***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 a 1 for sure. I sewed my first pillow cover on a friend’s machine last month, though, and I’m very interested in learning more!
Jean in Canada! says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 3, but working on raising that!
Sarah Elizabeth says
SEW ME! I think I’m about a 5. My mom sent me to “sewing camp” when I was 12, and you know how when you learn something at a really specific age, it sticks? It sticks. I don’t sew very often because I don’t have my own machine, but I can sew easy things like bags and curtains. I made shoe bags for the gym a few years ago.
I want to start sewing my own dresses.
Casey H. says
Sew Me!!
I stick to hem tape and stitching by hand..I’ve tried my mom’s sewing machine and pretty well had taken the whole thing apart trying to teach myself how to use it!
Hope says
SEW ME!! I’m about a 2, I am hoping to improve in 2013.
Megan says
SEW Me. I have only used a sewing machine for projects in High School. Ready to give it a whirl and make some curtains!
Erin says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, but a total wannabe. Have thought about buying one (pinterest will do crazy things to you!) but haven’t yet.
Anna says
SEW ME!
I am probably around a 4 or a 5. I do all my stuff by hand stitching so this would be useful.
Nali P. says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 3 in my sewing skills.
Bonnie says
sew me!
I’d rank myself at a 7. I started making quilts when I was 8 years old, but I’ve never made a garment I would actually wear in public.
Gayle says
SEW ME! 1.
Mary Ann says
SEW ME!
I haven’t sewed anything in 10+ years. Hoping to take it back up and make some cool items for the house.
Jesse Rader says
Sew Me!!!!
Being that my mom has made clothes my whole life I would say I am on the bad continum to pretty awful. However my daughter is a budding young designer, so this would be for her.
Jessica says
SEW ME!
I’m also probably a 3 when I get started on a sewing kick, but then turn into a 4 after I find my groove.
kellie says
SEW ME! I’m a 4-5.
Tipling says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2. But at least my mom can be pleased I am not a 1. She tried to teach me to sew when I was younger and I wasn’t having it but now I have a house and want to make all the curtains, pillow covers, etc. This would be awesome!
Mary Claire says
SEW ME.
Most def a 0. Zippy sewing skills.
Lauren says
SEW ME!!!
I’m a 3 who has a pile of tshirts and is ready to take a shot at a tshirt quilt… if only I had a sewing machine to do it!
Ivana says
SEW ME!!!
My skills are around 6-ish. My grandmother gave me her sewing machine years ago, it has a mind of it’s own now – could really use this one!!
You guys – greetings from far,far away – Croatia…
Jenni says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably a 3 but it’s been YEARS since I’ve used a sewing machine. I can sew things by hand (buttons, hems, mending, etc.) but having a sewing machine might up the types of projects I’d try out.
Katherine says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 1-2 on the scale–can hem jeans but that’s about it. However, I aspire to more someday!
Bailey N. says
SEW ME!
I am most definitely a one!! :/
Kristin W says
SEW ME!
I am about a 3 on my sewing skilss–easy stuff like little bags, table runners, and crafts are about all I can do. Don’t look too closely at my stiching though. It is usually crooked :)
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I might be a 3, but I’m using my grandma’s old machine and could sure use an upgrade!
Amanda says
I’m great at sewing simple pillows, maybe a 3 or 4.
Amanda says

Bonnie Morscher says
SEW ME! Probably only a 2 or 3, but with that machine, I could definitely fake it.
Nicole S. says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1. But I want to learn!
bonnie says
Sew me! I would love to be a 10.
KZ says
Sew me! I have no sewing skills, but would like to start.
Hallie says
SEW ME!
I would consider myself a 2 and desperately kicking myself now for not paying attention to my mother’s sewing lessons when I was a kid. I seriously need some new drapes.
Katherine says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m at a 2 :)
Erin Rose says
SEW ME!
If Sherry is a 3, then I am undoubtedly a 2 1/2! ha :) I love sewing tho and have thus far sewn nearly all our Christmas gifts this year!
Ellie Price says
SEW ME!!!
I am a 1 but wanna be a 2!!!
Delia says
SEW ME!!!
I’m around a 5 but that’s when
sewing by hand…I WISH for a
sewing machine, pretty please
random number magic machine!!
Christina says
SEW ME
Hmm, I’d probably rate myself a 3.5. I’m trying to teach myself how to sew. My mom doesn’t sew, surpringly my dad can sew, but he’s not much for teaching. So, I’ve borrow my grandmother’s sewing machine and have been teaching myself.
An says
Sew Me!
I’m right there with you at 1…the last time I tried sewing anything, it was a lunch bag in 7th grade.
Krys says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 4. Okay, maybe closer to a 3. Or 2. I usually start off with great ideas and ambitions, but end up passing the project off to mom to finish (a solid 9!), who works on a 40 year old machine! Would LOVE to be able to give HER a new machine!
Gina S. says
SEW ME!! I’m a one but want to improve my skills. This machine would allow that to happen.
Jenny says
SEW ME! I think I am about a 5…my mom is a terrific seamstress and gave me a few lessons growing up.
kelly lanley says
Sew Me! I’m probably about a 5…as long as You Tube is by my side :)
Erin says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1, but would love to be a 3 or a 5! ;)
Erin M. says
SEW ME!
My mom “sewed” on my girl scout badges with a stapler. I am much more crafty than her, but have never tackled sewing, but I’d like to try! So…I’m about a .5
Ashley says
Sew me!
I’m probably about a 3 – know some of the basics but there’s alot more I don’t know than I do know!
Thanks!
Tracey says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3 like Sherry, but my mom is probably a 9 so I’m learning from her
Brandy says
SEW ME! I would say I am a zero but maybe I will give myself a little credit and say I am a 1 because I did make a pillow once in home ec. in junior high. I have had been thinking of trying to learn to sew and this would be the push I need to get going on it!
Anita says
SEW ME!
Is there a -1 on this scale? Anything I make turns into a giant knot of thread and fabric.
Kristina says
SEW ME!
I’m right between the two of you! Definitely a two. I can do enough to get by (like sewing on a button), but haven’t really been to accomplish much more! This would definitely help me with the decor in my newly purchased home!
Marcelle says
SEW ME!
I’m a complete novice. When I’m sewing a button I can make it look decent on the “outside”, so maybe a 3, but “inside” it’s a -5.
Kelli B says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 but am about to start taking lessons from my mom and this sounds like an awesome machine to learn on!
Nicole says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m probably a 5. I’ve made most of the curtains in my house and a handful of Halloween costumes. All look great from a far, but once you get close, it gets a little wonky.
