***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 H says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 6-7. I once hemmed a wedding dress ;)!

Brandy says

Anne says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 3. Or maybe I’m kidding myself.

My expertise hovers around a 2. I’ve sewed a costume (took me 5 days but I did it!) and hemmed curtains. Would love to get more confidence!
Leah Do says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 2 or 3… many many calls to my mom when I borrow her machine…
Joslyn S says

Abi says
Sew Me! I would like to think I’m an 8 but truthfully I’m probably a 6. I can figure it out but it might not look exactly like the picture :)
Lauren Millay says
“SEW ME!!” I am a three! I could make a “wonky bag” and I was the go to girl in college for stitching up an armpit blow out. :)
danielle m. says

Kelsey says
SEW ME!
Thanks for the giveaway. I am personally a 1 (or 0), but my sisters-in-law are fairly good, and I’m sure they could teach me a thing or two. This would be a fantastic present for them!
Catharine says
SEW ME!!!
I used to be a 9. That was before our 4 boys arrived and we started homeschooling. I’m a rusty 6 now with a broken machine.
I learned everything I know about sewing from my Mom. She’s a +20 – sewing everything from bags, dresses- wedding dresses!, curtains-like hotel lobby fancy curtains, you name it she’s done it. And she’s done it all while raising 7 kids and keeping house and putting 3 course meals on the table every night!
Nevermind compared to her I’m more like a 1.
Evelyne says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 2! I’ve used a sewing machine before, but it was like 15 years ago!
Katherine S says
SEW ME!On the continuum I am probably about a 4. I mostly re-purpose old things but I would like to try a stab at sewing a dress soon!
Cathy says
SEW ME! Probably a 2!
Patricia says
SEW ME!
My mother started me sewing when I was 3 with those shoe lace cards, then gave me to a baby Singer sewing machine for Christmas when I was 6… So, I’m thinking an 8 or 9…
susan akers says
Sew me!
About a 2.675! Anything that is “sew” and “easy” is my kind of sewing machine!!

SEW ME!!! I’m probably a 4. Ok at reading patterns and putting together a costume or something, but I do really well with household projects like pillows, drapes, book slings, etc….
Hoping to win this for my big sis, who wants to expand her skills!
Andrea Horton says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 1, I need help! I don’t currently own a sewing machine but would love one so I can make fun things with it!
Helene says
I’ve been teaching myslef on my grandmother’s old singer – it’s ancient and only sews a straight line! I would love a new one! I made christmas vests for my boys so I guess I am a 5 :)
Laina says

Kimberly says
SEW ME!!
I’m maybe around a 3 – my next project is sewing a dog bed for our growing puppy!
Katherine says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3 or 4. I can make basic things on my own, but my mom helps me a lot with anything remotely complicated.
Jessica says
SEW ME!!!
I am a 1. Probably less than that. But with a baby on the way and so many cute things to make I have been wanting to learn!!!
Karin says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m around a 5-6. Room for lots of improvement!
Liz says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 2, maaaaybe a 3..if I can get the darn thing threaded! I totally blame the machine for being at least twice as old as I am.
Sarah says
Sew me!!!
I’m probably a 2. I can operate a sewing machine but can’t actually create anything…
kyle says
“SEW ME!”
PLEEEEEASE!
I’m probably a 3. I’ve made a skirt and a couple of halloween costumes, a few pillows, and some drapes but all sewn by hand because I NEVER HAD A SEWING MACHINE! AHHHHHH!
Ogi says
SEW ME! I think I would get a 2 for my sewing skills, but a good sewing machine would be a good start. :)
Judy S says
SEW ME!!! Probably a 1, but I can sew a little bit! Would love this machine to sew for my grandchildren!!!
Queen Bee says
SEW ME!!!

amy alday says
sew me!
i’m probably a 6-7. all self-taught, so i’m sure i’m doing all wrong :)
Audrey says
SEW ME! I love to sew, but I’m not excellent at it. Maybe a 4? My 1980s Kenmore bit the dust recently so I’m a little out of practice. Hope I win!
Adrienne says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2 or so:)
Azar says
SEW ME!
I’d probably rank at about a 2. I are sewing noob.
Allie says
Sew Me! I am a novice at best but it’s the effort that counts – right!?
Courtney says
Sew me! I’m a little like Sherry. I can sew a straight line to cover some pillows, but nothing fancy…yet. I’m working on it.
Judy Laughrey says
I rank myself a cautious 5. Wearing out my current machine making quilt tops since retiring. Beware it is addictive and many men are quilting too,John. If you try it and get hooked SEW ME! Sorry for the pun. I could not resist.
Judy
Renee says
Sew Me!!!
I would say I am a 1 with aspirations of growing towards a 10! I just need the right tool and this would be perfect! I have dreams of sewing our living room curtains and halloween costumes for our kids someday!
