***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…

Abby K says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2 in the sewing world. My mother is a sewing guru and I know just enough to be dangerous from her. I’d love to become a real seamstress!
Amanda K says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 with aspirations of an 7 or 8, 10 will never be within my reach and I’m realistic about that :)
Kat says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m about a 3. But I love sewing!
Courtney Leigh says
SEW ME!
Add another 3 to the bunch. Sewing is not my most skilled craft, but I have to think it would be easier with this lovely machine!!
Samantha says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 3-4. I’ve only sewn a couple of pillows on a borrowed machine but if it wasn’t so annoying for me to keep asking to borrow, I’d keep going back for more! If I had my own..pillows for everyone!!
Alisha N says
4/5! We’ve sewn a lot for our new house. I love being able to make exactly what I want. I still have a whole bunch to learn though.
lisa says
SEW ME! i am about a 2 on sewing skills, but hoping to become a pro if i win this sewing machine!:)
Emily says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably like a 7 or 8… I better be, I majored in Family and Consumer Sciences (Home Economics)in college.
Marci says
“SEW ME”. I think I’d fall into the 8 or 9 range but my sweet 5 yr old daughter is probably a 2 or 3 and she desperately needs an upgrade from her chain stitch machine!!!
Liz says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 3-4. I can sew a straight line most of the time but nothing complicated!
Melora says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 2. I’ve made a few blankets, & took a class back in high school, but otherwise, don’t sew much. It’s one of my goals for 2013!
Jennifer says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4. I’ve made an ironing board cover and a Halloween costume, so I’m not awful, but I need a lot more practice.
Venus Sanders says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 7. I currently go to my mom’s house to use hers. I would love to have one of my own.
Lo says
SEW ME! I’m a zero
Sara C says
SEW ME!!
I probably rank a 5 on the sewing scale….I can sew buttons, curtains, basic quilts, but only when I am visiting my mother and can use her (VERY nice) sewing machine. Would love to have my own….
Katelyn Hickman says
SEW ME!!! I’d say I’m about on par with Sherry and would consider myself a 3, although I’ve been looking at getting a machine so I can start doing some more advanced stuff.
Donna Stephens says
SEW ME! I am probably a 4 but I only do simple things…pillows, hemming etc…forget clothing-they always look just wrong!!
Jennifer says
Yes, please! Sew Me. I have a very basic machine that has fostered me from a 1- about a 4 or 5. I want to be a 10!
Jessica Mumford says
SEW ME!
#2. No, not THAT number 2.
Alexa says
SEW ME! I’d say a 7. I can follow a simple pattern and sew strait lines, but no fancy finishing work. I have my grandmothers 60’s Singer – an upgrade would be awesome!!
Alexa says
now that I read some of your other comments, maybe I’m a 5.
Ginnie says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a -1. My mom would be a 15, and she taught me to sew when I was little, but now I’d probably somehow manage to sew myself into a bag and not be able to get out! But I’ve been wanting to get back into it since having a daughter of my own. This would be a fabulous start!
Eileen says
Sew me.
-2.
I used to be able to do pillows and any straight line but somehow my skills disappeared during college. Now that I am in a cozy apartment seeking new pillows with invisible zippers (scary!) I can’t get my old one to work.
Thank you!
Mel-The Organic Mamas says
SEW ME !!
yipee – an international competition. i’d rate myself a 5 – as long as whatever I am sewing is square!! Which is very funny as I make organic cotton cushions for a living!!

Dalia says
SEW ME!
My sewing skill suck, but this would be a great gift for my grandma!
Eleonora says
SEW ME! I’m a 5 or 6, not a pro, but not bad either
Christy says
SEW ME!
Absolutely a 1…no, more likely a 0
Beth says
I’d say I’m an 8+. In high school I used to make a lot of my own clothes and learned a lot about patterns, etc. Now I can make quite a few things without a pattern. I also know how to quilt and have done some patchwork and appliqué. I definitely have room for improvement, but am no rookie :-)
Rebekah says
Sew me!!! I’m a 3 – I could sew something, but don’t look too close!
Michelle says
This giveaway is sew me! Actually, not really, but it may motivate me. I’m a solid 3 on the sewing skills. I do think fabric has the potential to “make a room come alive”, “pull things all together” and any number of other platitudes, so having a machine to facilitate that would be pretty handy!
Kate says
Sew me!
I would be a wonky 2… Thanks to sewing lessons in high school, but would love to improve my skills!
Tina C. says
Sew me! I think I’m a solid 5. I’ve sewn a wonky Halloween costume and some curtains for our home (which look ok…from a distance).
Emily s says
Sew me!
I’m a 3. I can’t use patterns at all, but if it’s something I can figure out myself I can do it.
annie says
SEW ME!
i think i’m a 5. i struggle with zippers.
Tanya K says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 but would love to work my way up to a 10 someday!
Kayleigh says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 3. Once I read the manual and figure out how to thread the machine, I can make some basic things. I would love to be better… my whole family is so crafty, with the exception of me.
Lisa says
Sew me!! I am about a 2 – I can repair things/ sew really simple stuff but need some serious help when sewing clothes. Lisa :)
Amy says
SEW ME!!
I’m definitely a 1 but I just signed up for my first sewing class in hopes of becoming a 10!
MegS says
SEW ME!
I probably rank right up with Sherry at a 3. I sewed my family cloth grocery bags for Christmas last year :) and that would be the extent of my skills…
Sarah says
SEW ME! I’m working up to a 5…considering my first attempt had to be ripped out! I’m now able to sew a quilt with instructions.
Cecile says
SEW ME!
I can’t sew. At all. I think if I did know how to sew then I’d probably be unstoppable ;)
Brittney says
SEW ME! Maybe a 5 or 6 on the sewing scale. I don’t think I could make an outfit or anything but I can whip up a mean throw pillow!
Kathleen says
SEW ME! I’m an intermediate sewer on an ancient hand-me-down machine. I could really do with a new machine to improve my skills.
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I too am a 3. I can patch jeans and hem things, but that’s about it…and I probably don’t even do those right.
Dara says
sew me! i’m a 1 but would love to learn.
M.J. Robidoux says
Sew me!
I am about a 1.5 but with a new sewing machine i am sure i could get up to a 3 or 4!
Kristi says
SEW ME!
Definitely a one. My grandma is an amazing sewer, easily an 10, and I would love to learn and carry on the tradition.
Nicole says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. More than likely I fall into the no sew category and use bonding adhesive for everything. That stuff is amazing!
stephieZ says
“SEW ME!”
Sadly I’m a one, but I wish I actually could sew. I have some many plans, just no knowledge.
sheetal says
SEW ME – I’m a newbee at sewing and would love to give it a try!
Leigh says
Sew me!
I am definitely a 1 but I really want to learn.
