***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…

Carly says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3 like Sherry, BUT I’ve been wanting to find a sewing machine to try and hone my skills…
Tasha says
SEW ME! I have a super small beginner sewing machine and I can’t figure out how to change the feet! I need something easy!
Sheila says
SEW ME! My sewing skills are probably about a 3. I took sewing in high school, but I hated it so much that whenever I finished whatever we were assigned to make, I hated the item so much that I never wanted to see it again. Now that I have my own house, however, I would like to try again and see if I could sew simple things like throw pillows and curtains. This looks like a great little machine!
Jennifer says
Sew me!
I have no skills whatsoever, but I want to!
Kelsey S. says
SEW ME! I’m somewhere around a 5. I can use a sewing machine, no problem, but I don’t have a lot of experience with complex patterns and advanced techniques. I’d love to get in some more practice, though!
Joanna says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2-3. I can definitely sew a anything curtain-like but totally failed when trying to make a skirt. I have so much respect for everyone on Project Runway! This machine would definitely be a step up from my used machine from the 60’s!
Whitney says
SEW ME!
I consider myself a 1, but I am very interested in becoming at least a 3!
Meg says
Sew me!
I am a 1 but would love to learn!
Vivianna Pena says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 2.5, I could probably creat a whompy bag, but I can’t figure out how to use my grandma’s old sewing machine.
Ali says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 0 in skills and knowledge but, a full 10 in desire to learn to sew!
I’m crossing my fingers I get the chance to learn on that beautiful Singer One!
Thanks Singer! Thanks YHL!

Carla says
Sew me! I’m probably a 2. Tons of ambition, not much skill ;)
S says
SEW ME! I’d rate myself a 2. I have just mastered sewing a straight line! Woot! What a great giveaway. Thanks for the chance.
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 3. :)
Melanie says
sew me! i have a feeling i’m going to win this one. I’m probably a 3
Shannon says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 on a scale of 1 to 100. I wish I could sew anything. My replacement buttons are noticeably replaced… I’d love the opportunity to learn how to sew.
Aska says
“SEW ME!” 1:(
Danel says
SEW ME!
I would consider myself a solid 1.5. As in I had my first sewing lesson a week ago and now know how to load my machine and sew a straight line. This would be so (SEW) amazing for me, as the one I’m using now is about 30 years old (but not cool and retro) and was taken from a friend’s mom who was about to throw it in the trash (for good reason). It has seen better days and brings me great shame.
James says
SEW ME!
My wife is a 1 at best but has wanted a sewing machine so she can learn! This would make an awesome Christmas gift!
Katie says
SEW ME! I’d consider myself a 2 on the sewing continuum. I made a wonky bag in like 8th grade and haven’t touched a sewing machine once, but it’s on my life list to learn.
christy b says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2 but would love this for my mom who is a 7.
Jamie M. says
SEW ME!
4.25! I’m not the best, but I can sew it when needed.
Katie Little says
SEW ME! I would rank myself a 3 or 4 on the sewing scale? I really like to blame my manual machine for that though, the tension is never right!
Carolyn says
SEW ME!!!
I would say I’m a 6. I’ve done a few quilts but nothing too fancy. I’ve used my moms old sewing machine and don’t own one, so this would be fabulous!
Kerry says
Sew me!
1, at best
Anna says
Sew me
I’m probably about a 4. I definitely know some basics and have sewn a lot with those but outside of throw pillows, curtains and elastic waisted skirts I’m not very good.
Stephanie says
SEW ME!! 0 for sure, but really want to learn!!
Lauren says
Sew me!
Does Jr. high home ec. Count? If so, i am still a 10!
Alysson says
SEW ME! I’m totally a 1. Would like to increase those skills with some practice, though!
Meg M says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m around a 6… I just don’t get a lot of time to do it. (That’s what she said)
Jessica D. says
SEW ME!!
I’s say I’m hanging out with Sherry around the three… but my sewing machine doesn’t work right so there’s no telling whether that’s an accurate portrayal of my skills….
Rowan Wilton says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 4 – often a bit of sheer darn luck
1
Katy Janicek says
SEW ME!!!
I’m definitely a 1, but expecting our first child and I keep finding fun sewing projects for his nursery! Starting lessons with a friend soon!
Catherine says
SEW ME! I’m a solid 3…on a good day and an easy pattern. I just recently started following your blog, and I love it! Thank you for such great ideas, keep them coming!
Courtney says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 4 wannabe 5.
April says
SEW ME!
I’m somewhere around a 5 :)
Nydia Santos says
“SEW ME!”
I am definitely like Sherry…a 3 on the sewing skills spectrum!
Ashley I says
Sew Me!
I’d say a 4. I usually take over my head projects on and then blow them. Then get frustrated and quit for a while.
Danutcha says
SEW ME!!
I am at a 1.2 (.2 because I did do a bit of sewing… in high school). Would love to sew some clothes for my kiddies tho!
Heather says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3. I can sew a lot of things, but my technique needs help. I also have a lot of problems with the sewing machine itself so an “easy to use” one would be great!
Naila says
sew me!
I am a 1 but would love to grow to a 7 one day…
Lauren says
SEW ME!!! I’m a 1 but with practice could become at least a 2 =)
Sew View says
SEW ME.
Truly, this must be what my username was meant for.
I’m actually a 10 – I can sew anything, having been taught at my mother’s knees, and having helped her sew my sister’s wedding dress.

Lanie says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills probably rank at about a 2. I don’t know how to follow a pattern but I always give a project a try.
Emily says
Sew me!
I used to be a 4, I’ve regressed to a 2. In junior high I made an awesome duffel bag and rainbow pencil case. Now, I can’t make a straight sem but the things I make (usually) stay together.
Christy says
Sew Me! The one thing that I have been asking for for Christmas is a sewing machine. I have absolutely no experience but really want to learn so I can start making some striped drapes.
Adina says
Sew Me!
I’m low, like a 2. Sewed when I was a kid but nothing since then. I would love this machine so I can spend time sewing with my daughter.
Jodi says
Oh Sew FOUR….I’m learning….haha!
Lulu says
Sew me! I can sew a button back on… wonkily. Does that make me a two?
Lizzie Frein says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, but very interested in moving up in the ranks!
JT says
Sew me. If somebody else winds the bobbins and threads the needle, I am a 4. I don’t know why that part is so tricky. My son’s baby doll needs clothing and sadly there are no good accessories for “baby stella’s brother” (in our home known as Baby Sam). So, here’s hoping!
