1 3/4,
maybe a 2.
Kelly B. says
SEW ME! I might be a 2.5 but I’d love to take classes and get good enough to sew little girl dresses someday. There are so many cute patterns on Pinterest!
Erin says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 4, but mostly because I have a mom who could help me learn tricky sewing techniques blindfolded. :)
Allison says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1. All I can make is tangles of thread!
Julie L says
Sew me!
I can sew a button, does that make me a 1.5???
KM says
SEW ME! I am a 1.1 on the sewing scale!
now SAVE me with a Singer :)
Erica says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m around a 4. I’ve sewn a few projects, but mostly things like pillowcases, quilts…things with straight lines. :)
Brittany says
SEW ME!!!
I’m like a 0!! I totally need all the help I can get!
Jessica says
SEW ME! I’m a 2.3333.
Katie MW says
Sew me! I’d say I’m about a 6 or 7. I can make clothes with or without a pattern, but my things usually have some little issues. I’d love to sew more, but my machine is broken, and my 4 kiddos take a lot of my time.
rachael says
Sew me! I am a 4. I can do a square pillow on a good day!
Melissa p says
Sew me!
I wish I was a 10, but I think I’ll get there with practice and a machine not from the 70’s. right now, I’d rate myself a 2.
Erica Smith says
SEW ME!
I’d cautiously classify myself as a 2. I can do a basic stitch, but you don’t want me suturing up your arm anytime soon.
Allison Burton says
SEW ME! I’m gonna say an 8 or 9 – i learned how to sew when I was little by making Barbie clothes. :) And now I make clothes for me, my girls, and anyone else who will pay be to do it!
Laura M says
SEW ME!
I’m a zero, but having a kid makes me want to learn more for sure!
Julia says
SEW ME!!! I’d say I’m about a 6 or 7 on the sewing scale- I make a lot of my own clothes but will never stop learning tips and tricks!
Deb says
SEW ME!
I haven’t sewn much in years – so I’m probably a 2. The last major sewing catastrophe, I was in seventh grade and sewed a dress from a barnyard material. Trouble was – I cut half the dress upside down. Woops. I still finished it despite the upside-down cows.
Sabrina Snyder says
SEW ME! I’ve made one blanket for our lil one and it took me 6 months to make!
Meg says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1, but have always wanted to improve my sewing techniques!! Being able to sew will improve my DIY projects like crazy!

Sarah H. says
SEW ME!! Definitely a 1, but I’d like to learn.

SEW ME! I think I’m a 3. I can sew with the help of a good teacher (mom or grandma), but on my own I’m hopeless.
Clare says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 5… I’m working on my second hand-pieced and -quilted quilt, and I’d looove to have a machine to make the next quilt go faster!

Jane Pyle says
Sew me! I’m okay…..I wouldn’t like to rely on my ability!

SEW ME! I’m a 2… I can hand sew but don’t know how to use a sewing machine. I want to learn though!!!
Kate D. says
SEW ME!!!!!!…….I’m totally a one, but I’d love to be somewhere around a 6 or 7.
