***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…

Kim says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3 (emphasis on the PROBABLY).
Nancy says
SEW ME!
I’m a 5, but dream of doing better!
Lucia says
Sew me! I hope I am 1…certainly ready to be 2!
Cara says
SEW ME! I am at the sonny bag stage. Don’t even remind me of the dress I once made in home ec in high school! But, I love the idea of making baby blankets or skirts. It is on my bucket list.
Cara says
Oops I meant Wonky! Darn auto correct.
Kelli Wild says
I am a strong 2…SEW ME PLEASE!! My mom and sister are a full on 10…could sew a custom wedding gown….but as for me…I am just a 2 on a good day. To my mother’s great shame, I have been known to use hot glue or even duct tape vs. a needle and thread. I have 2 girls to pass the art along to (well, I’ll get my mom to help do that!). If we win, you could help save the next generation.
Amy says
SEW ME!
My mad sewing skills put me at about -5.
darlene mackamul says
SEW ME
I’d love to become a better sewer on this wonderful machine!
Heather says
SEW ME!
I’m totally a 3, much like Sherry. Though my claim to fame is the cape I sewed for my college’s dog mascot. She still wears it. Bam.
Patricia says
Sew me! Well I guess I’m about a 9, since I’vesewn for the public, and several weddings, but my sewing machine is broken and worn out.
Lauren says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3.5 – I can sew straight lines, so that means I have a lot of homemade napkins, curtains and pillows. My current sewing machine (a gift for college graduation – how hip am I?) is on the fritz, a new one would be awesome!
Farquist says
This machine is SEW ME!
I’m about a 2 right now, struggling with my old clunker of a machine. This machine might make me a….6???
Amanda says
I would say I’m a 3 as well. I can “sew”, but there are certainly select expletives used when doing so.
Charisse Andrews says
SEW ME!!! I need to make slipcovers and pillows. My machine just kicked the bucket so a new one would be wonderful.
Becky G says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1.
Jessica says
SEW ME!!
I’m definitely a 3, but aspiring to be an 8.
Jody says
SEW Me! I am totally a 1. Have not sewn since Home Ec in High School.
Judy G says
SEW ME!
I am about an 8. I like to sew and have been sewing for about 45 years, but my old, old Singer broke a couple years ago. This one looks very nice. Love Singers.
Paula R says
“SEW ME!”
I’ve made a bunch of my kids clothes and Halloween costumes along with some of my own stuff before kicking into gear on our curtains, and then reupholstered a couple sectionals. When times were tough I did the same as a home business along with a ton of mending.
Meg says
Sew Me!!! I am probably a 2, and that might be a little on the nice side. It’s always something I swear I’m going to learn. I’ve managed little projects here and there that have, how shall I say ‘homemade charm’ :)
Erin W says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5. If it doesn’t have to fit a person, I can sew it. :)
Doren says
SEW ME!!!
Oh, yes! I’m just like Sherry, at the moment the only thing I can do is “a wonky bag”, but sure I am going to improve my skills and do lovely things to my baby Aimée! Can’t wait for it!
Cory says
SEW ME!!!
I am probably a 5, but a sewing machine like this would definitely catapult me to an 8 or 9!!
Jessica says
“SEW ME!”
Oh, I would ADORE this! I have been sewing since I was 9 years old, absolutely my stress reliever!
Amanda says
SEW ME!! And my sewing skills are a ZERO!! But my pinterest inspirations require me to be about a 10….so I better start learning!
Sophie says
SEW ME!
As far as hand sewing with a good old fashioned needle and thread, I’m not that bad. Have been talking for years about getting a sewing machine and now that I am pregnant, I would love to try my hand at some baby’s clothes!
Krista says
“SEW ME!” I would have to rank myself somewhere in the 2-3 range…I know I can do it, I just need a better machine (;-)) and PRACTICE! Oh, and some more time for said practice would be nice, too. You don’t have a “more time” giveaway coming up anytime soon, do you?
Love your blog!
Sarah-Jane says
SEW ME!
I just bought my first yards of fabric, so I don’t know yet. I borrowed the 25-year old machine from my mum, so excited!
Anne says
SEW ME! (please)
I would say I am a 3, and I am trying hard to be higher than that! I asked Father Christmas for a new sewing machine since I am using my grandma’s Singer Featherweight from 1950–maybe you can be Father Christmas? :)
Missy says
SEW ME!
I am around a 5. I love to make fun projects for my girls and family.
Judy says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 6 on the sewing scale, but I bet I could get better with a great machine like this one. Mine is pretty old and I always wonder when it’s going to die, so I could use this!
Lisa K says
SEW ME!! I’m about a 2 but I could probably work all the way up to a 3 with this baby! :)
Janine says
Sew me! Maybe a 5?!?!?
Cindy says
This Singer machine is SEW ME! I still use my Singer that was a gift in 1975! Yes…I am a 10…don’t hate me’
Laura says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably a 1 but I have two fabulous chairs I’m dying to reupholster and this baby would come in handy!
Molly says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, have never used a sewing machine but have been wanting to learn!
Anne says
Sew me! I would say I am like a 6. I used to be a very good sewer. I even won an award for it in high school. How nerdy is that. But I can’t even remember how to thread a bobbin.
Alyssa V. says
SEW ME!
A 3. I am a home ec teacher, but don’t own my own sewing machine just yet!
Ellen says
SEW ME! My mom taught me to sew when I was little and I do pretty well now – dresses for my daughters, quilts and whatnot. I will say a 7. HOWEVER. I have been swallowing profanity at my machine all week because it is a broken-ish garage sale find and I would really love a new one! Pretty, pretty please!!!
Jen says
SEW ME. I’m probably a -1, totally flabbergasted by the process, but honestly one of my biggest regrets was not having my mom teach me how to sew!
Anne says
SEW ME! I am about a 6 – I took 3 years in high school and I use the skill for when I am feeling expecially crafty !
Ashley says
SEW ME!!!! I did pretty well in the sewing portion of Home Ec class back in the day, but I definitely have some room for improvement! I have my Grandmother’s old Singer sewing machine in a beautiful wooden cabinet…. And I’m TERRIFIED of destroying it! Maybe learning on a newer one might help? :)
Heather c says
Sew me!!
Maybe a 2, but I want to be a 10 SO bad!!
Elizabeth J says
SEW ME!
I love to sew and have been since high school. I continue to use the sewing machine I bought in 1976, a Sears Kenmore. It weighs a ton (all metal) and does not do any fancy stitches, so winning a fancy Singer sewing machine would be a dream.
Briana says
Sew me!
I am probably a 2. I have aspirations of becoming a 4 or a 5.
Hannah says
sew me!
I’d say I’m about a 2. I learned how to sew when I was a kid, but I haven’t touched anything since and following patterns just seems miserable to me. Maybe I should give it another try!
Nina says
Sew me!
I am guessing that I am a 2, I can thread a machine but after that I can’t do much. Hope to change that in the future as I am taking an upholstery class which includes a bit of sewing, so far I needed a lot of help with that part.
september says
SEW ME!
I am about a 4
i have made a few clothes and cushion covers
i love sewing :p
Ashlee says
I’m going to go with a 2. I have a sewing machine that I’ve had for 11 years now (I’m 27) and I can thread it, but sewing in a straight line or anything other than a wrist pillow, well, that’s yet to happen.
Nita E. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2… my mother-in-law has been helping me sew homemade costumes for my Disney running endeavors :)
Ruchi Vaidya says
SEW ME!
I might be a 1 considering I have never worked a sewing machine before……
