***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…

SEW ME!
I’d say a 2.5. I could sew a wonky bag, but at least some of the time I’d forget to leave one side open and make a wonky pillow case instead!
Michelle says
SEW ME!
I’d say I am about a six. I don’t like to follow patterns so I make things my own way. I stick to curtains and pillows. They are pretty forgiving items.
Christine says
Sew me! I’m about a 4… I once made a hideous pillow in middle school
Mette says
SEW ME – maybe a 4 on a lucky day, but I’m dying to improve my skills.
Wai Peng says
SEW ME!!
I like to think I’m a 3 but I’m probably closer to a 1!
Abby says
Sew me! I’m a 1. I can hardly load a bobbin…
Barbara says
SEW ME!
I am a ten in sewing. I make my grandson’s Halloween costumes and sew him something for every birthday and every holiday. Need a new machine…keeping my fingers crossed. :)
Ciara Fitzgibbon says
I’d say I’m about a four after going to a quilting club this year :P I donated my sewing machine to the club So would be over the moon if I won this!
Laura Gagermeier says
SEW ME!
I am about a 2. I am just learning and cannot seem to get the concept of sewing in a straight line…ruffles cover up multitude of sins eh… uneven hems. I think I would do better with a wonderful machine like this. :-)
Leanne says
SEW ME! I love love love sewing.
I am about a 7ish… I can make many things (and have!) but my favourite way to sew is to eyeball something, give myself a “yep, you can SEW (haha, I crack myself up!!) do that” pep talk and go for gold…. no pattern, just fabric, cut, sew… sometimes a pin or two, but usually not. It scares the beejeezers outta my mom when I go crazy and start cutting up fabric, but I love the freedom of creativity!
PS, love this giveaway, and really appreciate the international factor :) Muchas gracias!
Kristin in KC says
SEW ME! I’m about a 6 and I could really use a new machine to take me an 7 or 8!
SEW ME!!! says
I’m probably around 3 … just a couple of days ago my mom’s ancient (maybe older than me) sewing machine gave out while I was using it… (may have been the operator, we’ll never know) so, this would be an awesome win all around :)
I truly enjoy your blog!
Happy Holidays ~~~
Snezana says
SEW ME! I used to do a bit of sewing with my mom and granny growing up, they had mad sewing skills! Me… not so much (2), but if I had a brand-spanking new Singer like this, who knows… my daughters might get lucky with some homemade matching outfits:)
Crystal says
SEW ME!!
I do believe that I would be in the negative numbers – I am horrible!
Lisa says
Sew Me! I’d be a 5.
Susan says
Name is Susan … obviously :}
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
Now I’m probably like a 5. I used to be better, when I was in theatre especially my early years I did a good number of sewing projects. I have a skirt that I still wear. I am way out of practice though but I keep wanting to get started again.
Sara says
SEW ME! I’d give myself a five…I could sew (and have) a decent bag, but no blindfolds here! I need my peepers. :)
Kate N. says
SEW ME!!! I would be a 1 on the sewing skills chart. My only experience is from a class in Junior High. I would love to learn so I could snaz up my house!
Kim says
SEW ME!
Between a 3 and a 4 typically…but it depends upon the project. Certain projects I’ve done over and over again, I’d say a 6+, but on any new project, definitely more like a 3-4. I’m not very ambitious and have mostly stuck to smaller projects, but this baby would help push me out of my comfort zone!
Beth says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 0, but I’ve asked for a sewing machine this year for Christmas, so maybe you can make my wish come true?!
Liz Wilson says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 when it comes to seeing,but I would love to learn!
Alison says
See Me!!! I’m probably a 4, which disappoints my 10+ mother I’m sure ;)
Allison says
SEW ME! I’m about a 5.5. I sewed 4 stewardess halloween costumes, sans pattern one year. Including piping. That being said… there were a lot of wonky hems. I’d love to win!
Josh says
SEW ME!!!
I’m probably about a 2 or 3. I’ve made table clothes and hemmed drapes and other little things but certainly have a long way to go if I’m every going to do anything spectacular like tailor my own clothes or make a bedsheet.
