***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…

SEW ME!
Unfortunately a 1, but I need to learn! And I need a sewing machine!
Meredith says
Sew me!!
I’m a wonky 3 for sure, but I aspire to be a 10 some day!
Jenny says
SEW ME! I’m about 4. I have big plans to make lots of pillows, so this would be awesome!
Jamie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 or maybe a 3 on a good day.
Erin Marmelstein says
SEW ME!
I am probably around a 5. Zippers and button holes still confound me.
Leanne says
SEW ME! I am definately a 1. I have wanted to learn how to sew for a while now and what a perfect way to learn would be with the easiest sewing machine out there!
Tracy Funk says
SEW ME
I am a 1 with my sewing skills but really want to start learning!!
Trilby says
SEW ME!
I would like to say I’m a 3, but realistically I’m probably a 1! I would love to get better, I have some projects I want to do that require sewing :)
Serafina says
SEW ME! I used to be a 6/7, but haven’t had much time to sew lately ;\ so am probably like a 3/4
Mia B says
Sew Me! I would say I’m a 3. Not at all proficient at using a machine, but have faked my way pretty handily with some manual sewing when the no-sew tape failed me!
Beth says
SEW ME!
I’m low a 2-3 perhaps. I stick with buttons and maybe closing up a pillow with a whip-stitch.
Samantha says
SEW ME! I took a sewing class as a 12 year old and ended up making everyone PJ pants and tote bags for Christmas. The best present Santa ever got me was my own sewing machine. But that was a long time ago and I’d love to get back into sewing.
Julie K says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 2…I was a rockstar sewer in girl scouts as a kid, but haven’t done anything sewing related since.
Kendra says
SEW ME! I’m a 2, but I’m going to blame it on that old machine I was using. It “disappeared” during our move a few years ago. I’m confident I could be at least a 5 with this one!
Shannon says
SEW ME!
In my own mind, I’m a 5 – but in reality I am definitely more like a 3!
Amy says
Sew Me! Definitely a negative 2 at this point, but would love to learn!
Hanna says
Sew Me – I’d say I’m a 3 or 4, but I confess to sewing mostly on paper.
Tara says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 2. I made the no-sew curtains, but then added a sleeve using a sewing machine, plus I made the crib skirt using the machine. I don’t feel confident using a sewing machine, but I want one! Mamahood has awakened my craftiness!
Rebecca says
SEW ME!!!
If there were negative number, I would probably give myself a -15. Seriously, I am that bad. I once sewed a button on a jacket, then realized that I sewed the back of the jacket to the front. . . oops.
Barbara says
SEW ME!
I cannot sew, but I cannot resist an international giveaway…
Lauren says
“SEW ME!”
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
Sadly, I’m a 1. I asked for a sewing machine for my last birthday though. I really want to learn!
Ashley says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1. I need lessons. :-)
lynn says
Sew me! I think I’m maybe a 4… I used to be much better, but my ooold sewing machine is so touchy, i haven’t used it in a long time. A while ago i was good enough to make stuffed animals (not etsy quality, but passible). But i haven’t been that good in a while. This pretty machine would sure inspire me!
Andrea says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5 or 6. I’ve been sewing since I was little but I could definitely still refine my skills:)
Shay says
SEW ME!
I’m a big fat zero – but would love to learn!!
Amy says
SEW ME!
My horrible skills from middle school home ech (around a 3)were dormant until I decided to dust them off to make my bumpers and a crib skirt for my baby (now still around a 3).
Rachel says
SEW ME! I’ve never used a sewing machine, but my grandmother was a seamstress, so maybe it’s in my DNA?
Heather {ModernMealsforTwo} says
Sew me!
I’m a rusty 2 who could probably revive some dormant home ec skills if I win this machine. Future status: 4!
Katie C says
SEW ME! I live in the 3-4 range. It takes me a while but I can put something together.
Jen says
Sew me!!! I’d be about a sherry in ability!! Yay for intl shipping!!
Meghan says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1 but maybe some day I’ll be a 10 or at least >5. (a girl can dream right?!)
Amanda says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3 but this is exactly what I need to do some of the great YHL projects I’ve seen! Love!
Michele says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a 5. I have a really old machine that’s on it’s last leg and REALLY need a new one!
Emma says
Sew me!
I guess i am about a 4 or a 5. I made a quilt with my grandma in middle school but haven’t touched the sewing machine since!
Sarah says
Sew me! I’m probably around a 5 or 6……….I think??
Shanna says
SEW ME! I’m a complete and utter novice with a strong desire to be a 10, or sew a wonky bag at the very least, haha.
Melody Barton says
SEW ME!
I’m probably at a 1. I can sew buttons back on, and perhaps fix a hem that comes undone, but my technique is iffy at best. However, if I win this machine, maybe some cute pillows are in my future!
LouiseM says
SEW ME!
Probably a 5 – sewed a lot growing up in school however lack of use has diminished my level. Only sewed pillows and curtains hems lately but looking to kick it up a notch .
Lauren says
SEW ME! I used to sew a lot. It’s been years, though. I’d love to get back to it.:-)
Ashley says
SEW ME!
I think I’m somewhere between a 2 and 3. In high school, I became obsessed with making pillows during home ec class -ignore the fact they were all oddly-shaped and were more like a cotton-stuffed fleece…thing.
Kathryn says
Sew me! I’m a passable sewer, as long as the project has straight lines and takes 10 minutes or less. I have the patience of a gnat. My daughter is uber crafty though and we just rearranged the basement so she could have a sewing nook(which you can see on the blog). She has my machine now, which isn’t bad, but she would just love this one. Kid designs and makes stuffed animals and all sorts of things.
Cindy says
SEW ME! I rate myself a 4. I’ve made a few simple things but would love to learn how to do more.
Emily says
SEW ME!
I’m a moderate sewer. My mom is a sewer and crafter so whatever I know is from my mom while growing up and I have to say that I’m not too shabby.
kylee says
SEW ME! I am a self-taught amateur, but enjoy making baby quilts for friends and family.
Heidi says
“SEW ME”!
I am a 4, I can do basic curtains or pillows but am trying to improve my skills!
Carolyn says
Sew Me! I think i am a 5, with the potential to be a 10 with loads of practice and a few mishaps along the way!
Alice says
Sew Me! I am a 2 at sewing and I want to be at least a 5!
Josephine Freeman says
SEW ME!
I rank myself about 5 – I am enthusiastic but not particularly naturally gifted! I sew with a clunky old heavy 50s Singer at the moment and would love to upgrade to something a lot easier to use, and to lift!
Mel V. says
Sew Me!
I’m maybe a four – I can hem jeans, make simple curtains, and even do Halloween costumes. But that’s where it stops!
