***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…

SEW ME!
My sewing skills are so bad I don’t even make it onto your scale, John. That’s right, I give my sewing skills a big fat goose egg. Zero, zilch, nada. I have sewn buttons on, before, but they don’t stay on for long. Despite all of the foregoing, I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a sewing machine for a long time. The machine does all the work, right, so it should fix my problem? Isn’t that the way it works?
Stefanie says
SEW ME!
Sara Beth says
Sew Me!
At this point I would call myself a ‘1’, but I am hoping to get a machine soon and start learning – at least some simple things like hemming pants, easy curtains, etc. I would love to win this!!!
Meredith says
SEW ME!! Def a 1!
Michelle says
SEW ME! I would rank myself around a 3. I used to sew alot, but I haven’t had a machine in years, so it might take a bit to get back into the groove. :)
Ellen Godfrey says
SEW ME!
Annemie says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m probably a 1,5, but I dream of being a 10. Or let’s keep it real, a solid 6 would even be fine :)
And hooray for worldwide give-away!
Now if only you did worldwide book signings! (or just London maybe?) :)
kristin says
Sew me!
I’m a totally self taught sewer, and think i’m fairly decent. I can make baby clothes and purses.
Katie says
SEW ME! I am probably about a 6/7. I can do curtains, quilts, blankets, table runners, place mats, pillows, some doll clothes, and minor alterations. I would never take a close up picture of my stitches though!
Maureen says
SEW ME!! I’m probably around a 4 on the sewing continuum. I sense my skills expanding exponentially with that lovely machine in my life! Maureen
Catherin says
SEW ME!
After years of paying for minor alterations, I’ve decided it’s time to learn how to sew! I would be an enthusiastic newby!
Tonya says
SEW ME! Maybe a 4? I can sew curtains, pillows, craft projects, but clothes? Not if you want them to fit :)
simi says
i have 0 zero zero sewing skills. I’ve never used one in my life, but I’d love to start soon! :)
Kate says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2 on the sewing scale, however as a vet I have been known to repair many clothes with suture patterns :-)
Danielle S says
SEW ME! I’m totally a level-one seamstress, but I would love to improve and make my own… everything! The possibilities are endless.
Calista says
SEW ME!
I rank myself probably at a 3 – I took a sewing class when I was MUCH younger, but the majority of my skills have vanished!
Jen C. says
My homeEc claases in middle school made be a 5 on the scale but now I have to admit I maybe a 1. Would love to dust off the conwebs and see if I can make a decent pillow for my kids. Thanks for a fun giveaway!
Angie says
Sew me!! Sewing level 3. I can see a square to make pillows but that’s about it.
Jenn says
SEW ME! I’m a beginner but wanting to learn :)
Thanks,
Jenn
Nat says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, but hoping to be a 10 soon.
Sarah b says
SEW ME!
I’m terrible. Probably a terrible 3 because I’m delusional enough to think, why sure I can sew my kids Halloween costumes(and shamelessly go buy them after 4 frustrated hours with the sewing machine my grandmother used).
Nicole S says
“SEW ME!” – I am a complete beginner: a -2 maybe?
Bethany says
SEW ME!
At this point I hand sew when I need to sew, but would love a sewing machine to start learning how to sew, so that I could have my own little Project Runway moments.
Lisa S. says
SEW ME BABY! I’d rate myself around a 6. Still making loads of mistakes but enjoying the process nonetheless.
Kait says
Sew me! I’m a 2, maybe. I’ve taken a single sewing lesson, during which I was unable to sew in a straight line and the thread broke countless times. Boo.
Robbie Johnson says
Sew me! … I’m a zero, but got with a hero. (my wife’s the expert!)
Robyn says
SEW ME! I would rank myself somewhere around a 3.5 on the sewing scale. I can do basic stuff, but really want to learn to do more!
KazF says
Sew Me!
I’m a 6. My problem at the moment is time!
jarman says
SEW ME! Perfect timing, because my Pfaff machine that I have had for almost ten years just pooped out. I majored in fashion design but sewing is only a hobby for me now, so I will be fair and give myself an 8. :)
Andrea says
SEW ME!
Jenni says
SEW ME!!! I’d say my sewing skills are equivalent to Sherry’s. Straight lines only please :)
Candice says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3-4. I can sew and I’ve even made a tshirt quilt before, but I don’t enjoy the ironing part of sewing. And I don’t currently have a sewing machine. So I’m not sewing much these days.
Kate says
SEW ME!!
Kelly says
SEW ME! I would have to say that I am more like a 6. I used to sew a lot when I was younger – my Grandma taught me. I would love to sew more, however I do not have a sewing machine and am quite jealous of all of the sweet stuff people make…including ya’ll. Winning this sewing machine would be AMAZING!
Katy B. says
I am at a 1 on the scale of sewing skills…meaning I can sew a button on but it doesn’t look any good. I would LOVE to teach myself how to hem pants, make a pillow cover, sew curtains and table cloths, etc. but I’m too cheap to buy myself a sewing machine. This would be wonderful!
Cheryl says
Sew me!
I’m a cool 0
Need this puppy, stat.
Bethany says
SEW ME!! I would say I’m a 6/7. I’ve made 2 pairs of curtains (soon to be 2 more) and baby booties, among other things!! I’ve come a long way from 4-H sewing!!!
Donna says
“Sew Me” I used to sew all my clothes when I was in high school. I would say now I’m a 5-6 range.
Jamie S. says
SEW ME!
I am just learning to sew and can do pretty simple things like curtains and hems. But with THIS machine, I’ll bet I could do SEW much more! (Hehehe)
Laura says
Sew me! I am a 1.5 on the sewing skills scale — this puppy would do wonders for me. Thanks! :)
Liz says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4… and a half!
Phyllis says
SEW ME!!! – I would say I am probably an 8….I made my sister’s bridesmaid dresses and one of her wedding dresses.
Jayne Stanfill says
SEW ME! I am at the bottom of the pool when it comes to sewing. If I am missing a button on a piece of clothing, I have to take it to the cleaners to have one sewn on. I did take my first class and managed to make a cute cell phone holder.
Katie P says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 6/7, I can sew handbags but always mess up at least one detail ^.^ (usually zippers, but more recently magnetic snaps which are far too magnetised..)
Ashley G says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a 2… I used to know how, but haven’t done it in years!
Nicole F. says
SEW ME!
Oh man, I’m definitely a 2 sewer – I can hand stitch enough to mend a loose hem or armpit holes, but a sewing machine would be amazing!
Rebecca says
“SEW ME!” I would rate myself a 3 or so, lotss to learn and a new machine would help!!
Chana says
Sew Me! I’m basically a two ( I could probably sew a bag…. but it’s very likely it’d end up with either no opening… or ten) but I’m really hoping to improve those skills. Believe me, hand sewing gets tiring after awhile!
Sasha says
Sew me! I used to be more of a 4 (when I inserted sweet fabric into some jeans to make homemade bell bottoms in high school) but now I’m probably about a 1 since I haven’t touched a machine since…
Anjani Webb says
SEW ME
I haven’t used a sewing machine yet but we just bought a house and I’d love to make my own curtains!
