***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…

Jennie Fishback says
Sew me!
I’m a 2, I think I could sew myself out of a bag, but I would have to try to be sure.
I do have memories of sewing my tote bag shut in middle school…
Mandy says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, I can put a button back on a shirt but it doesn’t look pretty. I’d love to advance my skills!
Joy says
Sew Me! I’m a solid 3. Straight lines are about all I’m capable of!
Olivia says
SEW ME!
I’d consider myself a 5. Technical skills are lacking, but can whip up rough versions of things based on my own patterns living in my head :)
Shannon aka SuperCraftySister says
SEW ME! I think I’m around an 8… I can follow a pattern, or make my own (as long as it’s nothing incredibly difficult) but I find myself using my seam ripper almost as much as my machine! :) I would LOVE to have this machine since I have only ever owned hand-me-downs… you know, the one that mom declares is “broken”… but I somehow bring back to life.
Lydia says
SEW ME!! I’m about a 7. When I was in highschool I made my own prom dress :)
Love you guys!! Keep doin’ what you’re doin’!
Lydia
Stephanie says
Sew me! I am a 3 but hoping to get better!
Lauren says
“SEW ME!”
I remember using a sewing machine in high school and loved it! I am a 1 though for sure, but would love to re-learn so I can make pillows!
Laura says
SEW ME! Maybe a 4. I took Home Ec sewing in junior high many moons ago.
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2-3.
natasha says
SEW ME!
I am a 2. I think given the chance I could make something usable. I always wanted to be a 10 though! Just wanted to be able to whip up a dress or something in my free time. Ha.
Emma says
SEW ME!!
I’ll call myself an 8, I’ve been sewing forever, am quite comfortable with it, but haven’t gotten into drafting my own patterns.
Sara says
SEW ME
I’m probably a 2. The husband does the sewing around here!
Kelly says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4 – I can sew a mean pillow cover!
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 0-1. I’ve had my Mom’s old sewing machines which I figured out how to load (after about a day of messing with it) and then sewed the ends of elastic together for a tutu. I was SO proud (even though it was so bad! :))
Cindy says
SEW ME!! I am maybe a 6–I have done a fair amount of quilting (straight lines, and lots of them!!) in the past. Thanks to Sherry, I’ve just made several new pillows and curtains, and have my eyes on some new projects once January arrives!. My machine is having some issues, and this looks like a wonderful solution!!
Elizabeth says
SEW ME a 6:)
Kaitlyn says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3
Joanna says
Sew me!
Definitely a 1, but would really like to be at least a 3!
Lindsay says

Kathleen says
SEW ME!
Im a 3 i think. Self taught and still learning but two of my christmas gifts this year were sewn projects so I think I’m doing alright
thanks
Shannon says
SEW ME!
Probably a 2 … a sewing machine is on my Christmas list because I’m determined to improve my skills!
Sarah says
Sew me! Baby!
I’m a 1, but my boyfriend’s mother is a 20!!!! She’s a pro, and i’d love to give this to her as a thank you for bringing such a wonderful guy into this world.
Ok enough sappiness….. bye!
Andrea says
Sew Me! I’m definitely a 1 but I’d like to improve!
Ann says
Sew Me!
I would say I am a 3. I used to be a 4-5 with my 4-H skills back in the day, but now I can hem a pair of pants, sew straight lines (pillows/curtains) and that is about all. My highlight of 2012 . . . I made matching dresses for my daughter and her doll for her 3rd birthday!
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
I would put myself at a 3. I used to know how to use a sewing machine thanks to my high school home ec teacher. I keep thinking I would like to re-learn.
Misty says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, but my sister has mad sewing skills!
Jendeis says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills are probably at a 2 – meaning that I can hand-stitch and embroider, but I’m hopeless on a machine.
Michelle W says
SEW ME!!!
I am right there with Sherri, I could figure it out, but it probably would be “wonky”!
Gina St.Phillips Ingraham says
Sew Me!
I am a 2 with serious textile aspirations. I’ll be a 10 one day. :D
Sarah says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1 (maybe a 2 because I can sometimes sew in a straight line by hand? And buttons! I can sew on buttons…) but I’ve always wanted to learn!
Amanda says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 4-4.5. I can sew pretty much whatever I want once I put my mind into it. I don’t sew using any patterns, if I find something I like (most often online) I sketch it up and then cut the fabric. It doesn’t alway turn out how I want it to, but hey, isn’t that the beauty of it?
Evie says
SEW ME!
I am about a 6. I made all of my daughter’s church dresses, and the curtains (lined!) in my house. And I owe my skills to my mom, grandmother, and my mother-in-law, who were all very talented seamstresses.
Charlotte Rippy says
SEW ME!!!! I am probably a 1, but have always wanted to learn to sew…perhaps this will push me over the edge to finally learn!
Tiffanee says
SEW ME! I am more likely a 2-3 since the last time I made something when I was in high school.
Lona says
SEW ME! Is it possible to be a 0.5 skill level? I have memories of sewing in high school…would love to learn more, and this sewing machine looks AWESOME!
Marie says
SEW ME!
definitely a 4-5, I am pretty good at sewing and making quilts and stuff, but I’m too impatient to make a decent contest-worthy result, so everything I make ends up as a Christmas present for family members.
Angela says
SEW ME!
Totes a 3. Took home-ec in high school and we sewed pajama pants, mine were like 4 sizes too big, but hey, at least they had a pajama shape :)
Tammy says
SEW ME! I am maaaaaaybe a 1.5 :) I made homemade curtains this year and they don’t look terrible, that’s a step in the right direction! I’d love a sewing machine at home to experiment with more.
laura says
SEW ME! please
Sarah says
Sew me!
Maybe a 2? Learned to sew a bit as a kid but haven’t touched a sewing machine in years as I don’t have one. Would LOVE to tinker around with one!!
Elizabeth says
Sew me!!
I don’t even know how to sew a button onto a jacket with a needle and thread. But we are having a baby in June, and I feel like I need to learn ASAP!
Jenna W says
Sew me! I’m probably around a 4, but am always borrowing a sewing machine when I need one. What a treat to have one of my own!
sheila says
SEW ME!
oh i’d say i’m a 1.5 – i have a small quilt that i started 20 years ago….i need to finish that and i did take a night class but i really need a machine.
Bea says
Sew Me!
Cari Sury says
SEW ME! I’d like to think i’m a 4ish…i’ve made my fair share of tshirt blankets (which technically only require you to sew straight lines) but I think i’m pretty good at it!
bethany says
SEW ME! I am def. a 1, but I want to learn! Window treatments are so expensive…and boring.
Joanna V says
Sew Me!
I’ve been meaning to try sewing again…the last time I tried something other than a pillow I was 8 and made a neon pink falmingo printed dress so i’d say i’m a 3.
Katie G says
SEW ME!
I’d give my mad sewing skills a 2. With a few hours, and lots of practice, I would likely make it to a 3. With a new fancy machine, who knows how good I could get!!
Autumn says
SEW ME!
I am a 2 and only because my grammy made me took sewing lessons as a child..maybe some knowledge is still in there somewhere!
