***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…

Catherine says
Sew me! I’m a 1. I’d love to improve, though!
Danielle says
SEW ME ! :)
I am definitely a 5-7 : I can sew basics and follow patterns.. I can even make some patterns myself… And all this on my oldie-but-goodie current sewing machine. I am hoping will become like a 12 if I had an awesome SingerOne !
Kayakgirl73 says
SEW ME!! I’d love to learn to sew better and wish I had a new machine. i’d like to learn home dec sewing. I’ve taken two beginners quilting classes and have made three quilts and I’m working on my 4th one.
Beverly says
SEW ME! I am a “1” that would love a sewing machine “sew” my daughter and I can learn to sew together!
Anneliese says
SEW ME! I’m a one but enthusiastic about moving up the food chain.
Jenny says
Sew me! I’m probably a 5, I can successfully make pillows that dont lose their fluff, and have made some cool halloween costumes for me, my husband, and our pug, gizmo :)
Vania says
SEW ME!
I can’t wait to learn how to sew.My skills are definitely 1 :-)
meghan says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2. My aunt helped me sew a few things when I was younger. But that was a loooong time ago, and I only did simple things like pillows.
Jessica@HomewithBaxter says
SEW ME. Definitely a 1…..But I want to learn!!
Jess says
Sew me!
I’m definitely a 1, but I’d love to have a machine that would help take me to a 10 (or as close as I can get)!:-)
Joelle says
SEW ME!
I used to be about a 5 or 6, but it’s been quite awhile, so I’m probably down to a 2 or 3. I need to get back into it, and had planned to once the holidays were over and we enter the darkness of winter.
Jen B says
SEW ME!!! I am a 2, I would love to learn to sew everything and anything!
Emily R. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2-3. I’ve seen enough patterns on Pinterest now that I can visualize what I want to make – the question is whether I could actually do it well or not. Would at least be fun to try!
Renske says
SEW ME!
I think I’m around a 5, trying to make my own clothes and cushions and everything, but too stubborn and lazy to use patterns and not very good at measuring.. I was however really good at making Barbie dresses, just sewing tubes from the shiniest elastic fabric and turning them inside out, ready!
Anne-Mason Anthony says
SEW ME!! I could probably sew my way out of a bag but would end up sewing my self in! LOove our blog and love doing projects around the house! oh and i would rank myself a 4!
pick me!!
Meg F. says
Oh easy. That’s a solid 2. But I want to get better!
Susie says
SEW ME! I would say I’m around a 5, can sew a straight line but can’t sew a zipper, button hole or read a pattern!
dorisd says
Sew Me!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I am definitely around a 1 – I probably couldn’t sew a straight line if I tried! But I would love to learn.
Asna S says
Sew Me!!!!
Probably about a 2! Although I did sew an apron back in grade 7 home ec!
Jessica says
SEW ME!
I am around a 3. I want to get better.. I even bought a sewing machine at a thrift store, but it hates me and keeps breaking.
tracy says
SEW ME!
I am most certainly a zero. Or if using iron-on adhesive counts, I could be a 1. I have no sewing skills but plan on making tons of pillows and hemming all of our curtains sometime in the near future!
Linda J Burton says
SEW ME! I would be a 4.
Laura says
“SEW ME!”
I’m probably a 2. I understand how patterns and such work, but there’s no actual skill level here, having never actually sewn anything.
Kristin says
SEW ME!
About a 4…
Kristi says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1….or probably a zero. My husband does the button replacement sewing around here! :)
Emily says
SEW ME!
I’d say, 4 based on my previous extensive sewing classes from the age of 7-12…been a few years tho…but I really feel I would up it to a 5-7 if I had a sewing machine!
Erin says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2 or 3, but I’d love to have this around to do some great DIY garlands and table runners for my wedding in May.
Heather says
SEW ME!
Newbie here :)
Nicole Bourne says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4 or a 5… I can sew pretty basic things, and generally I’d be happy enough with the quality to gift them to someone else when I was done – but I’m by no means a pro. My grandmother taught me how to sew, and I’m still using her machine. :)
Elsa says
SEW ME! I have only sewn a handful of times in my life so I would say a 1. I would love to learn though.
Jenni says
SEW ME! I’m a 2-3 for sure. I took some classes in Junior High, and a few years ago I managed to sew up some bean bags for our game that had come apart (luckily the bags and thread were black :) I do want to learn!
Beryl says
SEW ME!
Hmmm maybe 0.5 level? I bought a lot of fabrics to make curtains and pillow covers, but I don’t have a sewing machine (yet) and I still need tons of practice.
Maelena says
SEW ME! I cannot sew. At all. Maybe this will help me learn :)
Ana says
SEW ME!!
I am a zero…on a good day. And if this Singer sewing machine can’t help me than nothing will.
Colleen says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 for sure but I think I can get better!
Shannon S says
SEW ME. . . . I’m probably about a 5 or 6, and I could REALLY use this machine. . . NOW. Mine just bit the dust for good–right in the middle of my trying to alter my son’s basketball uniform!
Lisa G says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1. Never used a machine, and the only hand-sewing I’ve done was putting a button back on a shirt…which promptly fell back off :(
Sarah says
SEW ME! I’m pretty savvy, I’d give myself an 8. I love to sew, but I don’t use patters… I pretty much just like to think about it and do it! I’d love that Singer!!!
Marlena says
SEW ME! I can fix a ripped seam with a needle and thread, but sewing with an actual machine? I’m a negative 1.
jana says
SEW ME! I’m probably a solid 2-2.5 tops.
RBC says
SEW ME!
I am maybe a 4 or 5, but I don’t have a machine right now, so here’s hoping I get the opportunity to improve ;)
Amy says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 7, although I don’t have as much time to sew as I’d like! I would love to upgrade my machine from the 70s era one that belonged to my granny.
Julia says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 1.5? I knew how to sew when I was younger, but am now pretty sure I would be sitting at the table blankly (how do you turn it on again???)
Danielle C. says
“SEW ME!”
I am a solid 2 :)
Megan says
SEW ME!! I am about a 7, but maybe I could be an 8 with this brand new machine!
Sarah R says
SEW ME! I’m going to give myself a 6, but that may be optimistic.
Sarah says
SEW ME! I am going to call myself a 3.5 – I can sew simply skirts/bags and even put in zippers, but I will not claim any amount of precision : )
Ann says
Sew me! My first job out of college was for an extremely talented woman who made custom drapery, bedding, slipcovers. She tried to teach me (bless her heart) and I can do drapes, pillows, bed skirts….but clothing or slipcovers? I. Am. Useless.
Becky says
SEW ME!
I may be a 4 on the scale – I can sew a straight line to make anything that resembles a square like curtains, but not much more. I’m still on a starter $30 machine I’ve had for about 8 years, so this would be an awesome upgrade that (here’s hoping!) just might get me to the next level!
