***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!
Im a zero maybe a -3
Susanna says
SEW ME!
It’s sad because I was probably a 5 or so when I was about 11 or 12. Now I’m much closer to a 1.
kim says
SEW ME!
Jen says
Sew me! I would say I’m maybe a 2 or 3. I can sew a pillow. Anything that can be flipped to hide my sewing = the only thing I can sew. A straight line? Forget about it.
Elaine says
Sew me! I’m probably about a 3.
Lauren W. says
Sew me!!
I’m a 1…is there a .5 option, because that may be a better fit. I literally just learned yesterday how to thread the needle on my hand-me-down sewing machine. There’s no where to go but up!
Megan says
SEW ME!!! I’m about a 4- took home ec and made boxer shorts (and actually wore them! remember when it was in fashion for girls to wear boxers??) but haven’t touched one since. So, okay- maybe a 2.
Kym V says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. Yep, loud and proud 1. I do LOVE iron on hem tape though and figure those skills may transfer to a sewing machine because I have curtains to make people ;-) Oh and pillows…lots of pillows that I’m too cheap to buy.
Kelly says
Sew me! I would say I’m a 6 – I’ve made some halloween costumes and this weekend made stockings – but if you get too close then they are obviously homemade and for sure wonky. I’m getting better though!
Olivia K says
Sew me! I’m probably a two, preparing the machine to sew drives me nuts, my younger sister, however, is dying for a sewing machine, I’d be the coolest.
KC says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1, but I’d love to have this to learn!
Megan says
Sew Me!!!!!
I’m maybe a 5, it really depends how much time I have to dedicate to a project.
Jude says
SEW ME! I rank myself as a high 9 :) In high school I made my own prom dress (and I really loved it!) In home economics class all the other girls would come to me and my BFF, Teresa, for help with sewing! I’ve made tons of my kids costumes, those were always my favorite sewing projects.
Aji says
Sew Me!
I think 4. I can make curtain and pillow covers but I am not sure if I am doing it right way… This machine looks amazing…
Jenny says
SEW ME! I’d give myself an 8. I am great at quilting, not so good at clothing, but I’m learning.
Jessica says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2 but would like to be better.
Maura says
SEW ME!
I’m the worst in the world. Period. But I want to improve.
Melissa says
SEW ME!! I’m a 1. Maybe a 0.
Emma says
Ummm, WOW.
SEW ME! I’m probably in the range of a 3-4. My grandma has taught me a trick or two, and I’ve made a few pieces of clothing and some curtains. Basically, if it involves sewing in a straight line, I have that ish in the bag! I’ve actually been in the market for a new sewing machine…hope I win :)
Audra says
SEW ME!!!!
I’m about a 3-4. I can quilt, sort of, and make pillow cases, fix the occasional torn shirt (boyfriend’s while playing basketball with the guys, not from adoring fans). My current machine was basically “given” to me for $20, but the darn bobbin always gets stuck.
Jessica D. says
SEW ME!
Definitely #1, I can’t even sew on a button.
Laura says
I would say a 7. I can follow a pattern, make up a pattern and I have started doing some quilting under my mother in law’s tutelage. My old singer is about 30 years old and rattles like a jalopy so an upgrade would be awesome!!!!!!
Kate says
SEW ME! I am a zero, but I’d LOVE to learn!
Jenny M says
SEW ME!!!!! I’d say I’m a 2…I made pillows WAAAAAYYYYY back in middle school and I can sew on a button! Mad skills….
Shaina says
SEW ME! I am a beginner but asked for a sewing machine for Christmas so I can get better at my new hobby.
Madeline says
Sew me! Probably 8 – went to the state fair back during my 4-H days.
Tara says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 3 or 4. I just joined the quilting group at my church and I’m starting to absorb some sewing knowledge (and a little church gossip). Currently using a borrowed machine from the 19070’s. Still works great but would love one of my very own! Great giveaway!
Jill says
SEW ME!!
I’d consider myself a 5 or 6. I can sew fairly well – but nothing to write home about!
tab K says
SEW ME
I used to see a lot in high school making myself clothes. I see bags and pillows a lot now.
Avery says
Sew Me!
Confession – my wife got a sewing machine for christmas last year and I used it to make a couple backpacks (I do ultra-light mountaineering) so I’d probably rate myself at a 6 or 7 by now.
I was going to just have my comment sit in anonymity and let you think Avery was a girl, but I figured I’d ‘fess up for John’s sake.
Kelly says
SEW ME (please!)… oh man, I’m about a 5 on the scale but I do everything by hand because I don’t have machine. That being said, I’m pretty good w/a needle! This Singer looks awesome.
Jessica Hicks says
Sew me!!!
Definitely a 0… Never sewed a thing but would Love to learn!
Joy says
SEW ME!
1 on hand sewing and 0 on the sewing machine.
One of my goals in life however is to learn how to use the sewing machine to make my own curtains. :)
Beth Lewis says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m a 4. I like to sew straight lines, curtains and pillows and stuff, but definitely not clothes.
jenny says
sew me! i’m maybe a 5-6….i sometimes have bad days where impatience gets the best of me and nothing goes right, but i’ve also made a quilt and some other non-beginner projects with success…..and always looking to improve :)
Kara says
SEW ME!
Evonne says
SEW ME!
I can tackle those sneaky holes in pockets with needle and tread but my sewing machine skills are a definite 1… would love to get some practice!
Sarah says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m about a 3… I can make simple, simple, SIMPLE things, but am too intimidated to try anything hard… yet!
GingerMae says
SEW ME! I am great at reattaching buttons.
Shawna says
“SEW ME”. Even though in my mind I am a ten and have an invite to fashion week, sadly I must admit I am a 3, on a good day.
Laurie says
John, sewing machines are just another power tool. You should get in there and give it a go!
Stefanie says
SEW ME!
I started learning to sew from my grandma last year, and I think I can now call me a 3. But still have no own sewing machine :/
Krystal Pound says
SEW ME! I’m probably a step above Sherry, at a 4, because I don’t cuss and or fuss whenever I’m near my sewing machine, but I could make a pretty wonky bag.
Jenn says
Sew Me! I am around a 4; I can hold my own but prefer straight lines and easy patterns!
Chelsea says
SEW ME!
I’m a 0.0 ha ha – But I really do want to learn/teach myself.
Amy says
Sew me!
I can sew buttons and hem pants.
Jacqueline R says
SEW ME….I’d put myself somewhere around a 6 or 7. I am mostly self-taught, so I would call myself an expert. However, I have had lots of practice over the years and have tackled some bigger projects.
Sonya says
Sew Me!
I’m the wife of the guy who makes backpacks…and it’s true, he’s probably a 6 or a 7 while I’m closer to a 4 or a 5…
Raazia says
Sew me.
I’m definitely between 3-4.
Alise says
SEW ME! I think I can sew a straight line… but I haven’t touched a sewing machine in about 10 years so all bets are off! :-)
