***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…

I´m right now at 38 weeks in my first pregnancy, nesting modo on, and making pregnancy pillow for my little one like the full hormones crazy person at 38 weeks…and planning to make his beddings seets, and so on…so i need it and quick!!

And about sewing skills….it´s depends: i´m about a 6-7 for everyday use home-decorating things, and maybe a 5 for kids clothing?
And about 8-9 in stuffed animals and things for babys…yes, i´m humble like that! :P
Thank´s for the worlwide giveaway!!
somerset says
sew me! i learned the basics in junior high, and sew on a button every 5 years, so classify me as a beginner! but there’s lots i’d like to try if i had the real deal like this lovely machine!
V. says
SEW ME!
I have a dream….that one day I will be able to sew all my ideas on the “to sew”- list! Starting from pillow cases to evening growns:-)At the moment I am a 4 with a broken sewing maschine, so this would be just a perfect timing to win the Singer!

Elizabeth says
SEW ME!
such a 2. I tend to break my mom’s machine every time I try to sneak my way to a patch or a pillowcase. I have been banned! :)
Elizabeth says
SEW ME!!! I am such a 2. (On second thought, this might be generous). I tend to break my mom’s machine every time I try to sneak my way to a patch or a pillowcase. I have been banned! :)
Skye says
SEW ME! I’m probably around a 3 but I would love to build that up to a solid 7 one day!!
Kelly says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 7, my friends and family would probably score me at a 10. I’ve never had a brand new machine though!
Lizzy says
SEW ME! I’m a solid 5 with needle-and-thread, but have never used a machine!
Pallavi says

Amy says
Sew me!!
Definitely a 1 or 2, but I’d love to improve.

I am a 1 but want to be a 10.
Aoife D says
SEW ME!!
Definately a 1 or if possible a 0.

SEW ME! I am a wiz at the machine and at making things. As for the seamstressing skill set…I have some work to do.
Aoife says
SEW ME!
I’m an 8. My Grandmother taught me when I was tiny. I would love a great machine to help me get to 10 to make her proud, she died this year age 102.
Marcy Lendaro says
SEW ME! I would rank myself as a 3 alone, but with my mom (who is a 10 easily!) in the room, that might bump me to a 3.5, since she’s got my back before things get too wonky! Haha
Melinda says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3… maybe a 2 :) But I want to learn more!
Stacy says
Sew Me!

SEW ME!!!
I’d say I’m a 3 on a good day… but I’d like to think I could be a 6 or 7 if I had a nice machine to practice with!
Jessah says

Kismet says
Sew me.
I am very much an interested novice.
Katerina says
SEW ME!

SEW ME!
I am propably a 1 but i just need an opportunity!!!

Marisol says
I’m definately a 1 but my my mom is a total 20!! I would want this for her.
Lavanya says
SEW ME!
I’d say I am a 2.5, but I would really like to give this to my mother. She isn’t very internet savvy, but we used to have this super old-school sewing machine when I was a kid and she made me this amazing dress which I wore for a really long time until it got worn! She was so embarrassed, but I loved it.
Anyway, it’s my first time commenting so I totally understand if I don’t get it! Plus, 8000 comments and counting — WHOAAAAAAAAA.
I’d love to see mom sew again! She hasn’t done so in a long while. Also, I’d really love to start again! So I really hope we get this. :)
Sonia says
SEW ME!
Oh God! This would make my mom the happiest mom/woman/person on earth!! She’s a pro, a 10 a least.
Lots of love, I read you everyday from Spain!
Andrea says
SEW ME!
I think I’m around a 5. I can sew easy stuff like bags and pillow cases and underwear but failed miserably in the past when trying to do something more… elaborate ;D
Sheesh, I’d love to win. I wanted to get myself a sewing machine for Christmas but then my dog got sick and I spent all the money I had saved on him.
xo,
Andrea (with thankfully-much-better puppy Hamlet)
Laura says
SEW ME!
Hmm, somewhere around the low end of the score sheet for sure! I can put in an ordinary zip but I’m scared off by the invisible ones. I’ll give myself a 3 or a 4.
Tracy says
I would love to win this to SEW ME a few new things!
I would say that I am a 1, but that is only because I don’t have a sewing machine yet, but have been wanting to get one because I have found so many things that I want to have a go at.
Kate says
SEW ME,
I’m a one. No, scratch that, I’m less than a one. I once made a skirt and wore it to school and it fell apart and I had to staple the fabric around myself to keep it up. Which was, shockingly, far more effective than the stitches I’d put in with my mother’s ancient over locker. So yeah, a 0.5 maybe.
Diane says
SEW ME !
I am a 1 but have recently started learning with a friend so… 1 and a half ?
Robin says
SEW ME! I’m a… 2, maybe? I can sew on a button, and that’s about it. I dream of being able to sew, and all of the things I could do with a machine!
Chiara says
SEW ME!!!
Definitely a 1
Emma Dekker says
SEW ME!!
I would say I am a 2.. Because for now I am definitely a 1 but I believe I’ve got potential!! :P
Great giveaway you guys! :D
Abbie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 7 or 8, I learned as a little kid, and have continued on and off as a hobby ever since.
So glad caught this giveaway with the comments still open! I need to get a new machine, and this would actually ship to Spain!! Hope I win! :)
Caroline says
SEW ME!!
About a 6, with the help of my Mum, about a 3 without her.
Nicky Rose says
SEW ME! I’d rate myself as a 3 or 4- I made a load of fabric goody bags for the kiddies at our wedding, they were reversible and really easy but looked so effective!
