Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: On Your Mark, Get Set, Sew!

| By John Petersik | October 14, 2013 | 95 Comments

Fab Freebie: On Your Mark, Get Set, Sew!

With last week’s fabric-filled giveaway still on our brains, we thought you could use something to turn random swatches of fabric into something awesome this week. Enter the Singer Vivo sewing machine, stage left. It’s conveniently compact, and it’s made with non-sewers in mind – so it’s for any do-it-yourselfers and crafters who are looking to knock out projects (like this embellished dishtowel tutorial) without having to lug out a bulky machine or pore over an instruction manual. And to make your new life as a sewing ninja even easier, they’re also throwing in some scissors and a thread kit for a total prize package of over $300.

Singer Sewing Machine Giveaway

Please use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter (it might take a second to load, but it should eventually pop up below this paragraph). This giveaway is available worldwide!

    I am just curious. I was looking up The Decorating Outlet and see it comes up under The Shades of Light website. Is it part of the store there?

      It’s their outlet, so it’s run by a different set of people but it’s where returned/damaged things from Shades of Light are sold as well as other off-brand stuff like our new dining table (products that they use for shoots in their catalog end up there too, so they’re not all made by Shades of Light). You can read more about it here: https://www.younghouselove.com/2013/10/im-still-laughing-about-blardware/

    My nieces just requested some of these skirts for Christmas and this would arrive just in time to make them.

    Sherry, I think you should give it a try for Clara. They are sew (sorry I couldn’t help it) easy! She could even help pick out the fabric. :)

    Thanks for the freebie offer!

    I would LOVE to win this! I have the same machine as yours, Sherry, and I’m afraid I’ve broken it. The quote to fix it was higher than the machine cost, so I’ve just shoved it to the back of my closet. I miss sewing, even though I’m not so good at it!

      So sorry about that Shawna! I think if you call the 800 number on their site they can calculate shipping for you and send things internationally even if the online ordering part of the site says they can’t. Hope it helps!

    Oh man, this is perfect. A week or so ago bought a ton of fabric in hopes of making a queen sized quilt. I asked an experienced quilt maker for advice and she informed be that there was not a chance of making it by hand, but being the ambitious gal that I am was going to try anyways. This would probably make it easier though haha

    Thank you both for the sweet chance to win. I haven’t sewn for a year now, due to depression, (he dumped me after a 15 year relationship), but I am slowly trying to get back to normal. I learned to sew at my mother’s knee, and started on her pink Necchi machine, which was an Italian flatbed model that weighed a ton! I have a 12 year old basic model White, but someday, I hope to advance to a model with more features. I volunteer now at my local college’s Art department, in the costuming section. They have sergers, and I do a lot of basic mending for them. It’s not quite sewing, but it gets me out of the house and back to living. Thanks again for your blog, you are a very sweet family, and the DIY is super.

    I watched the demo and found it’s sold at Walmart so I’ll check on that. Most of my sewing these days is alterations since I have to keep getting the XXXXS! I give up sometimes and wear the kids clothes, like the Hello Kitty shirts and skirts, lol. Would love to win this.

    What a great giveaway! I’ve been using my mother’s 1970’s special. So special. It causes me to make ‘special’ stiches, curse special words and have special hot flashes. I absolutely H.A.T.E. that machine and would love to put it out for retirement. Fingers crossed!
