***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…

Katy says
SEW ME! Most likely a 2, only because I had home-ec in high school.
Erin J says
SEW ME!
Probably a 0!
amy good house says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, but long to be a 5?
I made a small pillow in home ec class in 7th grade. It went smoothly… But then I attempted to use my mother’s old sewing machine from the 60s and let’s just say I was so traumatized that 15+ years later I’m just now considering using a sewing machine again? :)
Barb says
SEW ME – I would definitely be in the 1.0 category.
JoAnne says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4 or 5. My machine is on the fritz so a new one would be awesome!
Sarah Mudder says
SEW ME!
I am about a 6 or so. I love sewing but I have a broken machine. This would be great to have!
Robin says
SEW ME!
I think I’m around a 3 or 4. Only because an old roommate walked me through everything and would do the hard parts for me.
Carla says
SEW ME!
Probably a 2. However, I grew up with a mom who was a 8 or 9; all of my child and early teen clothes were handmade, including pajamas and winter coats! One of my favorite memories is the two of us going to the store and picking out fabric and patterns for my school clothes!
Jessica says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills are about a 1. I do small jobs by hand like heming and sewing buttons back on. I would love to learn how to use a machine so I can sew more.
Jennifer I. says
SEW ME!
I’ll give myself a 3 for the lizard pillow I made in high school Home Ec class. I may just have to have my mom ship that to me now that I think about it! I’ve been dying to try my hand at an ottoman slipcover.
Kim says
SEW ME! Probably a 5. My machine is broken so I could really use a new one!
Jill says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a “2” on the sewing scale, with “10” dreams! Love this prize!
Serena says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1.. But I am willing to practice!
Jenny says
SEW ME! My skills are about 0-1 on a scale of 10 so I definitely need this machine to get things going, you know?
Katherine says
SEW ME! I am a 4. I do a mean curtain.
Anna says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe around a 5. I enjoy it but not so sure that I’m really good at it.
Jessica Mills says
SEW ME! Working my way up! Hoping to be a 5 after I take the classes I’m getting as a Christmas present. I need new drapes!!
Amanda says
SEW ME! I’m going to say I’m like Sherry – a 3. If we had a DIY gift exchange it’d be “wonky bags” for all this Christmas (made with love of course).
Olivia says
SEW ME!
I’m probably with Sherry… level three wonky bag. I aspire to be more.
Leah says
SEW ME!
Why? Because its my BIRTHDAY TODAY!! Haha I had to buy a house with a 3rd bedroom for it to be used as my sewing room. I confess, I have 4 machines so far, but always look to have more so I can teach friends the skill of sewing. I would rank my skills around an 8.
Do I get extra bonus points for building a murphy bed into the room so I have extra sewing space along with a guest room? :)
Kate says
“SEW ME!”
I’m maybe a 2, possibly a 3.
Zabeth says
Sew Me! I would rate myself at a 6 if we are talking clothing. I have made lots over the years. But things like slipcovers seem to evade me so like a 2 on those.
Leslie says
SEW ME!
Maybe an adventurous 4+. I tend to bite off more than I can chew, figure it out as I go, and feel pretty proud of the thing (just don’t look at the stitches on the under side – that’s usually a hot mess)
Katie Nelson says
Sew Me!
I think I’m a 5. I’ve made some sweet ninja headbands for my kid’s bday party this summer. it was fun.
Alyanna says
Sew Me!
I am around a 3 like sherry i guess. I can use a sewing machine, but not necessarily in a straight line.
Alex says
SEW ME!
If Sherry is a 3, I am probably a two. My next project is a poof like Clara’s!
Heather Badal says
Sew me!!!
I’d say I’m about a 7.
Katherine R. says
Sew me! I’d love to say I’m one step up from a wonky bag (sorry Sherry) but if I’m honest I’m probably not so let’s got with a 3.
Carol says
SEW ME! I think I could be a 5. Grew up in a sewing family, not as good as my mother but working on it.
sonja says
SEW ME!! Hmmm I might say im a 5. I can sew a bag and have put sleeves in, I didn’t say they matched! Would love this fantastical machine.
Heather H says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 for sure — and usually resort to the good ol’ iron/tape method if hemming. However, I made it my goal to learn before I get married next summer — gotta make those table runners for the wedding!
jung a says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a solid 6.7
I’m an expert at hemming pants (since I’m a towering 5 ft tall), I make baby quilts for all my friends having babies, and I make some of my daughters’ costumes.
Libby says
SEW ME!
I am a 0… :(
Elva says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2. I was just thinking to myself yesterday. I NEED a sewing machine. This would be a totally fabulous christmas present for me. I’m crossing everything that I win.
Hilary says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m around a 5-6. If I see something I can replicate it and I’m a pro at simple curtains. But I’m using a sad hand me down machine; I could really use an upgrade!
Lea Burke says
Sew me! I am a 4 or 5. I can sew but don’t ask me to do collars or sleeves!
Lourdes says
Sew me, please! I think I’m with you at a 1!
erin says
i’d be so excited so gift this to my hubby! he is a 3 and i’m a 1 :)
Terri says
“Sew Me!” I join John as 1.
janetl says
SEW ME! I would say I’m about a 2…I could sew some pretty lines with different colored threads and that’s about it.
Courtney says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1 but aspiring to be at least a 5!
Megan says
SEW ME! I wouldn’t even give myself a 1 but i’m stuck in the middle of trying to make a faux shade like Sherry’s with trim that appears to be too thick for the hem tape and a sewing machine may be my only way out!
Kenan says
SEW ME! I am prob. a 3! But I currently have my mom’s 1960 model and it has exactly 5 stitches! This would be awesome!
jenny h says
Sew me, please! I am definitely mainly teaching myself. So on days the machine I am borrowing works great, I feel like a10, though I am realistically a 1or 2.
Shaz says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a four. I can sew straight lines plus zig zag like there’s no tomorrow. And I am in the market for a new machine as my current one I got for my 21st birthday 21 years ago and I am currently spending more time detangling my bobbin than actual sewing.
Christen says
SEW ME! I’d probably give myself a 2. I’ve done some basic clothes mending, but forget sewing straight lines and the idea of piecing something together from scratch frightens me! Singer is throwing in a sewing tutor too right? :-)
Anita Boeira says
SEW ME! And I think I’m a 5. I have decent skills for basic-intermediate stuff, but I could be better. :)
Maggie says
SEW ME! I’m probably a whopping 4 on that scale…I can sew, but I need some assistance from my amazing grandmother who could make anything with her eyes closed!
Sarah Jessica Farber says
Sew me baby! I’m a 3, unless my tension is acting wonky, and then I’m a negative 3, which involves me throwing a toddler-style fit and rolling around on the floor.
Amber V. says
SEW ME!
Can one be a 0 in this ranking system? That’d be me!
