***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…

Nina says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 0 or a 1 on the spectrum, but I have been wanting to learn some basics for awhile!
Thanks!
JS says
SEW ME! Definitely a 1, but I want to learn!
Donna Jean says
SEW ME!!!
I’m probably a 2 or a 3 – definitely would make a wonky bag, but hey, wonky bags still hold things :o)
Chris says
Sew Me!
I’m probably an 8 or so. I definitely can’t sew blindfolded (although I have wrapped gifts while blindfolded) and I know that there is still plenty more that I could learn.
Jessica W. says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 — never sewed a stitch in my life. I’m dying for my first sewing machine so I’m keeping my fingers (and toes and eyes) crossed that I win!
CrysHouse says
SEW ME!
I’m pretty sure I could sew a line on a piece of material…maybe? (But clearly this is a skill worth having!)
Lina says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably an 8-9. I’ve been sewing since I was 7, and I’ve always drooled over these Singers!
Shay says
SEW ME! A 3. I sewed a blanket once… For a doll ;-)
Kate lau says
SEW ME!
I would say I am 3. I can do simple sewing projects.
Rachel says
SEW ME!
I am 1, but I would love to learn!
Danielle says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 2 – I could maybe make a wonky bag, but whether I could sew my way out of it is very questionable.
lineth says
SEW ME!!!! I am at 1.. lol. Couldn’t sew m way out of a bag! but i want to learn!! been wanting a sewing machine since my almost 2 year old daughter ANileth was born. Just had other expenses to take care of.! hope a win!!!!!
Adam S says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1. I can turn the unit on at least!
Kaylie says
SEW ME! Hmm I’d say a 2! I don’t have a sewing machine but feel in my crafty nature I could pick up on it pretty easily with a cool machine like this one!
Karishma says
SEW ME!
I *think* I might be a 2, but then again it’s been 10 years since I last handled a sewing machine way back in high school. I do find myself in need/want of one now, since I bought a house with my husband, and 4 months in we are still curtain-less, as I have tall ambitions of making my own!
Christine says
SEW ME! I’m probably an 8 or 9. Having accidently “sewn” my fingers before, I’m not too keen perfecting my sewing blindfolded skills.
amanda f. says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2 at best, but would love to improve!
Oh, the DIY projects I could make with this machine!
Emily S says
SEW ME! I’m somewhere in the middle 4-5 range. I know what I’m doing, kind of. :)
Cara Jeanne says
SEW ME! I may be a 2.5… or something like a 2.326. In middle school we had to sew a fluffy pillow, I was helping someone and hit the pedal too hard and broke the needle off in my finger.. yikes! But I would LOVE a sewing machine and become closer to a 5 or 6!
Christine says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 2..just starting out.
Maribeth says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 2 but would love to work on that!
Catie says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2. But want to get to a 6. I use my mom’s old school sewing machine and she’s looking to get it back. :)
Angela says
SEW ME!
I’m with Sherry as a “3” but I’m envious of her gumption with the quilt she made Clara. I’ve made attempts at a quilt and just the time involved put the project on the back burner to never be picked up again! I did however, sew a tailored slipcover for a sleeper-sofa that had lived with my family for over 30 years. It was a great accomplishment!!! The beauty is that I fashioned it in such a way that the bed could still be used without removing any portion of the slipcover. The cushions each had their own slipcover so they had to be removed but that was it! YAY for DIY!!!
Ellen says
sew me!
I am a 3, but I know I have it in me to be at least a 7. But I guess we’ll never know unless I win :-)
Mark S says
“SEW ME!”
Super low. I can sew a patch on a jacket or something and have messed around with embroidery but I would love to be able to learn and make geeky costumes and such
Rachel M. says
SEW ME!
A 1. Or maybe a 1/2, if the scale goes that low. But sewing lessons are on my to-do list!
Juliette says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 3…I used to sew a lot as a little kid but haven’t in years and would love to start again!
Vanessa says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 or a 3. If I can figure out how to thread the needle and get it started, I could probably make something. Other people probably wouldn’t be able to tell what it was. But it would be something. Sewn something.
Holly says
Sew me…
I’d give myself a 2
paintergal says
SEW ME! I would rank myself at a 7.
Amanda says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m about a 5 on the seeing scale. I have made myself a pretty nice bag, and even followed a pattern to make myself a pair of pants once! I’m still intimidated by a lot of patterns though.
Deena says
Sew Me!
I have a desire to learn but am still firmly at a 1!
Kana says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 5. I’ve been sewing since I was 10 or so (used to use my mom’s old singer – must be an antique now!) but I’ve never attempted to do anything fancy. I sewed a bag for myself when I was in middle school, made outfits for my boston terrier when I was in high school, but now I just use the sewing machine to hem my pants and make cushion covers. ha.
Robyn G says
Sew me! I would rate myself as a 7. I sew at least once a week, so I feel I’m better than the average bear. But I’m not a dressmaker or tailor by any means! I’m more into craft sewing and quilting.
Amber says
SEW ME!
I’d put myself at a 1or 2. Haven’t sewn since home ec class, but want to re-learn!
Emily A says
Sew me!
Probably a 3 (I’ve sewn all our tree decorations) but definitely want to learn more!
Rae says
SEW ME!
I would rank my sewing abilities in the high 2 range. I can make burp rags and crooked pillow cases! But I have been trying to teach myself how to sew, eventually I want to be able to be good enough for some home decor projects and making my children costumes to dress up in.
Kimberly says
SEW ME!
I have made a pretty nice purse once, but it took a very detailed tutorial to help me! So I would say I am a 4.
Lauren says
SEW ME! I’m around a 3 with Sherry!
Trish says
SEW ME!!!!
I’m right at a self-taught 6.5
Abby says
SEW ME!!!! I am for sure a novice…maybe a 2.
Hilary Taylor says
SEW ME! I am probably about a 3 as well. I can sew things that only involve straight lines like curtain panels and throw pillow covers. That’s about it!
Peg says
SEW ME!
I am a 10, well maybe a 9.5. Use to be a 10 when in high school and sewed 90% of my clothes…..way back when. Would love this for my daughter that is about a 4 and just bought a home so lots of sewing project ahead of her.
Jennifer says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 2. I know how to technically use a sewing machine, but have never actually made anything usable without assistance.
Whitney Cleaver says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3.5. I could make a nice pillow, but above that we’re in trouble
Liz says
“SEW ME!”
graduated highschool homec and recently made a dog bed. I think I would give myself a 4.
Meghan says
Oh sew me!!
I’d love a new sewing machine. I’m about a 5. I can follow a pattern for simple things, but I haven’t made complicated clothes yet. I have my grandma’s older machine right now to use, i’m sure she wants it back!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I think I would put myself at a 2. I can darn things, but that’s about as far as it goes.
Leigh says
SEW ME!
I am a 0-1. I sewed more when I was a tween by experimenting with my Mema’s sewing machine making Barbie pillows and comforters. Now there are a few projects I would like to tackle that the involvement of a sewing machine might make a little easier.
Ioanna says
SEW ME! I m a 1, I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time now. That would be a great opportunity! Ioanna
