***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).

Lauren says
SEW ME: I have been dying to take on more craft projects and get more comfortable with the sewing machine. Right now I would rank myself at a 2 or 3. Can make a basic envelope bag, but hoping to get better. Maybe one day curtains!
christy says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m 5 or so. I can follow an easy pattern, but can’t make something without one.
Brianna says
Sew me! I haven’t sewn much in years, but I’d like to get back to it.
Austin says
I’m a 1, but I’d love to give this to my wife!
kerri says
SEW ME!!! Please! I’d say I’m probably a 4 with a sewing machine. I do mostly hand sewing (baby quilts) and I haven’t had a machine in years, but I’d love to work with one again, and I’m overseas!
Corinne says
SEW ME!
When it comes to sewing, I approach any project like I am a 10, but in reality I’m probably more like a 3. Regardless of the quality of the end result, there’s something always so satisfying about having accomplished any sewing project – be it mending a hole in the armpit of a t-shirt no one will ever notice (or care about besides me) or creating a baby blanket for a friend’s newest addition!
Amy says
SEW ME!
Courtney says
SEW ME….I am about a 2.5 or a 3. I can sew a mean napkin!
Jeri says
SEW ME!! I’m definitely a solid 4.5.
Cara W says
SEW ME!
I would rank myself as a 1 on the sewing continuum. I don’t own a machine but I imagine if I did (crosses fingers), I’d be a 5. Wishing on my lucky stars to be a winner!
Dee says
SEW ME! I haven’t sewn much since taking lessons in 3rd grade, but I’d love to do more for our new condo — pillows, curtains, you name it.
Alison says
SEW ME! I would consider myself an average sewer, say 4.5?
Jennifer says
SEW ME …. I would say I’m a zero because I’ve never touched a machine out of pure intimidation. But according to this scale I would say I’m a 1. I SO want to sew. This machine looks so up my alley!
Lindsey says
Sew me! I would rate myself a 5, though I haven’t gotten my machine out in a year, so that might have changed!
meghan marks says
SEW ME! My mother taught me to sew and we love being able to pick fabrics and make something customized out of them!
Teresa says
SEW ME!! some pillows covers. I haven’t done sewing since home ec classes in high school and would love the challenge :)
Sara H. says
SEW ME! I’d probably be at a 2. Although I haven’t tried sewing in years, so for all I know it could be a 0!
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5, I try, I can certainly sew a bag. I have a bunch of sewing projects waiting in the wings, a new machine would probably kick those in the butt!
Kate says
I would say i am a 1. My grandmothere is an excellent sewer, and i would love to be one, too. i have even looked into lessons at Jo ann fabrics….i would by happy to be able to sew a straigh line, maybe fancy it up and make a simple curtain…instead of relying on hem tape…:)
Jo @ Let's Face te Music says
SEW ME! I’m a good sewer (I can make slip covers from scratch)and I used to sew a lot. I worked in a costume shop in college and learned to make patterns which really upped my game. My sister, hoever, was always a better sewer than I. Our grandmother was the queen of all things sewing. She worked in a tailor shop that made tailored suits, etc. I’d love a new sewing machine so I could finish a project that I’ve left unfinished for 5+ years.Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
Danielle Williams says
SEW ME! I can fix a button or a ripped seam, but that’s about it…so I’d probably give myself a 2?
Barbara L says
Sew me!!!
I’m a beginner, definitely a 2, because in home ec in the early 80s (9th grade?) they not only made us sew a velour jumpsuit…THEY MADE US WEAR IT TO SCHOOL.
I haven’t sewed since. But I WANT to.
I’d like to make my own bags and make halloween costumes for my dog. Yes, crazy dog lady. If I got good at it I’d make things for myself, but my dog is the guinea pig, so to speak. Thanks!
Scott says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills rank at a 1 (if 0 is not part of the ranking scale). Duct tape is my thread of choice.
Sara T says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1… But want to learn.
Tessa says
SEW ME! If Sherry’s a 3, than I’m a 2. Pretty much the only time I sew is Halloween costumes, and maybe one home decor project/year — and then I have to borrow mom’s machine! Would <3 a SINGER one of my own to practice & experiment with.
