***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 am definitely a 1 – but it’s one of my goals for 2013 to learn to use a sewing machine, so actually owning one would be a big step in the right direction.
Jo says
SEW ME!
This is such a coincidence. In the past few days I have been looking at various fabric based DIY tutorials and wondering where to find a sewing machine so that I can actually try them out. I’m a probably a -1 on the scale. Just dreaming of some pretty!
Elizabeth Mitchell says
SEW ME!!!
I’d say i’m around a 3, i hand stitched our stockings last year and made many pillowcases with my mom as a kid.
Also I’m so glad this is an international giveaway, we are stationed in Italy and it’s fun to get in on the goodies every once in awhile!
Brandy says
SEW ME!
I’ve made a few small things sewing, including said wonky bag.
Renee says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a 0.5 :D
I sewed a floppy Girlfriend (remember that 90s girl band??) hat in high school complete with a pink plastic flower attached to the side!
I’d love to be a 5 – imagine the pillows I could make!!! I could change them each day!
Renee says
Oh I just realised it was an Australian band – so check the hats out here

Martha Tsapatori says
SEW ME !!!
I dare say I am close to 1 as far as my sewing skills are concerned, but I ma keen to learn !
Marry Christmas !
melinda says
SEW ME! I’d say about a 7, maybe an 8. Fond memories of my mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law, each sewing everything from clothes to curtains, and i picked up the motivation and skills from those lovely ladies.
Mary Thurman says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m about a 4. My sewing machine has been broken for the last year and I have so many little projects I would love to finish! Winning this would be awesome. :)

Sarah says
SEW ME!
How exciting – an offer that gets shipped worldwide (hurray!)
I’m definitely a 2-3 on the sewing scale (oh the shame), I’d like to make curtains and cushions for my house though, as I’ve got some pretty fabric stored away for years, but need a good sewing machine to do so!
Erin says
Sew me! I’ve gotta be a 1 as much as I would like to be a 10. That machine sounds like a dream though!
Isabel King says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 2 who thinks I am a 7… In my mind things always look easy and straightforward on Pinterest but in reality it always ends in scrap material…
Lindsey says
SEW ME!!!! I’d say I’m a 6. I sew lots of my little girl’s clothes. I can follow a pattern even make my own patterns. However there’s always room for improvement.
Beth Kyle says
SEW ME! I am probably around a 5. I actually just looked at this sewing machine last week and suggested to the hubs that it would be a great Christmas present! (yeah right!) lol
Loretta says
Sew Me!!! I love the Singer with all the cool buttons and lights–would be the push I need to stop saying I should and just Do!
Susie G says
Sew Me….
Please!
I’m a 5ish, hopefully approaching a 6. I love sewing but want to be a bit more adventurous, there are only so many cushion covers you can make, right?
Maya says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 5– I can whip out something simple, but the seams might be a bit wonky.
So glad for an international giveaway! (I live in Israel)
Nicole says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 3. Maybe a 2.5…
Pati says
SEW ME!
I would be about 2…I’ve already tried to learn the tricks, but still no luck with actually creating something from scratch!
Cate says
SEW ME!

Anouk says
SEW ME!
I think I am a 2, I want to start sewing but I don’t have a sewing machine and can’t afford one as I’m a student, so I can only practice when I’m at my parents. For now, I taught myself how to knit but I would love to sew as well!
Karyl says
SEW ME!
I’m a very rusty 4….

Ferguson says
SEW ME!
I’m a -10 (I’m actually freaked out by sewing machines), but my mom is a 10, and her sewing machine just went kaput! She is now on a mission to find another one, so it would be nice to give her a nice machine!
Michelle says
Sew Me! I’m a 1 looking to move up- I have a baby girl and something about that makes me want to sew little dresses!
Claire O'Connor says
SEW ME! I’m about a 4.5 on the skillometer…
Maya says
SEW ME!
:)
im about a 6 and i want to improve before i leave for university
i would love a new sewing machine to help me reach a 10 :)
jessi says
Sew me!!! I am a 3 just like Sherry. I finally got rid of my busted old sewing machine, which was a yard sale find. Time for an upgrade!
Stefanie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably right there with Sherry at about a 3. I took a sewing class in school in fifth and sixth grade and still use the apron I created there when I’m making chocolates. But that has been a while and I have not had the pleasure of sewing much since. I would love to pick it up again though.
Bonnie says
Sew me! I consider myself a solid 5 when it comes to sewing. I have dreams of being a 10!
Françoise Lecours says
I guess you could say I’m a 8 , I have been sewing since I was 10- 12 years old
I can pretty munch make anything . I bought my sewing machine when I was 15 years old with my summer job money and to this day still sewing with it.
Sew Me , I could use a top of the line singer machine to replace my old one !
Steph says
SEW ME!
I think I would be maybe a 2. I could turn the machine on and sew two pieces of fabric together, but need a little bit of practice to make anything decent! Which would come in handy as I have just bought some fabric to make a curtain for the laundry :)
sarah says
Definitely a 1 but want to learn!
Hurriyet says
SEW ME!
I am about a 6. I did lots of sewing when my children were little. I want it for my daughter.
Liz says
Sew me! I am between a 0 and a 1 but really want to learn.
Rebekah says
Sew me! Put my common sense, my “anything can be redone” attitude, and my mom looking over my shoulder together & I’d rate myself a 6. :)
cindy says
SEW ME!!! I am def a 1…never used a sewing machine before
Rebekah says
Sew Me! I’m like a 3, but I want to be at least a 5!
