***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…

Heidi says
SEW ME!
I’m around a 3 as well. This machine is definitely an upgrade from my current Touch n’ Sew model from the 60’s!
Bethany says
Sew Me!!! I am a zero for sure.
Gena S says
SEW ME! I am a quilter. Not to good at sewing clothing.
Ria says
Sew Me!
I’m definitely a 1, but would love to learn!
Ruth says
SEW ME!
I am a 3 or 4. I prefer cross stitching but I can use a machine okay with some guidance from my mom :)
xin says
SEW ME!
I am about 5-6. Never sewed with any pattern, just whatever I had in mind. My girl and her dolls will have more cute dresses if I had a fancy machine like that.
Jessalynn says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 2. The only thing I can sew well is a scrunchy, yes i said scrunchy! Oh and maybe a pillowcase. Needless to say, it’s been a while since I’ve sewn, but I’ve been wanting to get into it!
Jenae says
Sew me! I would say I’m a1. I can sew a button on something and I can sew the holes my dog makes in his toys- he thinks it looks perfect ;)
Cindy says
SEW ME!!!!
I think I’m about a 5. I really need a replacement for my 10+ YO sewing machine, which no longer goes in reverse. I have sewing projects that are piling up!
Annie says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3, too. I made that wonky bag. Did you hear that asymmetry is IN this season? …Yeah, me neither.
angela says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 or 3, but I daydream of making my own clothes and elaborate window treatments! :P This Singer could make my dream into a reality!
Jennifer says
SEW ME! I’m a 8! started sewing when I was young, during college and through marriage and children. Love to sew home dec items (curtains) and always made my younger cousins a shoebox of Barbie clothes for Christmas every year. My thirty year old sewing maching bought during my college years has died and I’m without a sewing machine. Would love, love to win new one!
LindsayB says
SEW ME!
Karen M says
SEW ME!
I probably am a 6. I can follow a pattern, but not very comfortable creating my own pattern.
Vince says
Sew Me!
My sewing skills is a 1, but it would be for my wife.
AmyK says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, and that’s being generous.
Kyle says
SEW ME!
Ella says
SEW ME! I think I’m a solid 6 or so. I have made some garments, but nothing too complicated. I’d love to have my own machine!
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme) says
SEW ME!!
Felicia says
I’m maybe a 2… I’ve taken a couple classes, but I haven’t had much practice because I still need my own machine!
Felicia says
forgot to add SEW ME!
Michelle M says
SEW ME! Definitely a 1…the last time I used a sewing machine was in my middle school Home Ec class. But it’s on my list of things to learn!
Robin L. says
SEW ME!
I love to sew! I’ve made my own clothes, curtains, Christmas stockings, etc. The poor old machine I have now belonged to my Aunt and Uncle, and I’m in dire need of an upgrade!
Kate says
SEW ME
Ok, so I HATE number scales :) Like when the doc asks you to rate your pain. But I started sewing about 2 years ago and I’ve made some bags and some clothes for my baby. I would love this machine!
darshika says
SEW ME!
I rate myself a 1.
I have so many ideas that I could create if I win and in my mind imagining myself to reach a 10 within few days ;)
Carli says
SEW ME! About a 3 or 4, not great, but sufficient.
jodi scharnhorst says
SEW ME! I’m about a 2 (but want to be a 5):)
Thanks,
Jodi
Kristin says
Sew Me. I am around a three but hope to move up on the scale soon :)
Vicky H. says
Sew Me!
I would say I am a 4. I can figure my way around a sewing machine and am in the process of sewing a quit with my expert mom!
Heather R. says
SEW ME!
Sew (ha) excited about this giveaway! I was literally checking out sewing machines today and trying to decide what features I need. I’d say I’m about a 5. Definitely have a TON to learn, but can navigate basic projects without too many hiccups. The biggest problem is that when I want to sew, I have to drive half an hour over to my mom’s house to borrow and lug home her 50lb machine from the 70’s. Having my own would be A-mazing!
Liv says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3. I’ve managed to make a very simple quilt before, but as soon as something goes wrong I’m completely lost!
Jessica Morgan says
Sew Me! I’m a four…well, maybe a three and a half….let’s go with three…or like 2 and 3/4…
Lisa says
SEW ME! I would say -2 based on an unfortunate incident involving a tiny little sewing machine that broke before I could finish my first eye pillow. Oh how I want to sew things!!
Kari says
SEW ME! I’m a 2. I’ve used a sewing machine with guidance before, but would definitely like to learn more! Having a sewing machine would help with that!
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
Definitely a zero. I haven’t tried to sew since I was 12 and had a craft project go bad. However, having a daughter has inspired me to giving sewing a second chance.
Rachael says
Sew me! I would rate myself a 5 – I have sewed quite a few things that I have impressed myself with (shirts, skirts) but I definitely need more time with my machine to hone my skills. I currently have a 1960s in cabinet singer that I LOVE but its has zero bells and whistles. I would love to have another, upgraded machine.
Meghan W says
SEW ME! My Mom is a 10, I am a 2 on a good day. I think it skips a generation. But, there is nothing like practice to make perfect.
Jenn Jenn says
SEW ME, Please!!!!! I am a solid beginner but my old machine makes it
hard to practice. ;/
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I have no skills, none, zero, nada, zilch. I must win, I must learn – what kind of mama doesn’t know how to sew something?!
Alisia says
Sew me!!
I am definitely a 1. Reading Sherry’s trials and tribulations was like reliving eighth grade home ec all over again :) but I would like to give it another shot!
Ann Schuetzle says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 5. But the reason I am not a 10 is because I do not yet own this Singer machine – haha
Susan Tew says
Sew me. I’m a solid 6.5. Thanks.
Melody Wong says
SEW ME! I can’t sew to save my life, but I want to learn! I’d say i’m a 1.
Emily W. says
Sew Me!!
I would rate myself a 5 or 6. I started sewing when I learned I was going to be an Aunt to a cute little girl! I love making clothes for her! I’ve also made several aprons (12 to be exact) – most for the girls in out cooking club.
I love sewing and do a decent job, but still have a ton to learn! Here are some photos of some of my projects:

samantha hunter says
Sew me! I’m maybe a 4? I can do quilts and blocks and straight lines like a champ, but throw a handle or curved bag and it gets a little sketchy. I’m also terrible at the basic slip stitch, despite many you tube video viewings and a phone call to Mom. Maybe that downgrades me to a 2.5? Who can make an entire quilt but non sew shut a pillow to save her life? This gal.
Meagan Berry says
Sew me! I’m probably a 2. I’ve done a few block quilts, but nothing in the last few years.
Taryn says
Sew me! I haven’t sewed since middle school home-ec, but I’m sure I could pick it up again!
Alyssa says
Sew me! I would I’m a 3. Can fake the very basics but don’t look too close. :)
Jeanne says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1 or a 2… and I’d love to make it to a 7 or 8 one day (who I am kidding 10 is like a parisian seamstress which I never will be). :)
Tara says
SEW ME! I’m no doubt a 1 but need to learn how to make my own curtains STAT! Too many great fabrics to settle for store bought.
Taryn says
*sewn oh wow looks like I didn’t learn proper grammar in middle school either!
