***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!!! I’m probably a 6 or 7. My wonderful mom taught me to sew when I was about 7 years old (nearly 50 years ago!). I made my own clothes for years and STILL use the Singer Genie machine my parents bought me for my 16th birthday (1972). A new machine would be a DREAM for me! Thanks so (sew?) much for the chance to enter… :)
Brooke says
SEW ME!!
I’m ranking my sewing ‘skills’ a 2 or 3 tops. Everything I’ve done has a nice wavy edge and it takes me at least 45 minutes to set my old clunky machine up each time.
Krista says
SEW ME … 3. I had a sewing machine as a kid and learned the basics but haven’t touched one in years.
Jamie says
Sew me!!!! I am probably a 4 or 5, but need to get better so my daughters will have clothes that don’t make them look like hootchie mamas.
Sarah McC. says
SEW ME.
I’m a 1, but my mother is a 9 (great christmas gift!).
kandace says
Sew me! I suppose I’d consider myself a 5/6. I’ve made some children’s clothing and toys :)
Jen C. says
whoops, forgt the SEW ME!
Kay says
SEW ME! I would love to have this machine. I am trying to sew my first quilt on a borrowed older machine that sews great but I can not see to thread the needle. It would be “sew” awesome to have a machine with an automatic needle threader.
Mark says
Sew Me! Probably a 2. I’ve only used a sewing machine a couple times…and it’s been a while.
Malissa says
SEW ME! I am definitely a 1.. but I’d love to learn!
Leda says
SEW ME!!
No idea what I’m doing but really want to learn!
Kendall says
SEW ME!
I am a solid 3 on the sewing scale. I have made curtains (that took way too long) and other square shaped objects, but have never ventured into the land of zippers, clothing, or things that are round.
Megan says
SEW ME! I am a 1 but I would LOVE to learn!
Christy says
“SEW ME!”
I’ve made a pillow case for my husband that he loves. So maybe a 2.5.
Brianna says
SEW ME! I am about a 2.5 — I have made wearable pajama pants but the corners on my pillows are still pretty bad.
Scott says
SEW ME!
I can sew a straight line, but don’t as me to do any turns or corners.
Jennifer W says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m around a 2. I can sew things like curtains and have made my daughter a couple Halloween costumes (with help from my mom). I definitely have a lot to learn, though!
CandiL says
Sew Me! Pretty sure I’m a 1!
Andrea B says
“SEW ME!”
I’d say I’m a 3.. the wonky stage. :)
Ashley says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably a 4!
Carly G. says
Sew me! I’m a 2 or 3 on a sewing machine and a 5 when sewing by hand!
Melanie says
SEW ME!
I’ve haven’t sewn much in years. I used to do crochet and hand-stitching, but I always managed to make the sewing machine run backwards. Oopsie!
Lauren Hayden says
SEW ME! My mom is an amazing sewer, and I’ve dabbled a bit. Since I am planning on having children within the next couple years I really want to learn and refine my skills!
Kitty Schaub says
Sew me!
I rate myself highly in my head, whch probably explains why I’m always taking on projects way above me real skill level. Although I did sew new stockings for us this year, and only one is wonky!
Elaine says
I’d be a 2! Somewhere between you and Sherry!
Theresa says
SEW ME! thank goodness for 7th grade home economics back in 1968. I learned everything then that has helped me with all kinds of sewing projects.
Lauryn says
SEW ME! Im probably around a 5-6. Took costuming classes in College, so I can do some basic stuff really easily. Buttons, seams, pleats… Nothing too complicated!
Kasey M. says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2. I know how to thread my machine and in class I once made a bag. But that’s it!
P.S. Please don’t actually sew me. That sounds rather painful. Unless it’s something like medically necessary painful, then numb me up and stitch away.
Kristen Hansen says
SEW ME!
If Sherry is a 3, I’m probably a 2.5…I’ve done a few curtains and pillows…but am not at the beanbag level yet :-).
Leah K. says
SEW ME! I rank at about a 1. Haven’t sewn much since Home Ec in 7th grade. Looong time ago. But now I find myself wanting to sew my own curtains and pillows, so it’s time to get back on the sewing bandwagon!

Ashleigh says
SEW ME! I am a 0 on the scale of sewingness… however, I’d love to learn!
stephanie says
SEW ME!
I’m a “wonky-bag” 3. :)
laura says
SEW ME! I’m somewhere in the 3 to 5 range. I can sew, and am thankful that my mom helped me learn when I was younger but frankly I get a little kerfuddled when I’m sitting in front of the machine. It eats things, I swear!
Aleen says
This is SEW ME!! I would put myself at a 2-3 in terms of sewing skills…I can stitch no my own, but have never really had a “successful” sewing project…I’ve been wanting to own a sewing machine forever, if only to make pillow cases, and hem my own pants (I’m 5’1″, wah wah!). I hope I win~!
Stacy S. says
Sew Me! I am probably a 1.5….a beginner sewing machine is actually on my Christmas list this year!!!
Erin B says
Sew Me! I would say a 2-3… so any help from a good sewing machine would help :).
Katherine Immel says
SEW ME! I have zero sewing skills. Nada.
Meagan S says
Sew Me!!
Maybe a 2 or 3…I’ve sewn a few pillow covers and I actually followed a pinterest tutorial to hem my jeans using the original hem. And it totally worked yay! But I had to use my mom’s sewing machine…I’d love my own!
Melissa says
Sew me! I’ve taken a sewing class or two and successfully completed some projects, but I’d say my confidence level is a solid 1. :-\
Ann says
Sadly, i am a 1…but hoping to change that soon!!
Ann says
crap…I got so excited I forgot SEW ME!
Jen says
SEW ME!!
I just attempted my first sewing project this past weekend with my husband’s grandmother’s old sewing machine. Several hours, many inappropriate words and lots of crooked stitches later – I did complete it! But a new machine would help TREMENDOUSLY as I attempt to tackle more projects!
Patti says
SEW ME! I’m a definite 1 on that scale. I can sew on a button by hand, but haven’t ever attempted a sewing machine. I’d like to learn though so I can at least do some simple stuff, like hem curtains!
Meg says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 6 or so on the sewing continuum. I’ve sewn many curtains, made some smaller decorations and made alterations to clothes, but I’m super slow. I would love to make a shirt or other clothing from patterns or be able to make my own patterns, but I’m just not there yet.
Rebecca K. says
SEW ME!
I would say that in my head I am about an 8 (I like to dream big!) but in reality I am more of a 2. I have great ideas but struggle with the follow through. I would love to have a sewing machine of my own, though – I know I would get better with practice. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!!!
angie says
SEW ME! I would love to be a 5, but getting too close to a sewing machine probably results in a level 2 sew job. I need a machine like this to get better!
Kristin says
SEW ME! I’m a total sewing newbie but I’ve been dying to learn how to start quilting.
Kristin McC says
SEW ME!
I would say that I’m a 2, because I’ve never sewed anything beyond a somewhat-straight line on sewing machine, but I’ve watched my mom use it hundreds of times and secretly hope I have a natural ability :)
Jen says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 3, based solely on the Home Ec class I had to take in the 8th grade, where we spent half the year cooking and half the year sewing (odd that this was 1993).
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’d rate myself on the low end of the spectrum, but hope that when I own a sewing machine I can learn more skills!
Cassi King says
SEW ME! Negative 10, can’t sew a straight line to save my life. Starting sewing lessons…need this bad boy! :)
