***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…

Beckie says
Sew me!! I’m a 3!
Carolyn says
SEW ME!!
I’m around a 1.5? I know which way to push the material – towards the sewing machine!
Amanda says
Sew me! I’m a 9, I’m a daily stitcher!
Sandy says
SEW ME!
Probably a two. Used to be a 4-ish, but it’s been years since I used a machine.
Jenny says
Sew Me!
I’d consider myself a 4 when it comes to sewing.
Barbara says
Sew me! I’d say I’m about a 3.5. I kind of make it up as I go.
Kristin says
SEW ME!
I just finished my first baby quilt not that long ago, so I would consider myself a novice who is learning!
Alana M. says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2… I can sew straight lines and two pieces of fabric together.
Cherie says
SEW ME! I’m about a 2. I recently learned how to thread the machine, so I’m well on my way!
Sarah says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 but would love to learn.
Kimberly says
SEW ME!!!
I would put myself about a 4.5 perhaps. I’m actually making some aprons for Christmas gifts this year!
Megan says
Sew me! I think I’m around a seven. My mom was a home ec teacher and I started sewing Cabbage Patch doll clothes in grade one. However, I have my mom’s original machine and it’s a beast. Its a heavy cast-metal-something orange Husqvarna (yes, like the chainsaw). I dream of something lighter and sleeker that would be a bit easier to haul around for smaller jobs.
Heather says
“SEW ME”
I would say that I am probably an 8 or 9 when it comes to sewing skills. My only problem is following a pattern’s instructions. I like to just make my own and hope it turns out! I’ve made some really cool presents for my friends’ kids, but alas, my own children get the shaft most of the time.
tiffany says
SEW ME! I’d LOVE to win this. My sewing skills are about a 4-ish. Would love to improve them on this little machine!
Katie says
Sew me! I’m a 1 but am dying to learn!
Susan Sheard says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4-5. I would have so much fun with a machine this beautiful.
Carra says
See me!
I’m strictly hem tape and hand sewn buttons over here…
Karisa Balaram says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 2… sometimes a 3? I just completed my first quilt… kinda. Sorta. Ok, still working on it!
Janet Gaupp says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2. I can no-sew a bag?
Melissa D says
SEW ME!!
I am definitely at a 1… but I have always wanted to learn!
Nikki says
“SEW ME!” I’m a 4+ but I love to make things and I currently have to sew by hand (fun, but time consuming). Thanks to you all for the giveaway!
Alisha says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 3 or 4. I could sew a pillowcase, but probably not a super matchy set of pillowcases :)
Jen D. says
SEW ME!
Hmmm. I’m about a 1. Easy.
Sandra Salsbury says
Sew me!
I would say I’m about a 6. I can make simple clothes that I’m only mildly ashamed to wear in public.
heather sweet says
Sew me!!! An 8
Jennifer says
Sew me! Definately can’t sew my way out of a bag despite my 7th grade teacher, Miss Hatchet’s efforts in Home Ec class!
Jasmine says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a two. I made a blanket for my daughter, but it didn’t hold up for very …
Tracey says
SEW ME!
I am a 1, but I always wanted to learn! This machine looks awesome. Impressive that Sherry can sew!
Stef says
SEW ME!
I’m a 0. I’ve never ever used a sewing machine before. Badly would love to learn.
Diana says
SEW ME! I’m quite good, but I lack a sewing machine. And it was my bday on Sunday!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2-3. Learning! But it’s a slow process!
Sara says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a 5 or 6 when it comes to hand sewing (made myself become so, since I didn’t have a machine!), but definitely a 1 with a sewing machine. I have so many projects I’d like to do that require one, and so much to learn!
Mary says
SEW ME! My skills in 7th grade home-ec class is probably better than it is today. That just means I need to brush up and get down with my bad-sewing self.
Christina says
SEW ME!
I just finished hemming some dress pants, which is about the top of my abilities…and I have to do it very slowly! So maybe I would rank myself at about a 5?
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m probs a 6. Not sew shabby.
Megan Dyan says
Sew me! I’m still in the negative numbers…I’ve been known to hem a thing or two with staples. True story!
Monica Pavlik says
Sew Me! Oh, I’ve been secretly wanting a sewing machine for years, but could never justify spending the $$ for it. I’ve been hoarding fabric and would love to brush up on my sewing skills. I’m probably about a 3…maybe more of a 2. Pretty please!!! .
Christen says
I would probably rate myself at a 5….i can do a lot of easy stuff…just don’t ask me to sew a super straight line:)
Katie says
SEW ME! I’m probably a solid 2.
norah says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3, I could make a rudimentary bag as long as no pockets or zippers are involved. Fun fact: I used to make my living sewing baby bibs. That’s the extent of my ‘talent’.
Traci says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 but am sure to improve with a great machine!
Angela Russell says
SEW ME!!!
I’d say I’m a 5, but hte fact that I just killed my machine leads me to question that. SEW NEED THIS!!!
Sara Johnson says
SEW ME!!!
I’m a 1 but I just know I’d shoot up to a 10 with this bad boy!!
Lucy says
SEW ME!
I took a sewing class way back in highschool…..but since then haven’t used a machine. It may have something to do with, i don’t have one :(
Lesley says
Sew Me! :)
I would say I’m around a 2.5 but working on becoming a 3!
Jaci says
Sew me! I am a 1 but would love to learn how to be a proficient sewer.
Mindy says
SEW ME! I am one of those people who can’t even sew a button back on. Seriously. I am dying to learn though and would love to eventually learn how to sew my own tote bags!!
Lucy says
So that would make me….maybe a 2
brita says
SEW ME! i’d say a 2 or 3. I haven’t practiced with a machine in years but i made zippered pencil cases all through high school that i thought were pretty cool! Being a poor college kid now i’m just really good at mending things!
Tiffany Akin says
SEW ME! I think that I might be a 4 but I would really love to improve my skills and the Singer One would definitely help me do that :-)
