***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…

I would probably be a 3. Use to be okay in Home Ec in high school and recently I helped my mother-in-law make a dress for me and would love to learn how to do it for myself!

Susan Hoyt says
SEW ME!!!
I’m used to be about a 5 but haven’t had a working sewing machine in about 15 years so who knows where I am now??? If I win this machine, I’ll let you know! :-D

SEW ME!
I’m a 3-4. I got the basics down and I’m ready to expand!

See me! I’m around a two. I have to look up how to thread the machine each time. But I’ve been thinking about taking a class…
Amanda says
SEW ME!! I’d say I am probably a 1 have sewed just a little bit! Have been dying to learn how to do more!
Jenny says
SEW ME! I am probably around a 1.5 in that I can hand stitch things like seams that need repair and loose buttons. I’ve never learned how to use a sewing machine though, and would love to make some curtains for my new condo! Yahoo for first-time home ownership!
Kate says
SEW ME! I’m a 0 for sure. I’m going to need some simple, pictographical instructions!
Megan says
SEW ME! I have yet to learn how to sew, but my mom is fantastic and I need this so she can teach me!
Allison says
SEW ME! I’m for sure a 1. Can barely sew a button.
Shelby says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a -2
Marie-Josee says
SEW ME!
I’d say on a good day, I’m maybe a 5 … but usually more of a 3. Kind of hard to live up to, my Mom’s a definite 10 :)
Monique says
Sew me!
I’m a 2 maybe. I have a sewing machine that’s about 40 years old. It works but I do a lot of swearing and sewing at the same time!
Suzi H says
SEW ME!
I think I’m around a 6. I can follow a pattern to make a dress, but my thread definitely still gets all jammed up on occasion… you win some you lose some.
Jenn M says
SEW ME!
I just finished a pair of drapes the other day, but with a new machine I’m sure it would have been a heck of a lot easier!
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m a smokin’ hot 2.5 all the way. I can do the basics, pillows, curtains, but have never tried anything with a pattern…or patawan as my daughter pronounces it. :)
Heidi says
Sew me! I’m a total 1, who has always dreamed of being a 10!
Claire says
SEW ME!
I’m at about a 3, but with a 3 month old and some awesome new stay-at-home time, I would love to be at a 10! There are so many great projects that we could do if I was better at sewing!
Cat says
SEW ME! I’ve been practicing a lot lately, but I still end up having to rip out a seam and redo it every time a sew ;)
Susan Kelley says
Sew me! About a 5, but could be at least an 8 with the right machine (yes, this one!).
Sandra Holt says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 7. I used to sew my own clothes in high school.
Kristen says
SEW ME!!!!
I would say a 2, if we are just talking about the actual sewing part. A -349 if we are including threading the needle and all the technical aspects. I sew want to be like my aunt…she’s got this whole sewing thing DOWN. :)
Veronica says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 2.I can make a bag alright, but not with too straight stitches;)
Tara says
SEW ME! I’d rate myself at about a 0. The only thing I can do is use Stitch Witchery!
Melissa says
SEW ME! I’m a 1.5 – i can sew a button and a simple hem, that’s about it :)
Melissa Baltz says
SEW ME!
I would say that I am a 3. Strangly enough, I was probably about 5 in my early teens (home economics classes helped). I assume that I have forgotton nearly all of it by now though.
Courtney says
SEW ME!!!!
Lucia says
SEW ME!! Id’ say I’m a 3, but would love to learn!
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
I would be a 1 or a 0. I have never sewed anything in my life but would love to learn!
Heidi says
SEW ME! I’m a 8 or 9 whenever I do find some time and energy to sew. Oddly enough, I’ve often wondered if I would still be able to sew if I was blind. There was a lady in my hometown who was blind and still sewed. What an inspiration, even though I still can’t imagine how she did that!
Ellen says
SEW ME! I am probably a 5-ish. I have made quilts and dresses, but I definitely could learn more!
Jaurie says
Sew me!
I’m a 5 on a good day
Crystal says
SEW ME!
I’d say a confident 3. I’m good with buttons and can do a basic stitch on hems, but that’s about it.
Abigail says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 but I believe I could be a… 4 or even maybe a 5. Would love to try.
Marie says
sew me!
I used to be higher (with my mom sitting beside me, that is!), but now, I’m probably a 3-4. But, if I had my own machine, I might be able to improve my skills!
Amanda says
SEW ME!! I think I’m probably a 4. I haven’t had much experience since 7th grade home economics, but my math skills are pretty good so I think I could figure it out. A pillow case for sure!
Nicolle from Thriving Wives says
SEW ME!
I’d say a solid 2, maybe a 3. I keep wanting to take sewing classes with my blog partner but she is too busy! A new machine might give us some more motivation though…. :)
Mary Jo Meilstrup says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, but I’d love to learn!
rebecca says
Sew me! I’m a total 0 when it comes to sewing -but there is so much I eant to make!
Beth says
I’m probably a 9. I have forty years of experience!
Melanie says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a middle of the road sewer. I prefer my embroidery machine because it basically does all the work for me!
Leslie Ross says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 6 or 7 – my grandmother taught me to sew when I was younger, and my cousin and I would spend a week every summer sewing with her. However, I haven’t used those skills for probably a good 15 years or so, aside from some basic alterations. I’m sure they’d come back if I just sat down to do it though!
Ruth says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 for sure.
Kristen says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4 or 5 assuming the machine is all set up and ready to use. My mom on the other hand is like a 15 she could use the machine while doing 4 other things, and talking on the phone. :)
Bridget says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5-7, I sew a reasonable amount of clothing and cushions. I’ve just got engaged so if I won this probably its first use would be sewing my wedding dress.
