***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…

Annie says
SEW ME.
I’m a 2. Could probably manage to put something together, but it wouldn’t be pretty!
Kate says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. But my fiance is a 2 and wants to fix his own work pants!
Lauren says
Maybe a 3? My sister is about a 9 though, so I’m pretty jealous.
Giulia says
sew me…I’m probably a 5…I learned to sew on a sewing machine when I was 13 and used to make dresses, bags, etc, but these days I go for the fast and simple projects.
Victoria says
SEW ME! I am probably a 3. I understand how the machines work, I know about different types of fabric for different projects, but that doesn’t mean I could sew a straight line to save my life.
Kristen Paulson says
SEW ME!!
I am absolutely without a doubt a -2 on the sewing expert spectrum. I can barely sew a button, nevermind use a machine to create masterpieces. BUT(!) I just bought a new house and am dying to learn to sew my own schtuff.
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 but I want to learn!
Amanda says
SEW ME!
Um, guess about a 3 or 4 with things like bags, quilts, and accessories.
I tried an apron once and it turned out a hot mess so a big fat 0 on clothing.
HMMF says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 3 with ambitions to become at least a 5!
Jeni says
SEW ME!
and I’m probably a 3.
Emily says
SEW Me!
I’m a 3 or 4, but an easier to use sewing machine (or anything better than my $25 thrift store find) might elevate my skills.
Lauren says
SEW ME! A 2 if that.
Jen says
See me! Would rank myself a 6. I’ve made a few decent sewing projects over the years.
Hilary @ My So-Called Home says
Sew me! Yeah, definitely a 1
Bethany says
Sew me! I’m a 3 or 4, I can usually get the job done, but it’s definitely not professional!
Rebeka says
SEW ME! I’m a 2, maybe a 3 on a good day!
Angie says
SEW ME!
I’m somewhere in the middle. I know my way around a sewing machine and can sew a straight line really really well. But if asked to sew anything too fancy, I’d probably blow it.
Lisa Ramey says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, for sure. I can sew on a button, but that’s about it :)
Rebecca H. says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 – can’t even sew a button back on. But I am a quick learner and would love to know more.
amy c says
SEW ME…
maybe a 4? i’ve managed to whip out some projects that i’m pretty proud of and that look pretty decent, if you don’t look too close ;), but i’m certainly not great at it and straight lines give me fits =)
Pebbles says
Sew me!! My sewing skills are probably around a 2. I can make pillows and recently simply halloween costumes.
Kari says
Sew me! I am at about a 3, but want to get better!
Kelly says
SEW ME!
Probably a 3? I can throw together a few things… just don’t look too closely at the seams.
Claire says
SEW ME! I would say I am a solid 4 on the sewing scale. Looking to improve though!
Jen MacD. says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 4. I’ve completed a few pillow covers/curtain projects, and just start my most ambitious project to date – handmade Christmas stockings for me, my husband, and my two dogs. :-)
Kathy says
SEW ME!! I’m not a pro, but my Mom taught me to sew when I was in 6th grade, then I taught lessons at a local fabric store when I was in Middle School. I love to sew and have made a number of quilts, curtains, etc. BUT prefer to make anything but clothes.
Lindsey R says
SEW ME!!!
Im a 1 but I have always wanted to learn just scared to spend the money on something I may not be very good at
Savannah says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 4 or 5. Still have lots to learn.
Michael says
SEW ME
I don’t sew…but this would be the best xmas gift ever for my wife ;-)
Erin says
Sew me! Maybe a 3 on a good day
JLS says
SEW ME! I am probably a 6. I can sew quite a bit, but I should do more to get better at it. I have a very simple Singer currently, but it would be great to upgrade!
AnnieS says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 5. I’m pretty confident when I put my mind to sewing something, but I’m far from being able to do it blindfolded. I look forward to sewing some pillowcase dresses for my daughter this spring/summer season.
Becca G. says
Sew Me! Is 0.5 an option? That’s probably where I’d be – totally hopeless when it comes to knowing what to do with needle and thread (though I have big dreams of bags, curtains, and quilts galore…). My mom is an amazing talent and I’d love to be able to make her something as great as what she’s made me over the years!
Abby says
Sew me!! I’m definitely a 0….never touched a machine in my life but have REALLY been wanting to learn.
Betsy says
SEW ME!
Well, I used to be pretty decent but time has slipped away and I haven’t sewn much in quite awhile. I’d LOVE to get back into it but unfortunately my grandma’s sewing machine (which I love for sentimental reasons) isn’t too functional anymore. I’d love a new Singer to get me back to my (lofty?) level 5!
SarahA says
SEW ME!
I recently made 2 throw pillow covers out of Target clearance napkins – super proud of myself!
Maddie G says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 on the sew-skill scale.
Frances says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2. I can sew on buttons and sometimes fix undone hems…. with hemming tape. But I have always wanted to learn! My mother is a great sew-er and never has the time to show either my me or my sister.
Julie R says
SEW ME!
Probably a 3. :- )
Liene says
SEW ME!
probably around 3.
Shannon Cooper says
SEW ME!! I am probably a 3. I failed the part in home economics where we had to sew boxers and a pillow case. Oops!
Allison Murphy says
SEW ME!
I’m a 10 and could REALLY use a new machine!
Jennifer says
Sew ME!!!
Lindsay says
Sew me!
I can sew by hand – that’s it! I was banned from my Mother’s sewing machine for getting thread in places thread should never go.. Would love to try this purdy ‘lil thing out though!
Jamie says
SEW ME!
On a good day, i’m a 6 or so, but i so want to be a 10! i keep practicing on a machine from 1963, so i’m not sure i’ll ever get there!
Erin says
SEW ME!
On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m about a 7. My grandmother taught me to sew when I was really young. And my mom was the queen of tailored seams.
Gina says
SEW ME!
I don’t think I’ve ever even shared a room with a sewing machine, but that’s why I have my lovely girlfriend, who loves to sew and would probably appreciate this fine piece of machinery.
Ashley Bible says
Sew me!!! I’m probably a 3 as well. I love it, but everything I make comes out looking, well, homemade ….but not in a good way .
cs white says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a wonky-bag 3!
Holly says
SEW ME!
A 3, but this machine would help me reach a 5 ;)
