***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…

Nikki says
SEW ME! I am a 10! Oh wait if we are talking about sewing skills then I am more like a 5.
Kristi says
SEW ME!
I could use it for so many things!
emily says
SEW ME!
I’m a one. It’s embarrassing, and not for lack of trying on my mom’s part. Or my dad’s. Or my home ec teacher’s…but I’m determined to learn in my adulthood. Please help!
Lindsey says
Sew me!!
I’d give myself a 2. My grandmother taught me some basic hand stitches, but I’ve only used a sewing machine twice. The thought of the projects I could take on with that baby makes me drool…
Kathryn says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2 – I can’t do too much beyond sewing on a button but would love to learn!
Amanda says
SEW ME! I have a very old singer . . . I am working on finishing my 5th quilt for one of my cousins children and a new machine would be amazing!!!
Chrystal says
Sew me! I would probably be a 6ish!
Amanda says
SEW ME! Based on that description of a three, I’m probably a 4 or 5. I’ve pushed through a few baby/kid projects that have given me good practice, and I try to do something a little harder each time.
Izaskun says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 1/2 trying to become a 5
Laura @ Chaotic Domestic says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m somewhere around 2. I remember using a sewing machine in home ec and was surprisingly good at it… but I haven’t used one since. So, I’m hoping at least that basic skill would come back to me. Great giveaway, I was just talking about wanting a sewing machine. Hopefully if I don’t win, I still get one from Santa :)
Jill says
SEW ME!!
Definitely a 1. So sad.
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1 – but I have been daydreaming about owning a sewing machine (and learning how to make my own drapes, and pillows, and clothes) for years now! I want to learn!
Julie D says
Sew Me! I’m certainly a 1, but eager to learn!
Monia says
Sew ME! Probably about a 3-4. Haven’t sewed in a while, but would love to have a machine to fiddle with! I never buy anything off TV, but I stared at NBC shopping channel for almost an entire segment of a sewing machine for sale just today!
Mariah says
Sew me! I am a 2 with a machine. But looking to improve!
cc says
SEW ME!
I’d call myself a middle of the road 5 or 6, because I know just enough about sewing to see how much I don’t know!
Emily Bachor says
Sew Me! I am definitely a beginner.
Melissa F says
SEW ME! I have no sewing skills but great hopes of learning to do it. I definitely need an easy to use machine!
Carrie says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2. I can figure it out, but i can’t follow directions to save my life and have to make it up as I go.
Paige says
SEW ME!
I made a lot of my xmas gifts last year on my mom’s sewing machine. I had *sew* much fun ;-)
I’d love to have one of my own so I can practice more.
Rachel says
SEW ME…
I’m not very good at sewng but I’m constantly trying to get better!
Erin says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2 or 3. I can sew some easy stuff, just not well!
But I’d love to make some stuff for the girl and the pup!
Jennie says
“SEW ME!”
Sarah says
SEW ME! I’d sadly have to confess that I’m no more than a 2 on the sewing scale. We can’t all be winners.
Jenny says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5. I might not sew my fingers together but I wouldn’t be a tapestry queen either.
Megan says
SEW ME!
I’m a bit rusty on my sewing skills, so I’d say I’m a 2 looking to be an 8 someday :)
Courtney says
SEW ME!
Heather says
SEW ME!
I think I am about a 3. I can hem things, but when I tried to make a dress for my daughter, I got stumped with the sleeves and had to do those hand.
Jan Thompson says
SEW ME!! I am probably a 5. I can sew a straight line like no ones business and with some help I can do more detailed items.
Alaina Kommer says
I am a 1, for sure. I’ve been eyeing this machine because I’m anxious to learn!
Rhonda says
SEW ME!
I’m at about a 2. I can make cloth wipes and hem some pants. That’s about it!
Lisa says
SEW ME!
I’m probably 3-4. I’m pretty good at anything made with straight lines. Beyond that things get pretty iffy…
elanak says
SEW ME!
I am maybe a one. I can hem a pair of pants or replace a button, but that’s about it. I have been dying to get a sewing machine and learn, though, so this is quite a timely giveaway. Thanks as always!
sara says
“SEW ME!”
I’d say that I’m about a 2. I love it and find it so relaxing that I want to continue to improve my skills
Meredith says
SEW ME! I am teetering around the 5/6 mark. I can sew…with a pattern and if I don’t kill the machine in my frustration. ;)
Tiffannie says
SEW ME! I’m maybe around a 7. I’m comfortable with my current (very basic and past it’s prime) machine, but I’m completely self-taught so I probably do a bunch of stuff “wrong”.
holly says
SEW ME! I am probably and 5-6. I know a lot, but don’t have time to sharpen my skills. A better sewing machine would help.
Roseanna says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m around a 2. I’ve tried making a few things but they usually end up lopsided!
Mary Ellen says
SEW ME!
Currently a 0-1 but am dying to learn…I have a mental list of so many projects I”d love to try and tackle!
Katherine says
SEW ME!
Are there negative numbers on this scale? ‘Cuz that’s where I’d be.
I never learned how to sew…grew up in one of those homes where even my Girl Scout badges were attached with no-sew tape. But now that I’ve got a home of my own and a daughter of my own, I’m dying to learn (and my list of projects just keeps getting longer and longer).
Jamie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 6-7 (I may be embelishing a bit here – hehe). I like sewing clothes, bags, whatever. I even made an ottoman!
PS – I do all of my sewing on a singer almost TWICE my age that my mother bought years before I was even a thought in her head. Singer is the best of the best IMO!
Megan @ Rappsody in Rooms says
SEW ME oh pretty pretty please. I was literally just talking to some co-workers about how bad I am at sewing and how I want to learn! Then I sit down and BAM! Here this post is!
Michelle says
SEW ME! I’ve never sewed, but I know my sister could show me a thing or two!
Kirpi says
Sew me!
I would say I’m around a 5 – I enjoy sewing clothes for my little girl. She is only 1.5y old, so I don’t have that much experience yet. And I’m so glad that I can enter this giveaway – thank you for international shiping! :)
Stephanie M. says
SEW ME!
A 1…and that’s iffy. I can stitch a hole, but that’s about it. I’d love to pick up the hobby though!
Carolyn says
Sew me!
Who knew sewing a bag is the litmus test for sewing skills?
Either way, I’m a zero. Until I win this machine, then I’m a ten!
Chelsea Asermely says
“SEW ME!” probably a 4 or so. I actually asked for sewing machine for xmas (with several eye rolls from the parents) so you’re my last shot! Fingers crossed.
Amy C says
Sew me! I’m about a 6 or 7. I’ve been sewing most of my life but there is always (a lot of) room for improvement!
Mila G says
SEW ME!!!
I’d say I’m a 2 – but i’m a minus 1 with a machine…all those buttons…
Maury @ Life on Mars says
SEW ME!
I’m probably beginnger to intermediate. I’ve attempted somethings that have worked out and others that have not as much.
