***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…

Lauren Rushing says
SEW ME!!! I’m a 2 but I’d LOVE to learn!!! My grandma is definitely a 10 and my dream is to be just like her!
Amy S says
SEW ME! I am longing to relive my home-ec days and start sewing up a storm
Jackie says
Sew me!
I’m definitely a 1- even buttons freak me out! Maybe a sewing machine would help me conquer my sewing phobia!
Shannon says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 2 … I can sew a straight line at least :/
Ashlee says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 1.2. :) I’d love to up that number, though. I’ve looked into sewing classes the last few years. They always conflicted with my work schedule in the past. Now, though, I’m staying home with our new daughter. I’d love to be able to make costumes and clothes for her someday, and pillows and curtains and who knows what else for our house (obviously after lots of practice!).
Rebecca says
SEW ME!
I’d say maybe a 4. My downfall is patterns – I tend to make up my own!
Christine says
Sew me! Oh my could I use a new sewing machine to sharpen my 7 skills to a 10! Would love a new Singer to help me reupholster my sofa, again.
Marissa says
Sew me! I’d probably say I’m a 3… I made some very sloppy slip covers for a sofa in college… ;)
Aimee says
SEW ME!
I think I’m probably around a 4. I haven’t done a lot of sewing since high school, when my mom was around to supervise, but it’s coming back to me.
Sarah E. says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 5-6. I’d love a new machine with lots of special features (mine has none!). Thanks for the chance!
Tiffany says
Sew me! I would say I’m a seven-ish. Still plenty to learn, but I could *almost* sew a bag blindfolded. An easy one, obv.
Mercedes Lambey says
Sew me!!!
I am probably a 4 …. Not a professional, but I can make it work :)
Travis says
Sew me! I’m a -1.
Lizzie says
SEW ME!
I would be a 1, but looking to become a 2.
Lauren says
Sew Me!
Def a 1 but desperately need to move up so my hubby doesn’t have to keep sewing all my buttons back on!!!
Tara says
SEW ME! I’d say like a two? I used to sew as a kid but my machine broke…I actually am planning on buying one after Christmas (though it’d sure be nice to win one) so I can start sewing things for my new apartment!
Donna says
SEW ME! I would rate my skills at a 4. Would love a new machine — my current one was a CHRISTMAS gift in 1973! Yes, it’s almost 40 years old.
sheneversleeps says
SEW ME! I’m a total novice, but would love the opportunity to learn more :)
Day says

SEW ME!
Um, I have no sewing skills. This is why I need a sewing machine!
Sally says
SEW ME!
I’d say I am a 6 but would love to be a 10 and I am definitely a SINGER girl!
Hillary Jane says
SEW ME!!! Please:)
I would rank about a 2.5. I can do a little mending but I’ve been saving tons of projects until i can learn! …Although… I recently learned I’ve been sewing buttons incorrectly… So maybe 1.5?
Kristin says
SEW ME! I would love, love, love a new machine!! I’m probably around an 8 or so…could definitely make a bag, but not blindfolded! My biggest sewing accomplishment was sewing a friend’s wedding dress for her! :)
amber baxley says
SEW ME! I would say that I am a 4 on the scale of 1-10. I always wish I had a great sewing machine to hone my skills. Sewing reminds me of my Grandma, as she made all of my baby clothes and also some quilts for me and the kids I may have some day. I would be so excited to win this!
Jamie G. says
SEW ME! I give myself a 3…I know my way around a sewing machine and have made some nice stuff but tackling patterns? Pssht!
Sherree says
“SEW ME!”
I’m a 4 in sewing skills. I like to make my own things. I have my mothers singer sewing machine she handed down to me. It is a heavy metal light green color. I’d Love to have a New Singer.
Juliette says
Sew me!!
I would probably be a 2 or 3
Jennifer Cook says
SEW ME!!!
Ashliee W says
“SEW ME!”
I’d probably go with a 3-4. I’ve done some quilting by hand, would be nice to be able to play around with the machine and see what new things I can create. As of right now I mainly crochet and love it also!
Brooke says
Sew me! I haven’t sewed since junior high home ec class– time to learn!
Liz says
SEW ME!
I am maybe a 2… I’ve done a few small projects on a secondhand, OLD machine I bought from Goodwill that has since kicked the bucket/bit the dust (I originally mixed those metaphors into something like “kicked the dust” and gave myself a good laugh).
Jennifer Cook says
I’m totally a 3 like Sherry. Sometimes I even have a hard time sewing a straight line. HA. xo
Nicole H. says
I’d say a 3 or 4. I’m currently using a hand-me-down Singer from my MIL, so I’d LOVE a new one.
Amanda says
Sew Me! I’m a 1 with zero sewing experience and would LOVE to learn!!
Crystal says
SEW ME!
I’m a 6-8 depending on how much patience I have when I start & finish my project.
jennie says
sew me! i’m about a 2.5 but trying to get better!
Mike says
SEW ME!
I am most definately a 1! I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be the one using it if I won. My wife however… :)
Jess says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. Maybe a 1.5. :)
Jennifer says
OMG! SEW ME! I have always wanted to learn to sew. I was inspired by bloggers who are crafty. And I really wanted to buy a sewing machine but my budget won’t allow it:(
Sophia says
SEW ME!
I would say I am a 1. I have sewn a simple tote bag thanks to a GroupOn basic sewing class. Would love a machine to practice on so I can finally relieve my mom from hemming/alterations-duty!
Michaela Grinder says
Sew me!! I rate a 3 and I’ve been dying for a new machine to make curtains
Michelle says
SEW ME!
I can sew square-ish pillows but that’s pretty much it :)
Cristina says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably a 2. I’ve come a long way (-2?) from home ec class where I sewed the arms to the body of my lovely striped pajamas three times. I’ve made three quilts for my kids and our house in the past few years and they are actually presentable.
Olivia Phillipson says
SEW ME!!
Maybe a three at a push..? My mum would definitely need to refresh the minimal skills I picked up at school.
Christen says
I’m definitely a 1…but I’m eager to learn!
Kari says
SEW ME!
I think I was probably a 5 or 6 back in the day, I used to sew skirts, dresses, pillows… But now I am more like a 4. Out of practice, so this is perfect! I have been looking or a sewing machine of my own!!
Annie says
SEW ME! I’m a 6 sewer. It’s my favorite hobby at the moment. But I sure am no tailor.
