***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…

Amanda says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2, but I have high hopes of sewing/altering my own clothes, making things I find on pinterest/blogs, and reupholstering furniture too! This machine can help me do all that, right? lol! – I know I’m gonna have to work hard at it, but it’s been a goal of mine to do this and I’m really excited about this giveaway. Whether I win or not, though, I’m gonna get a machine and do it!
Amanda says
“SEW ME!”
Yep, I’ll say I’m right there with Sherry at 3.
Hannah says
SEW ME!
Probably about a 2
Sally says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m about a 4 on the sewing skills level, I vaguely remember making a pair of pajamas with my grandmother years ago (the kind with long sleeves, too many buttons, pretty cuffs and all) but right now I just need to make some curtains for our obnoxiously odd-sized windows, and a few throw pillows :-)
Nicolas says
Sew me! I’m definitely a zero, but my wife really wants to take it up, and a sewing machine would be a fantastic way to get her started!
Julia says
SEW ME!
A four- still pretty wonky.
Beth says
Sew me!
I am a solid 1, having never sewed more than a straight line (for a blanket) in my life. A sewing machine is on my Christmas list, though, as I have ambitions for becoming a 2 or maybe even a 3.
Julia says
Sew me! I am maybe a 1.5? I asked for a sewing machine for Christmas so I can improve my skills a bit, but not sure I’m going to get one-this would be great!
Connie says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 5… I’ve made some pillows and hemmed some pants, but could definitely learn a thing or two…
Veronica B says
SEW ME!
I would probably say I’m a 5 or 6, I know how to use one and have even tackled things like skirts, pillows, bags and curtains – but I could definitely improve. I have an old hand-me-down machine that is broken; I would love a nice shiny new one :).
steph says
SEW ME!
probably a 5, still learning lots!
Kate Ediger says
SEW ME! I’m a 1.5. Maybe a 2 on a good day. I have had the pleasure of learning how to re-thread the bobbin via phone….with my Dad. He only knew how because he had spent many times helping my mom figure it out (who is probably an 8). I had inherited her old machine and dad managed to make it work on the phone. I thought that was pretty impressive!
Jeni says
SEW ME and I’m a total newbie!
qs777 says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, but my husband thinks he is a 9 and actually wants a sewing machine for Christmas! He wants to be able to buy pants and hem them for himself and the kids. He still talks about the winter jacket he made in middle school! haha!
Darlene w says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills are in the 3-4 range. I can sew quilts but buttons or zippers are out!
Torey says
SEW ME. . I can sew simple things by hand, but can’t use a machine. My mother was an excellent seamstress and I always hoped she’d teach me to sew someday (as a child it was all so confusing when I attempted to learn). Sadly she died of ovarian cancer 4 years ago and was sick for the previous 4 years, so we never had the chance. I’d really love to learn to sew with a machine and know that she would be so proud.
Meaghan says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 4. I always need someone to tell me how to use the machine, and then I can sew pretty much anything. Well, more like pretty much anything I have actually tried.
Betsy M says
SEW ME!
Well, maybe around the 5 range depending on how many of my kids are in the room at the time trying to “help”. My little girls may cry with joy if I won a sewing machine as I told them when I get a new machine they can have mine. Our fingers are crossed. :)
Kari says
SEW ME…
Or maybe I should say: unfortunately not sew me! My sewing skills are definitely a 1, but I’ve been DYING to learn… and this would make for an excellent 12/12/12 birthday gift!
Jen says
SEW ME
A 1, maybe even a 0.
Sarah says
Sew me!
I am a zero on the sewing scale but I’d love to learn!
Kelsey says
SEW ME!! PLEASE!!
I would give myself a 4.5. I can sew on a button, loosely hem some pants…but I definitely need work!
Melissa says
SEW ME! I wish I were up to a 3…maybe a 2.5 these days? Straight lines are my friends. My sewing experience is limited to my grandmother’s (now mine)Singer Featherweight circa 1940-something. My grandmother was a 10 with that thing! I’ve got some work to do, but can’t wait to take on new projects!
Diane says
SEW ME!
I’d rate myself a 6 or a 7, but being a bit of a perfectionist I’d REALLY want to be a 10 LOL! My current machine is pretty basic so this fancy one would be sure to get my score up …. wouldn’t it?!?
margaret says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a 2. I made a quilt when I was 10. I consider it my crowning achievement, how much more could I possibly accomplish? However, if I won I sewing machine it might mean I will (try to) make shams for the two nekkid pillows on my sofa right now!
Inês Figueiredo says
SEW Me!!!!!!!!!
I’d say I’m a 2, but I have a loving grandma who is a 10!!!! And she would love it…….
Carly says
SEW ME!!! I’d be a 3, but my wonky bag would be a pair of wonky pj pants (probably sewn backwards or something).
MB says
Sew Me! I’d rate myself about a 5. More of a craft sewer than a seamstress.
Tricia says
SEW ME! I haven’t touched a sewing machine since I was 10 or sew, but would love to learn now that I’m 30 & expecting :)
Jen says
Sew me! I am probably a 4. :)
Danielle B. says
Sew me, please! I’m definitely a 1; but I’d like to get better as my grandmother was a 10++ and always wanted me to learn before she passed!
Bunny says
Sew me! I used to make my own clothes when I was a teen but even then my skills were probably only a 4 or 5. But it would be nice to take sewing up again!
Tiffany says
SEW ME!!!
I’d say I’m about a 3. :)
Beth says
SEW ME!
I am probably a negative 2, which is why this would be the awesome compliment to the beginner’s sewing class I just signed up for!
amybeth says
Sew me! Total noob! but dying to learn!
Claire says
SEW ME!…probably a 2. Looking forward to getting some more practice!
Victoria says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 1.5! Recently learned how but haven’t practiced enough!
Carrie says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1…but I so want to learn!
Chelsea F says
SEW ME!
I can sew, I just lack the machine :)
Emily says
SEW ME!
1 but nothing like a sweet machine to inspire improvement!
Loren says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 8 at least.
I made boyfriend and I Batman & Robin costumes for Halloween, and only PARTS of it came out super weird. The rest was totally awesome.
Tara says
SEW ME!
I’m right in the middle. I don’t do a horrible job but it’s not great either. And I mostly sew to fix stuff…
Michelle Dees says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4 on the sewing scale. I can make basics pretty well, but I can’t sew any type of clothing, which makes me totally sad!
Mandi T. says
SEW ME ! Definitely a 2.
Kay says
Sew me, please! Sewing skills: maybe 1. Would love to learn, though.
Kris Smith says
SEW ME! I’m a low as it goes – definitely a 1 or below, but would love to have a good reason to practice and improve!
Katie F says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m about a negative 10! But I just had a baby and would love to be able to DIY some things for her plus I’ve always wanted to learn.
jacqueline says
SEW ME!
My grandma taught me handsewing when I was really young, and I have nice, even stitching, so maybe a 7? I’ve always wanted a good sewing machine, so that I could finally make quilts, rather than just pin them on Pinterest!
Thanks!
Anna Niemeyer says
SEW ME!
I would rate myself as generally competent but not generally experienced, so a 7, I guess? I can do English paper piecing like a fiend, and am pretty great at simple machine sewing, but I am mostly just making things up as I go. I have AMBITIONS when it comes to sewing projects.
I think having a nice machine (as opposed to the jankety one I have been working with) would do wonders for my ability to do complicated projects.
elaine says
sew me! I’m a 10! in more ways than one, lol
