***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…

Erin says
Sew Me! I am definitely a 1 but I really want to learn!
Sara Myers says
SEW ME! I only hand sew because I’m afraid of sewing machines.. read that.. can’t work them! :) Thanks!
T_Bun says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 2.
Kathryn says
SEW ME!!! I would say I’m about a 5 on the sewing scale. I can do it and make mostly straight seams, but it’s not my favorite thing to do. I infinitely prefer knitting :)
Sarah says
Sew Meeee!!
I am a 1 but with the help of winning this, I could jump up to a 10! Man! That would be exciting!
Adri says
SEW ME!
I think I would rank as a 5 or so. I grew up with a mom who sewed a LOT – quilts, dresses, etc. and I learned a lot from her. I trust myself to attempt basic clothing and quilting patterns, but that’s about it.
Anna says
SEW ME!!!!!!!
I am definitely a 1. Learning to use a sewing machine is on my list of to-do’s during my graduate school winter break! As a full-time nurse, and a part-time grad student I’m hoping to prove to my very patient husband that I can do something domestic!
Katie says
Sew me! I would say that I am a three but working on being better. A new machine would help me since everytime I sew it smells like my old machine is burning. Scary!
Christine says
SEW ME! I would rank myself a 3. I can do simple things. Just made my baby a baby blanket for when he is born!
Annie says
SEW ME!
I’m a wonky 3 too, but I’d sew endless wonky stuff if I had a machine!
Kara says
SEW ME!! I’m maybe a 1.5 or 2. I can handle the basics, but anything more complicated requires a harried phone call to my mother.
Michelle says
SEW ME! I can sew a button.
Renee says
SEW ME: I’m a 1 or 2 tops, however I’m doing the same weekly picture project you guys did with Clara with my little girl, and NEED to learn to sew before her 1st birthday. I also need a sewing machine to help me with this venture in life.
Megan says
Sew me! I’m mid-range, probably around a 6. My grandmother taught me how to sew and alter clothing patterns when I was in college. Even though I’m really slow, thanks to her I know how to do it right. My antique Singer is still going strong, but something that buttonholes and zigzags would be wonderful!
Julia says
SEW ME!
A 1 — but if I had a fab machine I’m sure I could be a 10!
Erin Woods says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3. I can sew straight things like block quilts, but need my own sewing machine to try new projects!!
Krystal says
Sew me! I am maybe a 3. I think I could sew a bag, if I had to, maybe.
Ashley says
Sew Me! I’m probably a 2. I really want to learn so that I can continue my mom’s tradition of making Christmas dresses for my sisters and I and make them for my daughter!
Kristin says
Sew Me!!
Oh gosh I’m probably a 1 lol but I would love to learn!
Tiffany says
Sew me! I’m about a level 3, but would love to get better!
Jen says
SEW ME! I’d say a 2 or 3 since I haven’t sewed anything since my 4-H days (20 yrs ago). Maybe with a new machine I’d be a surprising 6 or 7? :)
Kristen says
Sew Me!! I am in the sewing hurt locker as we say in the military, I’m terrible. Although I did manage to finish a Very Hungry Catepillar for Halloween but quit on the xmas napkins
Christy says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a rusty 3. Did take Home Ec in Middle School and made a watermelon shaped pillow and some wonky-crotched pajama pants.
Lisa Di Pinto says
Sew Me!
I would rank myself at about a 5. I took a sewing class when I was 11 and that helped a bit, but I still need some work lol ;)
Katy says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3-4. I can usually find a way to sew what I have in mind, but the lines are NO where near straight! I don’t think I’d ever try sewing clothing, but curtains, pillows, and baby blankets are fair game.
Robin says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably a 5. I can sew a bag that’s only a little wonky, whip up some curtains, applique and other pretty basic stuff, but if you want it to look store bought-go somewhere else. :)
Megan says
“SEW ME!”
Pillows…that’s it.
CJ says
SEW ME! And I’d say I’m a 9 on your sewing skills continuum. I can sew a bag from scratch, but not blindfolded!
Julie says
SEW ME!!! I’d have to say I’m about a 4. Well, I used to be! I haven’t used a sewing machine in more years than I like to count. But I used to help my mom make our summer clothes as a kid, made a small quilt for my favorite doll, and I do have the ability to sew a patch on my kids clothes.
My projects tend to lean lately towards those that require more glue and forethought, or laziness and scissors! I’d love to be able to sew again!
Ally says
SEW ME!!
I would also say I’m a three, but I’m a very enthusiastic 3! I would also love to replace the hand-me-down sewing machine that is older than I am! Great giveaway!!
Kim says
SEW ME!
I’m going to say that I’m a 3. I tried sewing a stuffed dog for my daughter, but the legs weren’t the same size and it ended up looking more like a transgenic mouse.
Corien says
Sew me! I learned sewing on my greatgrandmothers Singer…
Cari says
SEW ME!
I’m at a 2, I suppose. I just relearned how to thread a machine and I’m going to be hemming four curtains this week, so I suppose that number could be more like a 1 or 3 by Friday!
Becky says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m about a 5/6 on the sewing ranking, but may be selling myself short. Every Christmas I bust it out and make hand made gifts for everyone in the family from infinity scarves, purses, baby blankets, to starwars fingerpuppets. I’d love a machine that didn’t cause me to curse so much infront of my 2 year old. ;)
Torri says
Sew Me!
Im about a 4! Continually learning though!
Christine says
SEW ME!
I think I am about a 3 or 4… My grandma tried teaching me to sew when I was 11, and when she passed on later that year, I inherited her sewing machine. Over the years I’ve made curtains, dog scarves, and pillow covers. I recently started teaching my 11 year old son some of the sewing basics. It would be sew cool to upgrade my 20+ year old sewing machine! :D
Hilary Smith says
SEW ME!
I’m a zero on the sewing scale, but I’d like to learn! Looks like this would be an awesome machine to do that!
amy marie says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 4, I’ve done quilts but before you are too impressed they are typically fairly simple straightforward patterns. =)
Jamie says
Sew me! My skills are nonexistent. Let’s fix that.
Toni says
SEW ME please!
Ruth says
Sew me! I’m probably a 4.5 or 5. I can do the basics decently, but I’m not amazing. Working on some Christmas presents right now.
Kelly says
SEW ME! I am one or two.
Melissa Schartz says
Sew me! It’s on my bucket list to learn how to sew!
Claire says
SEW ME!!!
I think maybe a 5? I grew up with a mom who sewed EVERYTHING so I should be far more proficient than I am. But I can at least follow a pattern and figure out the basics. But having the right machine for the job makes a HUGE difference. This would be awesome!
Stephanie says
Sew me!!!
I’m a 2 or a 3. I like to try things, and it comes together eventually, but there is a lot of trial and error going on.
Mackenzie says
SEW ME!!! I would say I am 4. Not terrible, but can whip up something if I have a pattern. Always plenty of room for growth and learning…this would be an awesome prize to win!
Kristin P. says
Sew me!
About a 4. I can do it, but I sure don’t want to do it alone!
Kelly says
SEW ME!
I am around a 3 or so–I can put something together, but it definitely be funky-looking. I get a lot of use out of my seam ripper.
Katie says
SEW ME!
I am a 2. I keep bugging my mother to teach me, but she can’t part with her sewing machine long enough for me to practice at my house.
Meredith says
SEW ME!
I’ve never used a sewing machine but think it would be a great 2013 resolution!
