***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…

Alli says
SEW ME!!!!
I would have to say that I’m around the 4 mark. I’ve made Halloween costumes, but only those not requiring perfect stitching. I could probably hem curtains or make a wonky bag, but that’s about it.
Michelle says
Please SEW ME!
I’m a one, but come from a long line of women that sew. It is in my genes, so I just need a user-friendly machine now to tap into my hidden talent.
Mary A says
SEW ME! I’m a zero, but I want to learn.
Kimberly says
Sew Me!!! I’d say I’m a 5 or 6. I’ve been sewing for about 5 years — nothing fancy but I could make a bag!
Julie says
SEW ME!
I would say a 4. I started sewing about 2 years ago with a cheapo machine to see if I could do it. I’ve pushed that machine to the limits between the curtains and other house projects.
Elizabeth says
Sew Me!
I’m giving myself a 6.5 after seven gum drop costumes for the local production of The Nutcracker, my skills have gotten a little better!
Renee says
Sew me!
I’m probably about, oh, a 3 or so. I can sew somewhat straight lines but I dream about the day I can make a quilt…even if it would be a bit wonky. :D
Linda Mello-Teta says
Sew Me! I am about a 6 or 7 thanks to my 1970’s home ec class!
Tamara says
SEW ME!
I would have to say I am a 1 on the sewing continuum. However, I have an entire pinterest board dedicated to “When I learn to Sew”. LOL When I finish my degree – I plan on starting to learn. This singer sewing machine would definitely help!
Love love love your blog. I just bought your book and LOVE it too! I would post-it note the projects I want to try but I would probably end up post-it noting the entire book. haha.
Maranda says
Sew me! I’m definitely a one, but learning has been on my to do list forever
Melba Malpass says
SEW ME!!
Lisa C. says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 3, but would LOVE the chance to practice on a brand-spanking new machine, rather than on my mom’s from the 70s.
Katie says
SEW ME!!!! I’d have to say that I’m a 1. I once sewed a “glow in the dark” shirt when I was 10, but my mom did most of that. Would love to work my way to a 5.
Heather says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1 on the sewing scale and can honestly say that I haven’t sewn anything since middle school home-EC classes. I’ve been wanting to learn though so that I can make many of the cool projects I find on Pinterest. :-)
Laura says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2-I can sew on a button or fix a small hole but that’s it!
DF says
SEW ME!
I’d say maybe a 2 or a 3. I love your blog. I wish it was easier for me to just dive into projects. I usually spend all my energy worrying about how it will turn out. I have managed to make a couple of baby quilts and we recently painted our loft so I’m making baby steps towards being a better DIY-er. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
Windie says
SEW ME!
A 1, but could be a 2 if I win this!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a 1.5. I once tried to sew a pair of shorts with pockets and an elastic waist, but somehow sewed the pockets shut. I’m ready again to try to upgrade from my glue gun curtains to some that can actually be washed!
Lena says
SEW ME!
Curtain panels a 7 or adding trim to a fleece blanket and then everything else about a 4.
Jeannie says
SEW ME!!!
Definitely a 1, but I want to learn!!!
Kari says
SEW ME!
I’m just learning how to sew and I just dragged my borrowed machine out of my closet last night- I so want one to call my own! :) I’m a 2?? but very eager to learn.
Jen says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2.5. Thanks!
Leah says
SEW ME!!!!!!
I’m definitely classified as a 1, but I totally want to be a 10! I have grand visions of becoming Martha… now, if only I owned a sewing machine! ;)
Lyndsey says
SEW ME!
I’m so a 1!!!!
Becky says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4/5. Would love to whip up a new pillow cover with a new machine!
pebbles says
SEW ME!!
im pretty sure im a 1, but i have on occasion fixed/cleaned my grandmother’s machine. maybe that makes me a 1.5?
Jill Lassen says
SEW ME – 2! My mom is teaching me how to sew straight lines and we are making my almost 9 month old’s first Christmas stocking together!
Steph says
SEW ME!
I am pretty crafty but have a terrible machine. As a kid I sewed all my barbie’s clothes and things! HA!
Kerri A. says
sew me! i want to learn!!
Jessica says
Sew me! I’d say I’m around a 4-5. Quilting is good practice but really only ensures that I’m good at straight seams.
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1…maybe a .5 if I’m being honest.
Haley says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely no more than a three and on some days, that may be generous….
Jessica says
SEW ME!
Me, I’m probably a two. Really depends on your definition of “bag”…. but I’d love to have an excuse to practice more!
Anne Marie Adams says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 2-3. I love sewing but I’m not that great at it. I blame my old sewing machine. :)
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m around a 3 or 4. I’ve made a few sewing projects before, but I’m no expert. I’m constantly amazed when people can sew tailored items, like a blazer or something. I’ve actually been wanting to get a sewing machine for a couple of projects (like a t-shirt quilt!) but haven’t gotten around to doing that yet. This is an awesome giveaway – thanks guys!
Cheryl says
I am probably a 6. I really want to win this for my daughter-in-law who wants to learn how to sew.
Bethany H says
Sew Me!
I would be a 5. I can do the basics but think a better machine would really help me get up to a 7!
sile says
I learned how to sew in 4-H when I was seven, but I’d say I’m only still a three, thirty years later.
Kristen says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a 4 or 5. I know how to sew, its just not always as pretty as I imagine before I start :)
Kelly says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5 or 6. I’d love to win this for my mom who has had the same sewing machine for 30+ years. She has dreams of making a quilt someday…Thanks for the chance!
Angela R. says
SEW ME! I think I could excel at sewing only if I had a really good machine that’s user-friendly. I’ve borrowed machines before and the instructions always stumps me. Consequently, my ex-husband and boyfriend always did the sewing portion! LOL. I’d love to win this machine, it looks so easy and I could finally practice. I’d love to make a quilt one day.
Dominika says
SEW ME! Probably a 3 – I can anything with straight edges, like curtains and tablecloths.
Leslie says
SEW ME!! I’m definitely a 0 on the scale but who knows what could happen with a new machine!
Kat says
SEW ME! I’m about a 4 on the sewing skills chart, bur my husband and daughter are naturals at it– so my whole family could really use this machine! :)
Kaysi says
SEW ME! I’m a 7 in my head, but in reality I’m a solid 3. :)
Riri says
Sew me! I would have said I’m a 3; but if Sherry is a 3 then I’m most likely a 2, haha.
Rebecca says
Sew me! I think I firmly in the number 3/wonky bag category. I can sew just enough to claim that I can sew.
Jenny Carson says
SEW ME!!
I am probably a 5. I could do a straight stitch well, so sewing simple projects are something I can do, but I still have a whole lot to learn.
connie says
Sew me! I’m probably a 2. At one point I was probably a 4 but I’ve been out of the sewing loop for a while…so a 2 with potential.
Natalie C says
Sew me! (not literally please)
If Sherry is a 3 then I’m definitely a 0 or 1. Maybe MAYBE a 2. I’ve sewed things before but I’m more of a haphazard seamstress.