PS. You guys are awesome. xoxo :)
cembo says
SEW ME!
Personally I’m definitely “0” on sewing but I help my lovely wife with drawing some patterns and solving out issues of her sewing projects…And let me say, I think I’m pretty good at this:O)
Tammy says
Sew Me!! I’m about an 8-9.
Had a great teacher.
Jess H. says
SEW ME!!!
I’m a 2-3… did a nice set of napkins for my mom in Jr. High but I think that’s about it.
Melanie says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 3, but improving with every project!
Jennifer Cooper says
Sew Me! I would say a 4, simple straight lines, no zippers or button holes for this gal.
Caz says
Sew Me! I’m a 1. Boo! But thank you for an international giveaway!!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I would rank my sewing skills a 7 or 8. I have been sewing since high school and love it. I am 28 and currently waiting the arrival of our first baby in less than 2 months!! We are missionaries in Japan indefinitely, teaching English and only brought 4 bags with us when we came. I would totally love to have a good sewing machine over here. A 1968 Singer Fashion-mate was found at the church here and I am currently using that, but it’s an antique :)
Melissa says
Sew Me! I’m probably about a 3 – I honed my sewing skills as a kids trying to make five stones (it’s a traditional Asian game, using 5 small pouches filled with beans/seeds), using my grandma’s old Singer. I’ve since outgrown the game, but I still keep my precious handmade five stones with me, and I can’t wait to teach my kids how to play them!
PS: I live in Singapore and I LOVE your site! Wish I could go for your book signings in the US, and I’m glad that I could get your book on Amazon! More international giveaways please!! :D
jenb says
Sew me! I was about a 3.5 until I picked up some great tips on Pinterest, which renewed my enthusiasm! Now, I’m closer to a 5!
Emma says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 but I really want to learn! I’ve never owned a sewing machine before. Keeping my fingers crossed! <3
Katina says
Sew Me!
Probably a 3 I have sewed a few baby quilts for gifts a baby won’t judge if things are slightly off or crooked :)
Brittany Logan says
SEW ME!
I am a 3.2…. I can sew but I am slow and I need a TON of guidance when following a pattern.
Danielle says
SEW ME!!
I would say I’m a 2. I haven’t sewn much of anything in 10 years!
Sarah says
Sew Me!
I’d probably rank myself between a three and a four. As long as I have some idea of where I’m wanting to go I can usually pull something off.
Tracey says
SEW ME!
I’d probably rate about a 2 (once I figured out how to get the thread in it). The last time I sewed was at school about 20 years ago!! Been dying to have another go so would LOVE this prize.
Tara Sherman says
Sew me!
Gotta be unoriginal and say a 3.
aparna says
SEW ME!
I have so many projects & Ideas collected, I would love to have this machine!
Skill wise – I would say I am a 2!
Terrea says
SEW ME!
On a scale, I’d say I’m about a 3. I haven’t sewn anything since middle school but my bag back then was pretty fly. (toot toot) Lol.
Frances says
Sew me! My sewing skills are quite good. I’d say about 9 – because there’s always room to improve! But I’ve just made my sister’s wedding dress, so I’m feeling like a bit of an over-achiever :-)
Frances says
Oh and hooray for international giveaways! Yay!
Leona says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3 & am sew proud when I get a simple project (like our curtains!) completed.
Shosh says
Sew me!
I think I’m about a 5. I took a couple of dressmaking classes, but they weren’t in English (my first language), so there was a lot of looking at what the instructor was doing.
Honestly, though – Youtube has tutorials for ANYTHING, so sewing is very, very accessible. Button holes still scare me, though : )
Kristilyn says
SEW ME!
Hmmm, I am probably like a 2, and just maybe a 3 on a good day.
Laura says
SEW ME! I sew at about a five, maybe. I made a 1880’s dress. But fitting is a problem. I sure would love to give this machine to my sister.
Cindy says
SEW ME!
I think I would be around a 7 in the sewing department. Need a pattern and clear instructions. Also, wine helps.
Jennifer says
SEW ME!
Hmmm… I’m gonna have to say I’m a 3 too.
