***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…

Gilit says
SEW ME…bwahahahahah I’m a negative…5 shall we say?
Okay, not true. I did some sewing by hand when I was in kindergarden (and much more accomplished than now it seems)
Jennifer says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 1.5. I did learn some basic hand stiching in elementary school but have never used a machine. I want to learn!
Amber says
SEW ME!!! I have to say I am 2..oh, but I wish I was a 10! :)
Suzanne says
SEW ME! I am definitely self taught by watching tutorials and reading how-to’s! I share one with my sister so I would love to have my own!
AmyL says
sew me!!
i’m so-so, maybe a 4 or 5? i just made my first shirt for my kid and so far he hasn’t complained.
Ashley says
Sew me! Definitely a one on the sewing scale.
Kelli says
SEW ME!
I average a three on a good day. Thus, my love for iron on fabric adhesive!
Sam Power says
SEW ME!
Unfortunately, my sewing skills are non existent (ie, I’m a 1!). But with baby no 1 on the way, I really want to be able to learn, and to make all the amazing things my mum sewed for me.
Beth says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3 or a 4. In the past few years I’ve taught myself a thing or two, and I love the freedom it brings.
Melissa says
SEW ME!
Karen says
This is SEW ME! I am in the 7-8 range. My machine was made in the early ’70s, so I could sure use an update. I’ll be sewing a wedding dress for my daughter soon!
Sese says
SEW ME!!!
I am a 3, my mom is a 10, I mean she can sew blindfold if she wanted to. So If I can push it to 5, I think I can really finish a quilt!
Amanda says
SEW ME!
I guess I am a 3 or 4. My mom was a 10…”sew” the potential is there for me!
Melissa says
SEW ME!
:)
Mao says
SEW ME!
I’m a two but truthfully I’m a one. I don’t remember how to use one and when I do it turns out all ziggy zaggy :(
Kate says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 3, too. But I use my grandmother’s old machine from about the 80’s. Would be nice to have something a bit more modern!
Here’s hoping someone outside the US wins, too, because we don’t get many opportunities to enter these comps :-)
Vina says
SEW ME!
I believe I’m a 7 but my finished work tells otherwise :)
Carrie says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3. I haven’t touched a sewing machine in years but I made some pretty cute pillows in home ec back in the day. haha!
Catherine says
Sew me! I’m around a 3 or a 4. I can sew pretty much anything I put my mind to but would love to have the time to improve! (And get better at sewing straight lines!)
Anastasia Hertrich says
SEW ME!!
My mom is a fabulous sewer and I would like to practice with her while she sews. Let’s bring back some awesome retro past-times!
And– if I could make my Schnauzer a little coat or halloween get-up– well, how awesome would that be?!
love your blog!
xo
ANa
Melissa says
SEW ME!
Please and thank you!! :)
Amy says
Sew me! I’m a one. I need practice…
Liz B. says
SEW ME!!! I think I’m a 2. I know how to operate a sewing machine to hem a pair of jeans (yay, 5’1!). Yet I have yet to finish a quilt I started over a year ago… :)
Kaylyn Lehmann says
Sew Me! 1 but I would give it to my sister who would then owe me and have to sew me beautiful things!
Holly Weik says
SEW ME! I think I’m around a 4–just getting into the habit, but I’m having a blast making things for our lovely little bungalow, and altering my clothes (carefully, incrementally) to suit me better. Shower curtains, tab-tobs, pillow covers–straight seams are safest right now! My mother-in-law even helped me with patchwork, quilted pillow covers to match a quilt she made for us. And, ulp, inserting zippers… Right now I have a thrifted Elna 2006, but newer is better, right? Awesome decorative stitches would be a blast!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 3 at the moment, but I dream about being a 6 or 7 – and that only comes with practice!
victoria says
SEW ME!
Gosh, I haven’t sewn anything since home-ec class in 1985.
So, 0-1.
Kyra says
SEW ME!!
I’m about a 2 but wannabe a 6! A sewing maching is currently on my Christmas wishlist…if this is truly an “easy” maching, it was meant for me! ;)
Nicole T says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 but a sewing machine is #1 on my Christmas list!!!
Lindsay says
Sew me! I’m pretty good sewing by hand so probably a 3, with a machine I would need lots of practice and a little guidance!
Kelli Taylor says
SEW ME! I am definitely a 1. I’ve been wanting to learn but I can’t justify the cost of a sewing machine just to learn!
robin says
SEW ME! I would say i am a 2 maybe a 3 — if i am not using my literally 40 year old machine, maybe i could bump up to a 4 or 5, who knows!!
April K says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3, but I think this machine could definitely help me improve on that!
Ami says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m about a 7. There are them that are better but I am pretty dang good if I do say so myself!! :)
SJ says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 or 3, and I’m definitely in need of these user-friendly features of automatic needle threading, etc.
Melissa says
SEW ME! i am a zero. Haven’t the slightest idea how to thread a needle, but I hoard fabric for a quilt I dream of making like nobody’s business.
-alex says
Sew Me! I’m about a 3. I have a friend who is a 10. I always beg for her help on sewing projects.
Sarah norman says
Sew me! I would consider myself a 5ish. I’ve mostly taught myself and just make my own patterns from the things I already have. Merry Christmas!!!
Reba Chantler says
Sew Me!
I am a 2 – can sew some although it’s been a very long time.
CarlaF-in Atlanta says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4 with a goal of being a 5 or 6 next year.
Stacy says
SEW ME!!! I am soooooo a 1, but would love to learn!
Shawna. says
SEW ME!
Unfortunately, I’m totally about 3 on the sewing ability scale. I would love to get better though! I have a whole list of items to sew for my twins coming next spring!
melanie says
SEW ME!!! I’d say I’m a 5 or a 6. I’m a little rusty since my 31 year old sewing machine is old and rusty. This would be such a wonderful Christmas gift and just in time with so many DIY wedding items to make! Thanks for a chance!
Shanda says
SEW ME! I’m gonna give myself a 5. I can’t sew clothes, but I do make my own patterns for bags and I made the bed skirt and curtain for my apartment in grad school. Right now I’m on a stocking kick. ‘Tis the season, I guess! Here’s hoping!!!
Ann says
sew me!
Amanda H says
Sew Me Please!!! I’m probably a 4. Done quite a few quilts and ventured out into some pretty nifty designs. Tried making a dress for my 4 year old daughter…didn’t turn out quite like I though it would :( But that’s what grandma is for, right???
Cynthia says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 6 or 7 – above average, but not advanced.I used to make all sorts of things (curtains, bags, clothing from a pattern, costumes), but sadly I haven’t been able to machine sew anything for nearly 2 years now D:
shokufeh says
SEW ME! I’m maybe around a 5 or 6, though a rusty version of such.
Tina Jones says
About a 3-5. Have made a quilt, terrible about lining up the seams!
Lauren says
sew me!!
