***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…

Marina says
SEW ME! I’d I am a 5… working hard to get better at it! Love from Brazil!
katryna atkins says
Sew me! I hover right around a 3. I can sew, but you cannot always tell what I was going for…
Tirsa says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a two or a two and a half. I actually “made” curtains for one of our bedrooms. OK, I sewed straight lines to hem all sides for a neat look. :-)
Amy says
SEW ME!!
-1 is my skill level. I come from a long line of tailors and seamstresses, clearly I lost in the ‘sewing’ gene pool.
Rachael says
SEW ME!
I’m a total beginner. If I can make a straight line with a machine and not get sew my thumb it’s a good day.
Angie Becker says
Sew me!! I’m a 1…..but I’d love to win a machine so I can learn more!!
Mary says
SEW ME! I am a 1 but want to learn to be a 10!
amr says
SEW ME! I am a very modest stage 2 sewer.
Jeannie says
SEW ME!! I’d say maybe a 2- I haven’t sewn for years! I wouldn’t mind starting up again with a brand new machine!
Amy Y says
SEW ME! I am a 2 with moments of 3ness. Thanks.
Jordan says
SEW ME!!! I’m definitely a 1 :) Very interested in venturing into the sewing world and this would be a perfect tool just for that!
Erin says
SEW ME…any of the great projects I have pinned on my craft board starting with new curtains for the dining room.
Maryellen says
SEW ME!!! I am probably about a 4…used to sew some but I haven’t had a machine for years. Would love to start anew with a fabulous new machine!
Maya says
SEW ME! I am a 1 but need to learn!
tracy says
SEW ME!
I think I would rate myself an 7-8. I’ve been sewing for about 3 years now, and can follow a pattern. I most recently made my 2 year old’s Halloween costume: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34894435@N06/8079947894/
Amy says
Sew me! I’m about a 4 or 5 — I love making quilts but anything that’s more complicated than sewing squares together is beyond me.
Leah says
SEW ME!!!
On the skills continuum (<- strange word spelling, by the way) I would rank myself a 3 as well… I have a million projects saved to start working on. I am currently saving money for a sewing machine. My goal is to get good enough at it to make my children's baby/toddler clothing.
Lisa says
SEW ME! Definitely a 1 – My Mum is a 9 though so I would really like to learn.
HaB says
SEW ME!!!
and, I am probably somewhere between an 6 and an 8. I can create without a pattern, but am much better when I have a pattern to follow. :-)
Lee says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a 3.5 to 4. They tried so hard to pound good sewing techniques into my head in freshman home ec class, but I guess it hasn’t stuck over the years! Ready to try again though!
Clara L. says
SEW ME!
my daughter just turned 1 and i need this machine for the many projects i have in mind
Stacey says
Sew me!
I guess about a 3. Know how to do it just havn’t done it much
Rae says
SEW ME!
I’d call myself a 3. I’ve made a couple wonky quilts and purses for my girls, but I guess Im getting better each time!
N Shirley says
Sew Me! I USED to be a 10, now I am lucky if I get anything sewn at all! Would love a new machine though- Nancy
Hannah says
SEW ME. I think i’m probably a 3… wonky bags are my specialty!
Joan says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 on the sewing scale.
Janet S says
Sew me!
I can sew. Started making quilt tops this year.
Gwen says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 2 – I once made terrible drawstring bags for Christmas treats, but I did it with a teeny $25 sewing machine from Target. I didn’t realize how much easier it could be until I borrowed my mom’s sewing machine, but I still haven’t gotten a decent one.
(And thanks for hosting the giveaway!)
Jess says
SEW ME!
I feel like I’m a 4 – I can use the machine, but I’m not sure how to thread it or fix it if it breaks…
mary says
I’m about a 6 at sewing, I never follow a pattern (I find it tedious to say the least), but my projects usually turn out just fine. I’ve had my Husqvarna since, let’s see… 13 Christmases ago (I was a crafty 10 year old). It has sustained a lot of abuse over the years and is pretty much held together with tape now. so.. SEW ME!!
Jenny says
Sew me…I am a ONE even though I have had a sewing machine for about four years. I received it as a Christmas present but have never even taken it out of the box. At a loss as to how to begin and there are no classes where I live.
This one sounds like something even I could master!!
tiersa says
Sew me! I also couldn’t sew my way out of a bag, but I want to learn how to!
Gaby says
SEW ME!!
I am definitely a beginner! I have no idea what to do with a sewing machine but have been wanting to learn!! This would be the perfect gift for me!! :)
Laura says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 0 on a machine but maybe a 3 by hand. Help!
Sarah H says
sew me! I’m about a 5 with complicated things!
Juliet says
SEW ME!
Hmm. Well I guess generously I’d give myself a 6. I make my own clothes from self-drafted patterns, but I definitely haven’t mastered it and still need quite a bit of guidance and make plenty of mistakes!
Sally says
SEW ME!
I haven’t touched a sewing machine since 1998, but I’m dying to get back into action!
Danielle G says
SEW ME!
I am somewhere around a three or four. I have made myself PJ pants once.
Stephanie says
I’m in the 3 range…can do basic alterations but sometimes realize I’ve been overly ambitious.
Michelle H. says
SEW Me!! I’d say a 3…maybe a 4 on a good day :). I’ve made crib bedding, drapes, bags, … basics :).
Rose says
SEW ME!
I used to sew all the time. Just basic stuff.
Lil says
SEW ME! I would rank myself about a 6…I’m pretty comfortable with home dec stuff (straight lines), blankets, pillows, duvet covers, curtains…I even made my little a dress…but the one pair of adult pajama pants I made were kind of sad – the crotch hung down the knees. ha!
Thanks for the chance.
Gina M. says
SEW ME!I’m a 4 – I’ve sewn but more often I use the iron-on glue seam tape to make everything. It’s probably more of a hassle than sewing!
Jennie S. says
Sew Me!
I would say maybe a 4 – still working to improve!
Kimberly M says
Sew me! I’d say a 5. i love making little gifts for my nieces.
Kimberly says
SEW ME! maybe a 6 or 7, I’ve been sewing since I was about 12, but I don’t do too much of it any more. I made a quilt for my nephew when he was born, but right now both my sister and I are expecting so I have 2 more baby quilts to make by spring. This new Singer would really help with that.
Cali says
Sew Me!! I’m probably a 4 and I’ve been trying to make more things lately.
Mary says
SEW ME!
Growing up, my mom sewed a lot of our clothes … some good,
some not so :-) She had an awesome old Singer, circa 1940-50,
that went in a cabinet and dropped down for storage. That’s
what I learned on. Still have it, but would love an upgrade!
Christy says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 5. I can follow a simple patter or make my one VERY simple pattern, but if it gets too complex, probably best that I have supervision or things will get wonky.
Vicki says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 3 just like Sherry. I used to sew a lot but haven’t done it for a long time so a lovely new sewing machine would be a great way to get back into it! :)
