***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…

Pam says
SEW ME!
A one for sure, I cannot even sew on a button!
Katie says
SEW ME!
I am a self proclaimed 1, but I have high aspirations for myself to improve and to be half a good as my grandmother one day!
Mia says
SEW ME!
I’m a straight-up two. I have sewn curtains in multiple rooms in my house and I have sewn one pillow. Both were successful, but sewing straight lines ain’t that hard.
Kate says
Sew me! I’d rank myself a five, I’ve made costumes and quilt, but usually I just sew a straight line.
Maria says
SEW ME!
I’m whatever the equivalent is to a high school home ec level of sewing ability.
Lindsey S says
SEW ME!
I think i might be a 5. I get the basics, and can follow a simple pattern, but I don’t know enough to make up something or use bias tape…
Lauren says
SEW ME!
A 2, only because I have actually touched a sewing machine before and used it, but no level of skill at all. :) I would love to learn on this one!
Barb says
SEW ME!
I’m somewhere between a 3 and a 10 – probably a solid 6. I sew quite often but it’s nothing that’s going to be featured on the runways next season. Mostly dog bed covers (I’m getting pretty good at putting in zippers) and dog toys. Do you see a theme here?
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. I used a sewing machine in home ec in 7th grade, and I repair small holes and buttons with a needle and thread by hand.
Becky says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4, trying to get better :)
Teresa C says
SEW ME! I’d call myself a 3 IF I can get someone else to thread the ^%%*# machine for me.
Krista C. says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1 or a 2, but I can at least handle the basics – buttons, hems, etc.
Alicia White says
SEW ME!!! The only thing I’ve ever sewed was pacifier holders for friends. I want to get better and this machine would be the perfect tool to do so!!!
Kaitlyn S says
SEW ME!
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 5, but I think I’m slipping downwards since (despite having about 20 projects in mind) I haven’t done any actual sewing in a loooong time.
Anika says
“SEW ME!”
I could sew a button on a shirt and maybe close a hole in something, but only if the stitching wasn’t visible (I cannot sew a straight line to save my life) – so any assistance I can get is extremely helpful!
Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!
Christian says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 2.
Kristie says
SEW ME!!!
Maybe a 4 or 5 but would love to work my way up to a 10 with this baby!
Janet says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1 right now – but I’d like to make that number go up!
Abby says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, but I really want to learn!
Catherine says
SEW ME!! I would rank myself about an 8 in the sewing department (although I could probably sew a simple tote bag almost blindfolded). Love this giveaway!!
Shellie says
SEW ME! I’m right with Sherry- I could make something look half decent if I tried, but I mostly just wing it. I could use a new machine to improve my skills!
Amy says
SEW me! =)
Meg S says
Sew me! I’m about a 3. I can do it if pressed, but I have A LOT of room for improvement.
Michelle says
Sew me! I’m a 6…went to fashion school, but haven’t sewn anything complicated in quite a while.
Annie says
SEW ME…Oh! I’m a 3, maybe, only because I’m fearless but have no skills. I wan’t to learn to sew so I can make curtains and pillows (and, in my dreams, this cute, funky stuffed animal I saw on etsy)…what a world of possibilities!!!
Keli says
SEW ME! I would have to say I’m also a 3 on the sewing scale. But a new machine would greatly improve those skills I’m sure:)
Daniel says
Definitely a 1, but I would love to win this for my wife!
Tim A says
SEW ME!
Absolute beginner, but I need and want to learn.
Áslaug says
SEW ME! I´m probably a 1….but if I had this machine maybe lika a 3?
kristin says
SEW ME! I am a one on a good day.
Rachael says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 2? I’m trying to sew curtains…
Molly Martin says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 3 who is dying to make curtains for my new house!
Rebecca says
SEW ME! I’m a 2 because I can’t even remember the last time I sewed. Probably a few times in middle school, but that’s it. :)
Sofie says
“SEW ME!”
I consider myself a 1, so there’s plenty of room for improvement :-)
Kara says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a 4 or 5, but I think most of my frustrations with sewing have come from having a crummy machine, I don’t remember it being so hard in middle school home-ec!
Whitney says
SEW ME! This is on my Christmas list!! I grew up sewing with my grandma, but evenso I think I’m a 2-3. I made a Halloween costume this year…it was just a cape though.
Ashley C says
SEW ME! I am probably a #3 with my GRANDMOM’s old machine…creating my own pink and red tree skirt and ‘heeled boot’ stockings that turned out a little less than stellar! And I just took on the task of sewing my sister in law’s baby bumpers, quilt and crib skirting for her new little arrival in June! EKKS!
Rachel says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 3, but I get the Project Runway fever every once in awhile and try to tackle a project that should really be left for more of an 8 or 9. (PR fever…Does that happen to other people or just me?)
Laura C says
SEW ME! I am probably a solid 3 maybe 4. I have been trying on my mom’s machine but it is a slow process. I do love it though!
nina says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3, but since it’s been sooo many years since I’ve touched a machine I would say I am currently a 2.
Rebecca says
SEW ME!!!
I’m a 7, would love this machine!!
Danielle says
SEW ME!
Lucy says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3 – I have trouble getting the machine all set up right, but once that’s done, I’m OK.
Amanda says
SEW ME!!!
I mostly mend, but with a machine I know I could be better. Right now I’m probably a 2, but I want to be good enough to do upholstery and clothing!!
Stacey says
SEW ME! I am probably a 4 – working on getting better! :)
Korby says
SEW ME !!! I am probably a 5 or 6.
Sam says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a 2. Need a button or a hem fixed? I’m your girl. Curtain panels? Cue the sweaty palms.
Irene Frances says
SEW ME! I’m about a 2 – I’d love to get better though!
Valerie says
Sew me!
I’d say 7, I could sew a decent bag from scratch… but not blindfolded. Maybe with one eye closed. Ha.
I have a cheap machine that my parents gave me about 7 years ago that I have sewn and sewn and sewn on and the thing recently gave out, UGH! I feel kinda lost without my machine, this would be a Christmas miracle to win a new one! :)