Zee says
SEW ME! I would say I am a 5 out of 10 on the sewing scale. I find I ususally start off really well, get restless because it is taking too long, and then start to take shortcuts. I guess I like instant gratification.
Kim says
SEW ME… I’m about a 4.7. I am a self proclaimed expert at napkin making. However, any large projects I get tired of and just iron it.
Heather says
SEW ME! I have to agree with Sherry…I’m about a 2 or 3.
Randa says
SEW ME!
I was once a 5 or 6… during middle school home economics and sewing classes. Yes, I took both classes, I liked it that much. But that was a loooooong time ago! I don’t even remember how to thread the machine anymore.
Kimb says
“SEW ME!”
I’m probably an 8 I make a lot of Halloween costumes, some curtains, cushions, and slip covers for furniture. I don’t make much clothing but I have done it. I just broke my sewing machine and was looking to get one for Christmas, so if I win that mean my husband will just have to go buy a diamond ring instead. LOL
Emily says
Sew me! I’m a 1- but definitely try to become a solid 3 if I win this:)
Autumn says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, but I’d like to move up from ironing my curtains to real sewed ones, or maybe even a pillow cover!
Tammy says
Sew Me! 6 or 7 out of 10. I have made a lot of projects for my family and friends, but don’t see myself tackling a wedding dress any time soon!
Aimee says
SEW ME! I would say I’m about a 5 or 6. I have some moderate sewing skills but I wouldn’t try selling the things I’ve made or anything.
Lisa says
SEW ME!!!!
I would rate myself about a3ish. The machine I’ve been using is a beast and makes me become a beast as I try to sew :) A new machine would be wonderful!!!!!
Meghan says
SEW ME…I once made a pillow in 7th grade but I have been dying to get a machine that’s all my own.
Katie says
SEW ME! I can not sew for the life of me, but i want to learn! I am definately a 1!
Kim Higginbotham says
SEW ME!!!! I’d say I’m about a 4.5 on sewing skills. I can sew mean pillow case and pretty much anything with straight edges and 90 degree corners. :)
Jess says
SEW ME!
I’m a sewing newb so I’d rank myself a 1.
I need to learn!
Amanda says
SEW ME! I would rank myself at a 5 – I can stitch a hem, but it might not be straight!
Sarah O says
SEW ME!
I’m around a five… can follow a pattern, but nothing too fancy!
Melanie says
SEW ME! I started taking sewing lessons and have made a pillow, so I’d say I am a 3.
Linda says
SEW ME! 2 years ago, I would have been a 2, but lo and behold, I sew clothes for my daughters and me now! A 7 probably?
Abby Jensen says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5, I made a quilt once, for a doll bed, when I was 15, but I had my moms’s friend holding my hand the whole way. I would love to have a machine to sew, because my sewing projects on Pinterest is long! :)
Schyler says
SEW ME!
I would have to give myself a solid 7 in the sewing department. My portfolio include sewing 100 balloons to a track suit to make a grape costume and turning 6 yards of furry material into a full-body “Munster (cheese)” costume, in addition to things like curtains… Actually, maybe I’m more of a 3 purely based on the absurdity and lack of professionalism in my projects.
Katie says
Sew me! I’m a solid 2.5! Straight lines are my best friend!
Kara Joy says
SEW ME!
I am a 1. I have used my mom’s sewing machine a few times, may have earned a badge at age 8, but have not touched a sewing machine since. This does not, however, mean I’m uninterested!!!
Eleanor@SavingOurWay says
SEW ME!
I think i’m a 3-4. I learned some by watching my mom when I was younger. Didn’t touch a sewing machine for easily 15 years. Then once I had our first 4 years ago – I wanted to try to make a few things for her (a pillowcase dress, a few receiving blankets & some curtains). I did ok. I felt self-taught, so in that manner I was proud of myself. The items I made are decent & have held up but certainly aren’t store quality! lol!
Allison says
SEW ME! I’m a beginner–maybe a 0.5? I’ve tried using my mom’s sewing machine, but need a lot of practice before I could move up the continuum.
Hillary says
SEW ME!
I’m probably more like a 0, never touching a machine before but I’ve been itching to learn lately!
