***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…

Julie Jacobsen says
SEW ME! I’m a solid 3 but I come from a family of 10s so it is high time I have a better machine! Thanks for another fun giveaway and Merry Christmas!
Sarah Fletcher says
SEW ME!!! I’m a 1 – I have no sewing machine to improve my skills on!

Krystal says
Sew Me!
I would say I am a 2! I enjoy sewing but would love a nice machine to practice on!
Allie says
SEW ME!
I am a 2 wannabe 10. Maybe a win will inspire me, I certainly have plenty of projects at the stalled sewing stage.
Kristy says
SEW ME!! I’m probably a 7 on the continuum – my grandmother was a seamstress and I’m still using her 40+ year old machine!
Megan says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably around a 5 or 6, and would really love a new machine!! Thanks!
Mary Duff R says
Sew Me!
I am a 1. I would love to have my own machine so my mother-in-law could teach me.
Kristi W says
SEW ME!!
I am about a 6. I can follow simple patterns and do simple quilts.
Julie S says
Sew me! I am at about a 2… wonky, wonky pillows can be made!
Elizabeth@ Food Ramblings says
SEW ME! 1.5, but I have so many projects that I could use a sewing machine for!
Sara says
Sew me!! I rank myself a 0 at sewing but I really want to learn!
Leonie says
SEW ME!
I’m a 6 in my head -which leads to some _interesting_ results as my hands are more like a 3!
Christie says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 3…! :)
Jill C says
SEW ME!
i guess i’d put myself around a 3 as well… i’ve made a couple of wool diaper soakers from old sweaters. now, i have to make my middle child a Kermit hat for xmas. #sewanxious
Daryl R says
Sew Me…I’m probably a 2, pick me and I’ll find out for sure! :o)
Nic says
SEW ME!!!
Definitely a 1
Caitlin says
SEW ME! I’d say i’m a 3. I can sort of sew something that’s not too complicated, and took a sewing class in high school. But lately I’ve been finding myself reaching for the iron-stitching whenever possible (because I don’t have a sewming machine.) I would definitely use this and work myself up to a 10! I want to be the mom that sews her kid’s halloweens constumes someday!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 or 3… would love to improve if I was lucky enough to win!
Allie Wachter says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a level two…I’ve made pillows and curtains and am making my first tree skirt for Christmas! All made on a little tiny Shark sewing machine!
Amy says
SEW ME!! :) I’m a 1, but would love to learn my way up to a 5 or 6.
Sofie says
SEW ME! I’m a proficient beginner, I’d say. ;-)
stjarna84 says
SEW ME!
I’d give myself a 3… managed a baby blanket 3 years ago, but it certainly had that… erhh… ‘made with love’ look about it.
Alyssa says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 3. My mother is amazing; I would be better if I wasn’t so stubborn and listened to her!
RJ Ness says
SEW ME!!! I am a beginner, but with a new baby, I’d love to sew more things for him!
Anne says
Sew me!
I’m an 8!
Claire A says
SEW ME! I’m sort of a beginner-intermediate. Um, a three? I sewed my son’s Halloween costume last year and it was very recognizable when I was done.
Claire says
Sew Me!
Traci says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 5. I’ve been sewing since I was 6 years old and learned the tricks from both my mom and my grandmother. It’s something I want to teach my daughter to do as well, since most things can be fixed with a quick sew instead of buying new.
Terri says
SEW ME! I am probably around a three, just like Sherry! I would love to do more sewing, but my old machine is not helping matters.
Amanda M. says
Sew Me! I would love to one day be a 10, though right now I consider myself a 1.0, barely. I have a creative mindset when it comes to clothes, I’m always thinking of how to improve upon some of my much loved items. One day I’ll get the time to learn and finally put my ideas into practice!
Hannah says
SEW ME! Definitely a 1 but I’m excited to learn!
Susan Evans says
“SEW ME”!!! I have sewed since I was about 18….so I should have close to a few decades under my belt, but my sewing was sporadic and now I’d love to have a new fancy machine to finish the window treatments for my house and I have an upcoming wedding to sew a flower girl dress for….On a scale of 1-10 I think I could pass for an 8.5
My skills are not bad at all but I’m not an expert.
Caitlin says
SEW ME!
I can sew after taking sewing classes back in middle school, but I don’t know how much I remember!
Ashley says
Sew Me! Having mastered the art of the glue gun, sewing beyond my current skill level of a big old zero is definitely a resolution for 2013!
Lauren says
SEW ME!!
I’ll go with a 1. Working on tackling my first t-shirt quilt right now (using my sister for major help…and her sewing machine)!! Sherry, you have definitely got me beat on this one!!
Julie Woods says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 1
Would love to learn to sew!
Abbie says
SEW ME!! Probably a 1 since I haven’t sewn since high school…I guess not having a machine to use doesn’t help :) Here’s to hoping for a win!
Rebekah says
Sew Me! I think I’m a 3 right now. I am still learning, but I did just make my sister a quilt for her baby shower and it came out better than expected!
Suzanne says
I’m about a 5…I’ve made some super simple garments and curtains, but that is all. My sewing machine is vintage and about 50 pounds…I’d love a more portable one!
SJ says
SEW ME! Haven’t touched a sewing machine since college, but I think i could pick it back up quickly
Amelinda says
SEW ME!
I think I might be about a 4? I use the machine for mending all the clothes that get holes in them as well as making things like pillow-cases and Halloween costumes.
Marie W says
“SEW ME!” I must confess, I’m a 1 when it comes to sewing, but my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother were all 10’s. I have a 17 year old daughter who loves fashion and has the potentional to be a 10 – but due to my lack – we have no sewing machine… This would be awesome for her!
Lauren says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2!
maura says
SEW ME!
I’m a dreadful sewer, but I’d like to improve!
Ro Donner says
SEW ME!!!! I love to sew, but have to admit I’m not a pro in any sense of the imagination. Maybe a 4.1…lol. I can hack something out to be passible and enjoy doing it, but would never make it in the fashion industry. Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome machine!
Julie says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 1
Thank you!
Jenn says
SEW ME!
I am either a 1 or a negative number. I have sewn a few things, but I always break the needle at least once and get VERY frustrated!
Cindy says
SEW ME!
I would say it depends on the project ~ quilty related patchwork I can rock! Clothing…. not so much!
