***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…

Stephanie says
Sew Me! probs a 3
Rachel says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 2. I can fake it pretty well, but still very tentative with it!
katie b. says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2. It was a necessity to learn because I’m so short and have to hem all of my pants.
Jen says
SEW ME!
I wouldn’t rate myself higher than a 3. Like Sherry, I can sew basic pillow cases and hem curtains, but I don’t know if I’d be ready to attempt anything much more complicated than that!
adriane says
Sew Me. I need a machine to start!
Ashley says
SEW ME! I’m at about a 5 – but I’m sure I would be motivated to improve with a new sewing machine :)
Rachel M. Reams says
SEW ME!
I am a three or a four, I think. I can make some simple projects (I make and sell custom dog collars), but I’m basically just using straight stitches and simple hems. Nothing fancy here!
Amy says
SEW ME!!! I am around a 3.5. I have made some halloween costumes and dress up stuff for the kids and a dog bed. I just wish I had more time so I could work up to being a 5 or more.
Nicole says
SEW ME!
I would rank myself a 4, I have made curtains and door covers- but nothing to complicated- yet ;) I mainly hand sew small projects. I do not own a sewing machine but do borrow one from time to time. I would love one of my own!
Lindsey says
SEW ME.
I am probably like a 3 curtains & pillows… is pretty much it.
Jennifer @ Celebrating Everyday Life says
SEW ME!
I’d say I am maybe a 5… I definitely have more passion than training but I sew a fair amount and love every minute of it! This machine is amazing and would be SUCH a blessing as I’m currently using my mom’s old machine which is at least 20 years old if not much older :-) Thanks for the opportunity!!!
Chrys says
SEW ME!
I am a 2, but full of project ideas that would require improving my skills and having a sewing machine.
Katie W says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 5. I can sew a bag…and even out some handles on it ;)
Elizabeth T. says
SEW ME!!
I would probably be a 5. I’ve made some basic things like pillowcases, quilts, bags, mittens, and a skirt or two but I’m pretty averaged compared to my sister and mom!
Kristen says
SEW ME! I am a 1-hope to be a 10 someday.
Jennifer Flagg says
SEW ME!
I would say I am somewhere between a 3 and a 5. I still need a little trial and error but my best accomplishment was when I sewed my own snuggie!! best thing when sick, hands down!
My main issue is the sewing machine, I have a hand me down that just cannot hold a thread. I hope I win!!
Laura says
SEW ME !!!

SEW ME! My sewing skills are around a 3.5 and I would LOVE to have a new sewing machine to make slipcovers for two old ottomans. I would also love to make some new throw pillows for my living room! Please SEW ME!
Mary D says
SEW ME!
Working on becoming an expert!

SEW ME!
I’m a 2.5. I sewed some cloth napkins recently — nice and easy straight lines!
Carol says
SEW ME
I am a three but want to become a nine like my mother!
Jenb says

Rachel says
Sew me! I am a 3.
Lori says
sew me…is 0 an option?
Jenn says
Sew ME! Definitely a 1 – despite a few years of Home Ec in the 80’s complete with fancy potholder and bag projects, I’m not sure I could even thread a bobbin these days!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Kelsey says
Sew me!
I’m in the middle grounds – a five?
Took home ec in high school, sewed an apron, a hat, a blanket.
These days Imma needle and thread kinda girl bc we don’t have a sewing Mahomet’s….
Addie says
“SEW ME!”
I’m probably a 5 or 6. I can make pillows and stuffed owls, and I’ve recovered chairs and a sofa, and altered my Bridesmaids Dresses, but I’m not at the point where I can MAKE my clothes yet!
Monica C says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 7. My sister gave me her “cheap” sewing machine to fix. This would be a perfect gift to give her for Christmas!
maryam says
SEW ME!!
Pam says
Sew Me! I own an antique Singer sewing machine that was my husband’s grandmother’s. She sewed professionally but I can’t sew at all! So my skills would be a 1 or less. My daughter wants a sewing machine for Christmas and this would be an awesome maching to give to her. Maybe she can even teach me a few stitches!
Sarah Lyons says
SEW ME! I am probably around a 5 or 6, but I would like to learn more!
Dana says
SEW ME!
Sometimes I manage to pull of a 7 or 8, but I’d rate myself a solid 4.
Jessica L. says
SEW ME! I would rank myself as a 1. BUT my town’s Joanne’s Fabric store offers sewing classes and would LOVE to start learning. :)
Colleen says
SEW ME!!
I am around a 3. I can fake my way through a project, but spend a lot of time cursing at my machine.
Kirsten says
SEW ME! I’m a solid 5 and would love to take it to the next level with a new fab machine!
Ruthie Spaans says
SEW ME!!
I would say I’m closer to a 2-3, but “sew” wanting to learn and make curtains, maternity clothes, and other wonderful DIY projects! :)
Krista says
SEW ME! I’m a definite 2 – but my sister is at least a 7 and could probably teach me a thing or two if I had this new sewing machine :)
Agnese says
SEW ME!
I’m somewhere between 1 and 2, but I hope to become at least 8 :)
Michelle says
Sew Me!
I’m a solid 5, which is good considering I was a 2 not so long ago. I love it, but sure wouldn’t mind having a newer machine to play with, or gift!
Jennifer says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2, but have aspirations to improve!
Rose says
SEW ME!!
Definitely right in the middle with a solid 5. would love to move up towards being a 10 with this machine!!
