***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…

Rebecca says
SEW ME!
I’m around a 4.7 right now, but moving on up with some practice! I’ve been trying to make all of our Christmas gifts this year and have been using my machine a lot more this season!
Madison says
Sew Me!
I’d say I’m a 4. I’ve made a few things things with a sewing machine, including a quilt, but that was with A LOT of help from my very patient grandmother!
Heidi says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3 for skill, but 8-9 for being willing to take a risk despite my skill and try just about anything!
Emily says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a 2 or 3…I made a t-shirt quilt out of a bunch of my college and high school t-shirts and it is a bit lopsided and I broke a sewing machine in the process!
Anna M says
SEW ME…I love to sew! I feel like I sit comfortably at a 5. I could easily sew a bag…but not blindfolded, haha.
Kylie says
SEW ME! I am definitely into the negative numbers but I would love to learn!
Becky says
Sew me!
I’m probably a 3. I’m doing good to make straight lines on my curtains.
Melissa Breau says
Sew Me! Even though I’ve been sewing since I was about 8 (thanks to a very knowledgable grandmother), I’m getting bit rusty so I’m probably mid-scale… maybe a 5 or 6?
Alice says
SEW ME! I am a solid 1. I think I could figure out how to plug it in. Would love to have something new to learn!
Kelli says
Sew me!! I have zero skills but have been DYING to get a machine and learn! Pick me, pick me! :)
S653 says
SEW ME!
Just a 3 :)
Lindsey says
Sew me! I have zero skills in sewing, but I want to learn so badly!
Rebecca says
Sew me!
I think I’m about a 3 too but would love to have a good sewing machine to work with!
Elizabeth D from GA says
Sew Me!! I have been wanting to learn for a while now – I’m definitely a 1!
Michelle says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 2, but I want to be a 20! :)
Cristin says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1. But I have hopes of being higher up on the scale! My sister and mom can both sew — maybe it’s a genetic thing. :)
Siobhan says
Maybe a 2? I once made an apron in the 8th grade and the teacher gave me a B, commenting on my ‘wonky’ hemline.
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
I’m probably on par with Sherry, around a 3. Straight lines, no problem!
Alexis B. says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, but would love to be a 10. I’m a professional bellydancer and making your costumes is a whole lot cheaper than buying them, so it’s about time for me to get with it and start sewing!
Katie says
Sew me! Probably a 2 or 3. But only that high because I know how to get my sister or mom to sew for me. Hey – it gets done!
Carrie says
Sew me! I would say I am a two…anything with straight lines I can do!
Kendra says
Sew me! I’m a five but my mom is a ten – she made my wedding gown!
Jamie D says
SEW ME!
I am definately a 0 with envy of someone who is a 10.
Kelly says
SEW ME!
I’m an 8 or 9 depending on the day. :) I made my daughters Baptism gown, several outfits for her when she was a toddler, (she’s now 13 and heaven forbid mom make her anything!),and several quilts. My machine has definately seen better days and I have more quilts to make!!
Amy says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 3 – but my New Year’s Resolution is to be a 5+!
Carla says
SEW ME! I am such a 1, BUT, I’ve been seeing a lot of cute stuff on Pinterest that makes me want to try!
Shelly says
SEW ME!!! I am a 1 but this machine would make it better! :)
Jenn says
SEW ME!! I’m out of practice, but a few years ago I worked on a lot of theater costumes and sewed vests, cloaks, dresses, etc. I’ve sewn both with and without patterns. I’d put myself around a 6 or 7. I’m still no expert by any means.
Connie Marie says
SEW ME!
I’m somewhere in the middle of the scale. When my kids where little I was getting pretty good, but my machine broke and I never replaced it (so many other things needed the money, you know how it goes) and so now I’ve been itching for one, so I can start having a go at all the great things I see other people making online! Especially want to try recovering an old chair and also this style of shirt that I haven’t had any luck finding in stores anymore!
Catherine says
SEW ME!
I am definitely around a 3, just like Sherry! I have tons of projects just waiting to be made though, so I could really work on my sewing skills!
Katie says
SEW ME!
I can do a button by hand, so I think that makes me a 0.5 but I would love to be able to do more.
Lana says
Sew Me!
I’d say I’m a definite 5. I know the basics and I’ve had some success, but I avoid some sewing projects because they may take too long to learn how to do properly.
Sarah S. says
Sew me! I’m a 0, but I promise to learn if I win!
Nicole says
Sew Me!
probably a -1….but would love to learn!
Jessica says
SEW ME!
I’m for sure a 1, if not a 0.5 when it comes to sewing. But a new machine def might help!
Matty says
Sew me! I’d say a 3-5 depending on what I’m doing!
Jodi T. says
SEW ME! I am a -1 to be honest. However, I’ve been wanting a sewing machine for a very long time, so that I could learn :)
Kara says
Sew me! I’d rank myself a solid 5. I do okay but nothing I’ve made would win any awards.
Megan L. says
SEW ME! I am probably a 1 or 2, need some practice!
Meghan A says
SEW ME!
I’m around a 6. I’m comfortable on a machine, but there’s no sewing anything blindfolded!
Robin says
Sew me
I’m probably a 4-5. I can never find what I want in window covering so I end up making my own and I only like inverted box pleats.
Rachel says
SEW ME!
I’ve sewed quite a bit through the years – some clothes, some gifts, some house items. I should sew more, but don’t with the addition of two sons in the household! HA! Maybe I’ll get back to it when they grow up some.
Emily says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a -3 on a good day. I’d love to learn so I can make pillow covers!
shelley johannes says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. But I did sew a pair of sweat pants during sixth grade home ec? Does that count for anything?
shelley johannes says
Reading through the comments, I see I’m not the only one with middle school as our my only sewing accolade. No matter how old I get, I still feel far too connected to the goofy sixth grader that I was.
Meaghan says
SEW ME!
I would say I am a level 2, but I’ve always wanted to start sewing! SO COOL!
Laura S. says
SEW ME!
I’m a 5 on a good day.
Jen G. says
SEW ME!
I just did my first baby quilt (for my best friend’s new daughter) and am now hooked! I’ve been planning to purchase a sewing machine (since I’d borrowed my sister’s for the first quilt), so this would be awesome!
Ashley says
SEW ME!
I am a terrible sew-ist. I’d rank myself around a 2, probably.
Jodi says
Probably around a 3-4, but I don’t have a machine so I’m forever sending stuff to my mom to fix. With a machine, maybe I could make myself a 5-6 :)
Andria says
SEW ME!
I feel like I’m a 5. I know what I’m doing making quilts, but have yet to venture out and try other things.
