***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…

Alicia says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3 or a 4, just basic sewing skills. I can sew an awesome semi-straight line!
Siera says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4 or 5. I can sew an easy pillow or bag, but add any sort of details and I’m lost.
Rebeca says
SEW Me!
Definitely a 1.
Gina Stierwalt says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 1 at this point, but I used to be able to sew decently. Maybe if I win this, I can get up to a 5 or so???
Merrit says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 5.. I was able to make my puppy an adorable dress with some oversight from my mom :)
Maegan says
Sew me!
I can sew a mean pillow using two cloth napkins so I think that would rank me at 1.75. With a fancy sewing machine, I am confident I could reach at least a 2!
Erin S says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4. I love sewing but practice makes perfect and I don’t have enough practice under my belt yet!
Hillary says
SEW ME!
“Wonky bag” sounds like exactly my level of sewing…so 3 it is!
Fawn Teresi says
Sew Me!
Definetly a 1 but i have been dying to learn! :)
Kelly says
SEW ME! I am definitely a beginner! 0 or 1!
Jennie says
Sew Me! At this point I would probably be a 1 on the sewing scale but with this fancy machine… who knows how far I could climb in sewing rankings:)
Becky says
SEW ME!
If a “wonky bag” is a 3, I think I’m probably a 5 or 6… I’ve sewn a few REALLY simple bags and other small projects.
Amanda K says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5? :)
mp says
SEW ME!
I think Sherry and I are on the same level. I took a refresher sewing course in 2010 and was surprised to learn how much I’d retained from HS, but I’m never going to become a master stitcher. But I enjoy making items for my home and am good at that!
Melissa says
SEW ME! – I’m probably about a 9 or so. I’ve been sewing for years and recently sewed a christening gown and slip for my grand daughter, complete with tiny pin tucks and scallop stitches. I really need to teach my 31 yo daughter how to sew though!
Brandee says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a solid two. I could sew a straight line if someone set it up for me.
kari says
SEW ME!
Right now I am using the kid’s sewing machine that my sister bought for my daughter 5 years ago. I need to advance to a real, grown up sewing machine!
Michelle V says
SEW ME!!
I guess I would say I am a 5 or 6 – I can do the basics – but I just took a slipcover class and I am excited to do more. This would be awesome!
Casey says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a solid 2…
Hannah N. says
SEW ME! I have zero sewing skillz, but I reallllly want to learn!!
Ashleigh says
SEW ME! I’m probably around a 2 but really want to get better- this sewing machine would help!!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3, though I’d like to think that the lessons my mom taught me when I was younger have stuck well enough to push me to a 5. Alas, I can pretty much just sew straight lines…
Laura D. says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m maybe a 6 – I am an engineer by trade so visualizing how things should come together is easier for me than some. BUT I tend to get lazy and cut corners when it’s my own stuff that I’m sewing :)
dara says
SEW ME!!! My skills are 0!!! i have been DYING to learn how to sew for a very long time now!! Would love to take a class and learn how to make pillows, and runner, and curtains for every room in my new house!
Heather Beals says
“SEW ME!”
Yay! Right up my alley. I’ve been sewing since I was a little girl and now I have a blast running my own etsy site and sewing for my three little girls. So I guess I’d have to say I’m probably at least a 9 maybe a 10. lol What a great giveaway!
Tana says
SEW ME!!
I am probably a 3, only because I USED to be able to whip up a “wonky” bag and have even done some sewing using patterns, but that was years ago. I still have a machine stuffed in the back of my closet but it’s no longer in working order.. it would be great to get started again now that the nest is (almost) empty and I have more time to get back in to sewing
Erica says
“SEW ME!”
I would say I’m about an 7 I have made all the curtains and pillows in my house. I have even made a few outfits in the past. I would not say my stuff comes out perfect but not too bad!
Emily says
Sew me! I’m a 1 but would love to be a 5!
Mandee says
SEW ME!
I took Home Ec in high school and tried sewing on a friend’s machine a couple of years ago and decided I liked it way better than I did back in school, so now I’ve been coveting one for the past few years!
Kristen | Popcorn on the Stove says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m a 3 – basic projects with straight lines!
Louise says
Sew me!
I’m a zero. Womp womp.
Sue says
SEW ME!!!
Kerry H says
SEW ME!!!
I am most definitely a 1 on the scale of my sewing abilities! But with twins on the way, I would love to make some blankets and such for them! :)
Ann says
SEW ME! I’d consider myself a 4 or a 5, though my mediocre Walmart sewing machine is holding me back. :-) With this puppy I could teach myself to be a 7 or an 8 in no time!
Holly says
Sew Me! While certainly not Maria von Trapp making clothes from curtains, I rather adhere to the Katherine Clifton approach: A woman should never learn how to sew, and if she can, she shouldn’t admit to it!
Lisa F says
SEW ME!!!
I’m dying to get a sewing machine, although my skill level is probably around a 2.
Desiree C. says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills probably throw me at about a 3 to a 3.5. Though I’m not very hardcore or awesome, I do love to sew.
Rosie says
Sew me! I’m around a 6 or 7, but have been doing all my sewing by hand lately because I have too many projects I want to do and not enough time to make the trip home and use my mom’s machine!
Stacy M says
SEW ME!! Definitely a 1 although I would like to learn :)
Margy says
SEW ME!
This giveaway is SEW INCREDIBLE–I’m sick of waiting for mom to give me her machine, which she rarely uses! By my third approach at making a project I’m a 6.7 to 6.8 :). My first and second attempts can’t be scored due to the level of frustration. The most involved project I’ve done is recover a sofa (really it’s not as impressive as it sounds), but I also make each of my nieces and nephews square pillow blocks with their names spelled out one letter at a time.
Beth says
Sew Me! I have zero sewing skills, so I need a good machine to show me the way!
Amanda says
Sew Me Please!
Megan says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a 3…? It’s been a LONG time since I’ve tried to sew anything.
Kitty says
Sew Me Please!
I am a 2 or 3. My Mom taught me how to sew, she also taught the neighborhood girls too – we all had matching outfits. She made all my doll clothes as well.
Now that has been some time ago and I have lost some of the skills, I really want to sew again.
Thanks for these great give aways!
Kitty
Kyla says
Sew me! I’d say I’m around a 3.
Krista says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3. I can make pillows and curtains and that’s about it!
Tara Lutes says
SEW ME!!! Sewing skills = 0. But I’m inspired to try!
Sara C says
SEW ME!!
I would love to say I am a 10 but that would be a down right lie, I am more like a 3 since my bag would turn out slightly wonky but that gives it more character right?
Danielle says
SEW ME!
I took a sewing class in 7th grade, but in the many years since, I’ve forgotten how to read a pattern. That said, I can follow instructions and have successfully made pillow covers (no zipper, envelope style)and roman shades for our old house. I’d rate my skills a 6 with lots of room for improvement!
ps – the stitch patterns on this machine sound amazing!
Lindsay says
Sew Me!!! I am about a 5…self taught, learn as I go. Some stuff turnes out great and other stuff goes back into the scrap bin! But I do enjoy it when it turns out the way that I want! I am currently sewing my nephews some costumes for Christmas! YYEAH!!!
