***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…

Meghan B says
SEW ME!
Yeah for international giveaway!!
I am probably a 2… I have sewn buttons onto things before! But I was just thinking I want to become more sewing savvy so this would be perfect!!
Kristina says
SEW ME! I rank myself as a 2. Give me a pair of socks to darn – man is that stitching beau-ti-ful! And my hand sewn pillows… well, they’re not that crooked :)I am dying to try out my limited skills on a machine far too superior for me!
Rachel says
SEW ME!!!
I’m more of a 5…can make it up as I go along, but have some much needed improvement needed! But hey, it’s all about having fun!
Jessica says
SEW ME!
I’m probably also around a 3. I learned to sew a long time ago and recently inherited my grandma’s machine, so now it’s just a matter of getting it out and actually using it!
Beth L. says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 5. I did make my daughter’s halloween costume this year, a penguin. However, I’ve been struggling to put a zipper into a pillow case this week.
Jen says
Sew Me! I think I’m around a 4. Straight lines are my friend when it comes to sewing!
Vilma says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, for sure. But if I had a sewing machine, I know I could up to at least a 5!!
Kasia says
I SEW want this big bad beautiful machine. I am probably only a 2 on the scale, but learning to sew has been on my top 5 list every year since I can remember. Will this be the year? Please!
Mary Sniezek says
Sew Me! My grandmother would be disappointed but I am about a 3. My hand stitching is actually better.
Ashley {The North Carolina Cowgirl} says
SEW ME!
I sew everything by hand. Recently made my son a pillow case and did it all by hand. Took like 4 hours but did it. Would love a sewing machine!
Laylacharli says
Sew me! Definitely a wonky bagger! A 1 with aspirations to be a 7!
Christa @ a*typicaljourney says
SEW ME!
I’d call myself a 5. I feel like sewing comes pretty naturally to me – understanding how things are constructed and being able to closely mimic their design… HOWEVER, I don’t know many tips and tricks to make everything look polished and professional. I can make it, but it looks handmade. Which is ok, I guess :)
Jill says
SEW ME!
I’d give myself or 4-5…unless we’re talking about making clothes. Then I’m a big fat 0.
Alisha Lombardi says
SEW Me! I’m a 0! got no skills , but want to learn!
Rose says
SEW ME!
I can fix a pre-existing hem, but can’t create my own. I think I’m a 1, rather than a 0 on a scale from 1 – 10.
SEW ME! says
I’m probably a 3 or 4. Id love the chance to get some more practice!
Hayley says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 5 or 6. I’m better at sewing things for my home like curtains or a quilt. I’ve even made a few bags/totes. I’m a little scared to try sewing something like clothes, but I’d like to one day!
marilu says
“SEW ME!” Newbie here…
Elaine says
SEW ME!!
I am maybe a 5 if I can find good instructions!
Maggie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably pretty close to Sherry, a 2 or 3. I can operate a sewing machine, and have big plans to sew throw pillow covers and curtains for our new home. Not having to schlep my supplies to my SILs or her sewing machine to our house would be awesome!
Love your blog – found it just recently while looking for tips on painting all the brass doorknobs throughout our house!
karli says
Sew me! I’m probably along a 2 or 3. I can make curtains or a Halloween costume.
Emily B says
SEW ME! I am about a 4. I can a non-wonky bag, floor pillows, etc., but nothing too crazy!
Ashley says
SEW ME!! Santa must be in charge of this giveaway, since I have asked for a Singer for Christmas!! I would say I’m a 5 in sewing skills, but practice makes perfect!!
Ali Middleton says
sew me!!! i’m probably a 2. which is why this would be so neat to win!
Patricia Wind says
SEW ME!
Things shake out at about a level 4 around this house. Straight line sewing like pillows stands a much better chance. I would love a machine with a hem stitch. That’s a great function!
Pat Q says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 5 but the sewing machine is broken, so haven’t used this skill in awhile!
Emily says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 2, I can sew a bedcover or the occasional skirt from leftover fabric….
Liz C. says
SEW ME!
I’m at “I can sew a button”-level…my mother was just telling me sewing was the one thing she wishes she taught me when I was younger. Never too late to learn though!
Kathy says
SEW ME!!
I would say I am about a 7. My mother made me take home ec all three years in junior high which made me an ubber geek thank goodness she didn’t make me take it in high school.
Carrie O says
‘SEW ME!’
I would probably rank my skills as a 1. However, I would dream to be a 10 and sew my own clothes to save the moolah. Haha.
Cindy says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 2 in sewing – maybe the sewing machine could help me be an 8?!
Ashley K says
SEW ME!I think I’m a 5. I could do a pattern if I have to. I can rock a mean curtain, pillow, or any other square shape . . . One day I’ll graduate to more fancy things, but as of now, pillows and curtains are the only thing I need!
Meg says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 3.
Shauna says
Sew Me!
I’m a 6ish. I’m awesome with straight seams and have made a couple quilts, some reusable grocery bags, some simple pillow animals and a purse. Just once and I messed up on one part. But we are remodeling our entire house and would absolutely LOVE to have a sewing machine that does more than a few basic stitches.
Jen B says
SEW ME!!!
With my current yard sale machine I’m at a 0. This would be so fun….everyone would be getting sewn christmas and birthday gifts for life! :)
Rebecca says
Sew me!
I’m totally a 1, but my stepmother is like an 11! I’m on mat leave right now with my second kid, and I’d love to take the time to learn from her while I’ve got it. (Seriously, you should see the quilts she can just dash off whenever she feels like it – they’re unreal!)
Kati L says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 2-3, but I’d like to get better!
Melissa says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 2, but have wanted a sewing machine for sew (haha) long.
Danielle says
SEW ME!! I’m probably a 2. I can do the basic baby blanket with straight lines and that’s about it. Would love to learn more!!
Lindsey says
Sew Me! Definitely a 1
Leanne says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 4 or 5. But then I think about sewing things like button holes and zippers and realize that, Whoa…I’m not a 5. And am I the only one who can’t get the “sew a straight line and then just pull the loose threads on one end and *poof* Ruffle!” thing down???
Erin says
SEW ME!
I’m such a bad sewer that in a summer school sewing class in 7th grade I sewed my finger. Literally … stuck that needle (on the machine) straight through my fingernail into my finger. BUT, I’m over my fear and getting better. This weekend I actually made a pillow all by myself!
Nikki says
SEW ME!!
I am probably a 3 or a 4. I have sewn things in the past, but I have since fallen out of practice. And my hand-sewing skills leave something to be desired. But my long-term goal is to make a quilt for our king-size bed (read: LONG term lol).
Sarah says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5. I can get my sew on, but also have a few things to learn! I’m using a thrifted maching now, and would love this awesome one you are giving away!
Katherine says
SEW ME
I’m really a 1, but in my heart a 10.
Mandi says
I’m a 0. I can’t even sew on a loose button.
amc says
SEW ME! I decided to take sewing lessons about a year and half ago. After 6 weeks of lessons, I still do not have the pillow covers I intended. Thus, I am only a 2.
Leslie C says
SEW ME!
..I’d rank my self about a 2. I took an apparel production class in college. That was the last time I’ve used a machine but have been dying to get back on one!
Annie says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 5? I can make stuff with a pattern, not so much freehand. My mom though, def a 9/10 so if I win this, it’s hers.
Trisha says
SEW ME!!! I’m around 3 but would like to improve :0)
