***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…

Andrea says
SEW ME! I’d say i’m a 7, but my sewing machine is a singer from the 70’s (my mom’s) so i’m limited to only 5 types of stitches!
Joy says
SEW ME! Thanks!
I’m a 1, but my mom was a seamstress for 13 years while she was out of the workplace raising kids. I never took an interest in learning to sew from her and in high school I never wanted to “waste” an elective on home ec. Actually, I was afraid of ruining my GPA for being a lousy sew-er. It’s something I’ll regret, like never learning real cajun french from my grandmother.
Courtney says
SEW ME!!!
Im at about a 2… i inherited my grandmothers awesome solid steal sewing machine 2 years ago, and so far have made 5 pillow cases and broken 5 needles.
angie m says
Sew me
I would be a 1.
I sewed something in high school….well maybe my mom sewed it for me….so maybe a 0 instead.
fran says
Sew ME!!!
I am a novice sewer who would like to get better
Karen says
SEW ME! Sew me please!!!
Okay, seriously….this giveaway just made me sit up and beg like a puppy! I didn’t bark, because you know, that would be weird. But wow do I need a new sewing machine! I would rank myself a 5 on my current 1960’s Bernina, but this Singer could easily fake me right into a solid 7!
Amber C says
SEW ME!
I’m a beginner, but I can do some basic sewing. Nothing elaborate, and there’s a lot of cajoling, pleading, and arguing with the sewing machine, but it’s not bad!
Karen Nelson says
SEW ME!
I am a complete sewing idiot. Last time I touched a sewing machine was in 7th grade Home Ec class. I couldn’t sew a straight line, and I’ve been scared to touch one ever since. But I’ve become so crafty and DIY in my old age in other areas, I would love to get a chance to try again. This baby sounds like just what I need!
DANIELA CIRILLO says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 10.. I’m sewn since my 7 years old ,my mom teaching me ,and then take more classes,now I’m 50 years old and I’m proud of my mom and my self . thank you for this giveaway!!
Kimberly P says
SEW ME!
Just learning but can whip up a simple dress, killer halloween costumes and just yesterday make a pillowcase & duvet cover with snaps for my toddler.
Amy says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 3, but my Mom is a 12!
This would be a fantastic Christmas present for her!!
Sally says
SEW ME! I’m looking to boost my skills making some skirts – right now around a 3.
Clover Hunter says
Sew ME! (Please! Mustn’t forget our manners, right?)
I definitely fall in the 0-1 category. I can thread a needle and pop a button back on a shirt like a champ, but only because it is a simple matter of jamming the needle through the hole until it feels secure. I have a whole box of clothes with seams and holes that need some TLC, so the “easiest” machine sounds right up my alley!
krissy says
Sew me!!! I would give myself maaaaaaaaaaaybe a 4… I can conquer the square but moving beyond that (button holes, zippers) I am a lost puppy. This would be an awesome upgrade from the “Fashion Mate” singer I am currently rocking-it’s from 1982, at least.
Shaelan says
SEW ME….I am a O or a 1
Wilma says
“SEW ME!”
I’m about an 8-9; been sewing for 50 years and just graduated from Professional Bra Makers. I love my Singer Sewing Machines. I began with a treadle that I purchased myself when I was 16.
Heather says
SEW ME!!!
Definitely a 1!!!
Holly says
SEW ME! I definitely a beginner and need something to practice with!
Kelly says
SEW ME!
I would say my skills are right around a 1. I can sew a button on or fix a small hole…and that’s about it!
Lauren S says
Sew me i’m definitely a 1, haven’t sewn anything with a machine since home ec.
StephanieC says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 6. My mom is an avid quilter and has taught me some of her skillz. :)
Peggy says
SEW ME!! I’ll say I’m a 7. I learned to sew as a kid, sewed my daughter’a newborn and one-size diaper stash, and often sew clothing items for my kids too.
Christine Leakey says
SEW ME

Jorja says
SEW ME!!
I’d say probably a 7-8. I’ve learned to be pretty handy with my old machine…I’d definitely be a 10 with this one!
Amanda says
SEW ME! Possibly a 5, I love to sew and am learning how to quilt too!
Angela H says
SEW ME!
