***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…

reina says
SEW ME!!!! Oh my goooooodness I would love a Singer machine. I’d probably rank around a 6. I can sew straight lines and sometimes curvy lines if they’re going to be hidden!
Hannah says
SEW ME!!
Definitely a 3. Wonky bags are my jam!
Meg Brown says
Sew Me! Definitely a 1, but willing to learn lots!
Michelle @ AM Dolce Vita says
SEW ME! I am one of those that only know how to sew a straight line, and I blame my old and cheap sewing machine for not giving me a neat line. So I’d say I am probably a 1. Thanks for such a fantastic giveaway!
Jannell says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 3. I’ve completed several projects, but all of them have a slightly askew quality.
Brad says
SEW ME!
I’d rate myself about a 3. I can follow a pattern and even have a pretty good idea how most things are put together, but a lot of the complexity on when to use what stitch, how to appropriately size and shape a garment to the person I’m putting it on – all those remain undeveloped skills of mine. My late ’80s Singer has been holding up great, but something like this could be really handy =)
Meredith T says
SEW ME!
I would probably be categorized as a 2-3 (2.5?).
I took Home Economics in middle school and we had to sew stuff, and I did alright, but I wouldn’t take on any projects that required more than a straight line.
amanda says
SEW ME!
I’m fairly confident, but it’s all survival sewing. I can barely read a pattern but that doesn’t mean I won’t try!
Susie says
Sew Me! If there was a ranking below 1 that would be me. I would love to learn how to sew though just so I could learn how to make pillows!!
Genny says
SEW Me!!
probably a 7…I’ve been sewing since I was 11 or 12 and even sewed my own wedding dress, though there were a few tears and yells of frustration.
Kelly says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a solid 7. I could be better, but I’ve made some stuff that even impressed myself… especially since I just started sewing after I got my own ‘Oh Brother’ last Christmas!
MC says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 4 – I’m still at my 7th grade home ec class level – pillowcases and curtains. Anymore more advanced looks wonky but can be disguised with the right kind of thread!
Erin says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely am a 1 but I have a family full of 10s! Maybe I can spend some time with my grandmother to bump me up a few levels. Win-Win!
sara says
SEW ME!
If I had this I would be a 10!(for now, I am a 3ish)
Chelsea says
SEW ME!!!
I am definitely like a 4 as far as skills go! I can sew pillows and fix up clothing but I can definitely not sew some fancy drapery or an ornate piece of clothing!! If I get this machine that could change things! :D
Kellie says
SEW ME!
I am not even close to being on the 1 to 10 scale! :(
Abby says
SEW ME! I’m a 5, I love to sew but this machine would help me get better!
Karen says
Sew Me! I was a 7-8 in the past; have made all types of clothing and slipcovers, curtains, pillows, etc. But I have not sewn in years. Would love to get started again.
Rachel says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m probably a 2… with needle and thread. With a machine? More like -10? I have been wanting to learn for a while now! I “learned” about 15 years ago in a HomeEc class… Needless to say, all that’s gone now.. :)
Tara Campbell says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 1 or a 2. I would love this so I can get all crafty wi my two boys :)
Powerpuff says
Sew me!
I’d say 0/1. I recently sewed blackout fabric onto a premade curtain and it turned out ok, but the process could have been better.
Marsha Kern says
Sew me! I took home ec in both jr. high and high school (am I dating myself or what!) but now I sweat just sewing on a button so I would love to improve my skills!
Michelle says
SEW ME! Hmmm, maybe a 3. I probably was a 6 back when I was in high school home ec, but that was… a long time ago. I have long forgotten everything I learned about sewing.
Julie says
Sew me
I am the worst sewer ever!
Jenny says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1. But I have ALWAYS wanted to learn!
Ofelia, México City says
Sew me! I rate number 3 because I sewed all kind of stuff. Recently a white quilt, before that: pants, shirts, skirts, curtains… and some crafts too. I would like to try one sewing machine like that.
Susie says
Sew me! I’m about a 3 as well. I’ve made a few purses and some banners.
emma says
SEW ME!! I’m about a 3, I took a class last fall to buff up my middle school home ec skills to take on some home projects. But I still haven’t bit the bullet and bought a machine yet!
Julie D. says
SEW ME!
Without a doubt I am a zero, but I’d love to change that!
caseyj610 says
SEW ME!
I’m about at a 3 also…aka wonky bag-land. I had delisions of grandeur (haha) when I was pregnant last year of sewing up tons of adorable baby things. So far all I’ve mustered is blankets, bibs, binky clips. I’d LOVE more practice, but with a 7 month old I’m not sure when I’ll find the time. Probaby when she’s 30. :)
Susan says
SEW ME! Defintely would be a 0-1. I took Home EC in school but my teacher cried (I kid not) over a hem I did. I think I was scarred for life. I still want to do this and would love to be good at it.
Roselyn says
SEW ME!!
I’m around a 4, I’d say. I can fix a hem or a hole in my husband’s shirts but I’m no seamstess.
Keilan says
Sew Me! As for my sewing skills, I would say I am probably around a 5. I can work my way through flat things no problem, it might not be perfect, but it gets the job done. I have a sewing machine from the 70’s (why yes, it is yellow with orange flowers, thank you for having a retro flashin) sew this would be a fantabulous upgrade!
Cisco says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, but my girlfriend would love this as a christmas present!
Libby says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2… I made a small quilt once but my mom helped me. Been sewing by hand ever since… Time for an upgrade! :)
Laurel G says
SEW ME! In my head I’m an 8! In reality & judging by the amount of cussing that accompanies my sewing expeditions I’m really closer to a 3. But I try!!
Whitney says
This sewing machine is “SEW ME.” I currently have a sewing machine but it just doesn’t seem to be able to keep up with the amount of sewing I like to do.
Brandi G says
SEW ME!! I’m at a 0 or a 1 for sure but have been considering purchasing a machine to teach myself and my daughter.
Cheryl says
SEW ME!
I would say I am about a 2, I made my daughter dress one time, but she was not impressed…. I would love to be able to practice more!
Nell says
SEW ME! I’m not expert but would love to try.
Tiffany says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 2 now, I took a few lessons as a kid, but am only now realizing how much I enjoy sewing!
sarah says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3, but with this machine maybe I could make it to 7?!
Jenna says
Sew me!
I am a solid 1. If that. A sewing machine would be a perfect way to solve that problem.
Annelies says
SEW ME !
I’m a one, or actually I don’t know, but I would love to find out and hope to get to a 10! Yeej international giveaways :-)
Deborah says
SEW ME!
I would say that I am a -3. I think I can manage to sew on a button but that’s about it.
Bridget says
SEW ME!
The only sewing I can do is hand stitching, like a button or hole, but I would love to learn to use a sewing machine!
Tiffany says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3ish. I can sew on a button, do a hem, and fix the dog’s bed when she chews it up. You know, the important stuff.
Meagan says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a three – mastered straight line sewing and threading my ancient machine – but patterns and different types of stitches scare me!
Janice Maspn says
Sew me! I am a 3 but my grandmother (whom I would gift this to) is a 12, even though at 77 her eyes are bad and her arthritis makes it hard (this singer sounds amazing!).
Jeana Marshall says
SEW ME!!!
I would say I am 1!
