***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…

SEW ME!
Used to sew a lot (4-H, home ec. classes, etc.), back in high school and college but slowed down to infrequent mending after four children. Guess I could be a 7 or an 8 on the scale.
I still have my original no-frills Singer machine (no button-hole maker!) that my parents bought me when I was in high school.
Jhoann says
SEW ME!
I think i’m a 3 or a 4, i have made a quilt.
Lindsey says
SEW ME!!
I think I’m around a 3. I learned how to sew in junior high and made several fun things then, but I haven’t sewn in quite some time, so I think I’d be a little rusty now.
Maria Fernanda Gromann says
SEW ME!
I would consider myself a 3, but if I win the prize Im for sure gonna become a 10!!!
Jen says
SEW ME!
I think I’m probably around a five. I started sewing when I had my first daughter (May 12th, 2010) and have continued the tradition when number two came around last year :) I love it!
Renee says
SEW ME!
I’d have to rate myself a 1! I once made a t-shirt pillow in Home Ec. when I was in middle school. My mom is an avid and excellent sewer so getting my very own sewing machine would be awesome! She could teach me when she comes to visit!
Fiona says
SEW ME – I’m a three!
britton says
sew me!
Jennifer Bell says
SEW ME!!! :D
Definitely a 2 or 3 right now, although looking forward to being a 10 one day!
Jennifer S says
Sew Me!!!
I would say I’m a 5-6. I have sewn a dress (a simple one) from scratch. And I’ve sewn a lot of curtains and home decor. I am so excited for this give away because I have asked for a sewing machine for Christmas from my dear hubby!!!!
Tiffany says
Sew me!
I’m a 0 hahaha
Ruth van den Brink says
SEW ME!
I am ‘SEW’ excited this is an international giveaway! I am about a 4 who is mad enough to think she can follow tutorials and give things a go. I managed to slipcover my lounge suite a while ago and love just trying things out. Would love to try this machine. Thanks for the international giveaway.
Becky says
SEW ME!!
I am about a 3. Have made curtains and a few small projects. Would love to do more!
Holly Marie says
Sew me! I’m going to give myself a 5 or 6.
Kate S says
SEW ME
I come from a long line of sewers in my family but didn’t quite get that gene. Since I’ve been around it forever I can get by but am no where near an expert. I’d put myself at a 4, but one striving to be an 8!
Karoline says
SEW ME! I’m totally a negative 1. But I aspire to be at least a 5!
Heather says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 4 but practice makes perfect right? Especially with a new snazzy machine! ;-)
mary says
sew me!
i’m a 4-5.5, i think? i could definitely sew a bag (this is my go-to pattern: http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2010/5/7/mollys-sketchbook-the-twenty-minute-tote.html) but sewing clothing is still something only cloth-magicians do!
Megan Lopes says
SEW ME!
I would say that I am a 2. I sewed a skirt about 5 years ago and I keep saying that I want to get back into it.
Jessica says
SEW ME!
My sewing has consisted of hem tape, a damp cloth and an iron. I need to learn!
Angie says
Sew Me! I’m about a 4. My mom was a seamstress but I refused to be taught until I was older.
andrea says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 2, but slowly making my way up! I’m in college and I’m trying to learn but it’s difficult. I definitely will learn before I graduate though! Sewing machine, here I come!
Brooke says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2 or 3. I could probably make something super basic….and I did go to a sewing camp one summer back in the day (nerd alert).
joy figueroa says
oh, please SEW ME! i grew up in a house with multiple sewing machines but now that i live on my own in a foreign country, i so miss the easy access! also cos i rip my clothes… um, a lot.
Mattie Reposa says
SEW ME! I would be around a 2, I have sewed dresses and skirts and bags, but I still cant thread a bobin!
Angie G. says
SEW ME!
I’m a one. I’ve never sewn in my life, but recently decided that I should learn. This would be great to start with! Thanks for the chance to win!
luiz fernando says
SEW ME!
Im a 2, but I have never used a sewing machine. Looking fwd to get this one!
Steph says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 5. I’m not afraid to sew complicated things, just could use more technical skills (and time/patience)!
Kate says
SEW ME! I would rate myself a 7 if I’m in the rare patient mode, but for everyday, let’s say 5. I use a 1960’s machine, and have reupholstered a couch that had 6 box cushions, so I know how to fake it. But ask me to explain, or use the correct vernacular, and that’s where I’ll get a big fat F.
Rachel says
Sew Me! I could probably be a 3…I’ve made a quilt before! But that’s all straight lines, so I don’t know how well I’d do otherwise.
Traci says
SEW ME! I am a 1. I haven’t sewed since Home Economics in 7th grade. But I’m dying to learn! : )
Eryn says
SEW ME! I am a 2 in hand sewing things, but a 1 in using a sewing machine. I seriously want to start though!
ALEXANDRA says
SEW ME!!!!
I would say Im a 4. I’ve made about 3 skirts. 1 of them I can say I am very proud of but I did need a lot of help on reading the pattern.
Rachel says
Sew me!!! I’m a solid 2, I’d definitely need some help to finish any project, and it would probably still end up wonky!
Paula says
SEW ME!
Yay, a global giveaway!
I’m a wannabe 8 and more like a 3. I think sewing is one of those skills that easily updates a home, like knowing how to paint.
JennE says
SEW ME!
I’m a pretty solid 9!
Amber says
SEW ME!
I have to relearn every time I approach a sewing machine, but I’ve made some stuff over the years–aprons, pillows, curtains. Nothing too complex, and nothing that should be overly examined, but I’m dreaming of starting a (simple) quilt. I’ll be optimistic and call myself a 4. :)
Leigh Anne says
SEW ME!
I’m currently a 1, but I hope to change that one day. Skillz like Sherry seem so far away…
jenny says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3 or so, i have to remind myself how to use the machine everytime i break it out. I’ve been interested in improving my skills forever. One day. :)
Melissa Levin says
SEW ME!
I would make the greatest wonky 4 bag, but I just know that an automatic needle threader would take me all the way up to 10!
Molly says
SEW ME!
I would say I am a solid 2 and would love to improve my skills!
ashley says
SEW ME!
I’d be like a -1! Last time I touched a sewing machine was in 8th grade home ec! And I didn’t even finish the shorts! I’d love to learn how to sew again, but the machines these days are so intimidating!

Im probably a 2, trying to become a 5.
maria helvetia says
SEW ME!
Megan says
SEW ME!
I actually took a home ec class in 8th grade (and I’m only in my mid 20s, so it wasn’t that long ago) and sewed a couple pretty cool bags. However, it has been since then that I have touched a sewing machine. So, I’ll say a two. But, my house is being built currently, and I want to sew some curtains and pillows and other fun stuff.
Gregg says
SEW ME!
close to zero….
Megan says
SEW ME!!! I’m definitely a 1 or 2, but anxious to improve :)
Valerie says
SEW ME – 1. I don’t know how to sew on a button. I should learn.
Jenny C says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 4 – I’ve made Christmas stockings for my nephews but anything beyond that, nope.
Sarah H. says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 5/10 and my sewing machine just broke last week!
Laurel says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a four, but then I realize that most of my “experience” is all from watching my mother. Hahahahah
