***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…

Wyndi says
SEW ME!!!
I’m a 0! Oh wait…not an option. I’m definitely a 1 with a stong desire to be a pro some day! :)
Bekah Anne says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 3-4? I can do basic things, but not so good with the machine.
Kim H. says
SEW ME! I’m about a 4, I’d say :)
Abby says
SEW ME! I’m about a 2 on the skills scale. But I would like to improve that!
J says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 6-7 on the old, broken machine I’m using, but would probably be a solid 8 if I had a good machine!
Lisa says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 3. I could make a bag that would probably last 3 or 4 whole uses before falling apart!
tara rubano says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably at a very basic level with my sewing skills, being that I haven’t really done any sewing since middle school! However, I’ve always wanted to get a machine and get my sew on!
Jessica says
SEW ME, please!!! :-)
I’m a little bit more than Sherry’s rating of 3…have even made a few things from scratch (though they’re not perfect!). I’d probably say I was a 5 or 6. :-) I would LOVE to win this. I’ve been sewing on a vintage 1940s Singer since I was about 12, with only a straight-stitch option. I’ve been wanting to tackle a few more complicated projects and my machine makes it almost impossible. :-)
Tasha says
SEW ME! I’d call me a 4, just because I’ve made a pillow or two.
Karen M says
SEW ME ! I am a pretty good sewer but never learned how to do button holes !
Marcela says
SEW ME!
I am probably around a 3 or 4…I can take stuff in (shirts, pants), but I haven’t tried making anything from scratch yet…and I always forget how to actually start sewing on a machine..I always have my mom a phone call away for that :)
Kelly says
SEW Me, Please
I’m a 3-4 on the Sewing Scale as I have not sewn much in the past ten years due to wonky sewing machines, but once upon a time I made a velvet duvet cover that stayed in one piece for years
Oona says
SEW ME!
I would say I am a 4, i tried dresses and patchwork-blankets before, and it was wearable /usable…
btw: i love when your giveaways ship worldwide! I am a reader of your blog from Germany :)
Sam says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 or 2…I’ve sewed curtains and a pillow cover, but that’s it…would love to take classes though!
KB says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 5 or 6 – I took sewing classes in high school.
hill says
SEW ME!!
I’d say a 3, with a frustration level of 10
JENNY H says
SEW ME! Before taking on a project I think I’m a 6 or 7…but reality is I’m probably a 2 or 3…always have high hopes and keep on truckn
Mary says
SEW ME!
Likely around a 4. I’ve done some small projects, but my machine is too weak to handle anything heavy duty. I’d love to be able to sew through fabrics like canvas or denim!
Erin says
SEW ME!
Beginner with aspirations of being able to make curtains and other decorative things.
Jennifer says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 but my 10-year-old daughter is a 5 and would LOVE a new machine!
Staci H says
SEW ME!
I am around a 4 and I’ve been slowly doing more on the home decor front, I’ve only sewed basic apparel. But I LOVE it!!!
Thanks for the opportunity, you guys are the best!
Wendy says
SEW ME!
I’d say a wonky 3 when i first try a project but I’m a fast learner so after a couple of attempts it’d jump to a straight 5. Practice makes perfect!
Courtney says
Sew ME!! I am definitely a 1…I could hand sew a button on and that is about it but I would love to win and learn how!
Rae says
SEW ME! I’m around a 1 to 2. I can hand sew simple items, but have yet to use a machine.
Jamie S says
SEW ME!
I would say that I am probably a 5 or a 6. I have made a dog bed before but I am not an exact person and the edges were not square. Oh well!
Melissa G says
sew me! I’d say I’m around a 7 in terms of sewing. I can alter clothes, have made a few quilts and stuffed animals. I can definitely follow a a pattern pretty well:)
emily says
sew me!
i’d say i’m a 5 or 6. with a pattern and instructions i can make it.
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
Never sewn. But if I had a machine, I would learn from my gram!
Thanh says
Sew Me! I would say that I am a 3 as well.
Brian says
Sew me! I am a 1!
mel zeiger says
SEW ME!! My sewing machine and I are still l earning to get along, there hasn’t been any blood or tears in a while, so things are looking up ;)
Jessi says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2, but I really want to learn! Thanks YHL and Singer!
Sheila says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 2. I made myself some curtains once. And by made, I mean I sewed a straight hem. And I even made some placemats, again with the straight hems.
tess says
sew me! I am a 1 but dying to learn since my sisters are always sewing their lives away!
Elizabeth E says
SEW ME!
I’m dying to learn!
Nichole says
SEW ME!! I am totally a zero but I would love to start sewing!!
terri d. says
SEW ME! Once upon a time, I was a pretty decent seamstress when I made costumes for my high school theater productions. Since I’ve been sewing machine-less for over 10 years, my skills are a little rusty but I would love to get back in the game!
Meg says
SEW ME!
I don’t know–maybe a 5? I can make stuff, but no one would mistake me for anything near an expert.
Shannon says
SEW ME! I’m at about a 2 or 3 – sewing slightly more than the basic stuff but still arguing a lot with my sewing machine!
Elaine Jones says
SEW ME!
I have been sewing since I was 8 (42 yrs). I am a 10 but my daughter would love to have her own sewing machine to enjoy creating like I do with mine. I would like to win it for her.
Angela says
SEW ME!
Probably a 4…ish. Maybe a 3?
anne says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 1. I can sew on a button and use stitch witchery like a pro…would that move me up to a 2? I think not.
Gisela Ramos says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 7. I once had a bag-making stint (or stitch?) with my roommate and I still have the one I bought from us (we did about 20 and FLEW off of our hands, but we never find the time again, sad). Also, I used to do my dolls’ clothes when I was little. Finally, even though it’s not sewing related, I just dyed some jeans (I may hhave applied the “say-a-little-prayer-once-or-twice” tip from Sherry and her wedding gown) a pretty coral color, just in time for summer here in Argentina. YAY FOR AN INTERNATIONAL FREEBIE! Keep them coming, people!
Besos from Buenos Aires

Sara says
SEW ME!
I am a 1! I’ve never sewn anythinig in my life. My mom and future MIL are both 10’s so I have been enabled to never learn :) I would love to start though!
Brenna says
SEW ME!!!!
I’d say a 3, maybe a 4 with some memory jogging. In high school we had a charity fashion show and we would each design up to 10 handmade outfits to show on the runway!
Jessica says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 4. I can sew straight lines, but I do not know much about the weft and draping of fabric, nor can I figure out much past notions. I truly want to make some clothes though! Perhaps a continuing education class is in my future!
Heather says
Sew me! I’m probably around a 3 as well, but I keep telling myself that if I wasn’t using my grandmother’s 45 year old machine I’d totally be able to actually sew instead of trying to fix it every 10 stitches!!
Alison Brough says
Sew Me! I would say I’m about a 4 if I put my mind to it. I could make a quilt of some simple curtains, but sewing clothes would take some serious effort.
Neely says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 4. I somehow managed to sew a couple of fun Halloween costumes during my college days.
Courtney says
Sew Me! I am a 2!
