***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…

Brianna says
SEW ME! I’d probably give myself a 2 for my sewing skills– they could definitely be improved upon, although I have a very general idea what I’m doing!
Morgan MacKay says
Sew me! I’m about a two!
Jeromy T. says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1…
Brigette says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 2.5. I have tried to make a few things but the worst was when I made a quilt and it completely fell apart when I washed it for the first time… so sad!
Anna says
SEW ME!! I would say I’m a 7, but have never owned a new sewing machine. I’m currently using a vintage (read: frustrating) singer, so it would be amazing to have a new, easy to use machine for all my projects!!
Jen says
SEW ME!
I’m going to go with an 8. I’m a little out of practice, but have made a couple of quilts, a prom dress, some baby clothes…
Michelle says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 3, but I’m probably more of a 2. Sad.
adria says
Sew me!!
I do all of my sewing by hand or using iron on hem tape! Would love to win this “sew” I can turn it up a notch!
Ari says
SEW ME!I’m a three. I can make wonky pajama pants on a sewming machine, but I’m much better at embroidery.
Kathryn Rollstin says
Sew Me!!
I’m definitely a 4! I love making my own blankets but have many mistakes along the way!
Rachel says
Please SEW ME how to sew! I am definitely a 1, but would love to become more knowledgable and skilled with sewing. Thanks for the opportunity!
Kay says
SEW ME!
I would say that im a 5 (barely) I used to sew lots years ago and was pretty good at it – ive been wanting to begin to do it again – its relaxing and so much fun!
cristy says
SEW ME!!!
I’m probably a 4 or 5… cross your fingers for me… I’m taking on a sewing project for Christmas!
Maureen says
“SEW ME!”
I would rate myself as a ZERO. I haven’t in years and can’t remember even how to use a machine, but have been dying to get back into it!
Kim says
SEW ME! I’m a 2 for sewing skill, but hopefully I’ll win and practice my way up to a 10.
Jeanie Carter says
“SEW ME”—I consider myself about a 7 on a scale of one to ten….love sewing DIY projects around the house…by the way, love, love your blog…
Clara Grace says
SEW ME – I’m a 1 but would love tom improve my skills
Chrissy Roselli says
SEW ME! I rank myself a 1. Thanks!

SEW ME! – I would rank myself as a 5. I can sew a pillow case or curtains like nobody’s business. :)
Kim Rose says
Sew Me! 1 for sure!!!!
Penni McNamara says
SEW ME! Zero sewing skills….even though my Mom is a seamstress. If I win I have built in lessons!
Carrie W. says
Sew me!
I’m probably somewhere around a 5 now…though back in middle school, I won a reserve champion at the state fair for a jumper dress that I sewed!
Luke says
Sew me! I’m pretty good with a sewing machine, maybe a 5?
Marcia Lamar says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, but I want to learn!
Kathryn H says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m with Sherry as a 3 on the sewing scale. I can sew, it just may not exactly be clean and in a perfectly straight line.
Sarah R. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 0.5 to 1. I’ve tried it once or twice, but never could get that straight line. I was using a friends machine, so I have never been able to practice. I would LOVE my own machine!
Julia @ This Idiot's Guide says
SEW ME!
I am a big fat ZERO, never sewn a single thing, wouldn’t even know where to start. So an idiot-proof sewing machine is right up my alley!
Amy L. says
SEW ME! I am a 3 like Sherry, but I am hoping my 8 year old, Anna, will develop into a 7-9. She has a real interest and a machine would help put her on her way.
Abby says
Sew Me!
I’m just a two, but I’m hoping to take a sewing class to be at least a 5 : )
Meg says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably around a 4 or 5 on the Aptitude Scale of Sewing. :-)
Jenni says
“SEW ME!” This giveaway makes my day! I was just telling my hubby how I wish I had a sewing machine, but I can’t bring myself to spend the $$$.
I am probably a 2, but I have dreams of being a 10!!! My mom knows how to use a sewing machine and used to whip up the coolest hallowe’en costumes and pillows and even clothes for me when I was little. With little ones in our hopeful future, I would love to be able to develop the skills to do the same for my kids!
keegan says
SEW ME!
could not sew a stitch if you paid me, but would love a reason to learn!
Anna says
SEW ME!
On a scale of 1 to 10, I am approximately a -5 when it comes to sewing skills. I am much more likely to break the sewing machine than to actually stitch a bag (or, you know, one seam). But I really, really want to learn how to sew!
Lizbeth says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 3 or a 4- I can do enough to really screw up, curse, try again a few times, and finish with a not-to-terrible project.
Betsy says
SEW ME. Big Fat ZERO.
Caroline says
SEW ME! I’m totally a 1 but dying to learn how to sew.
Claire says
SEW ME! I rank pretty low on the sewing continuum. Luckily my husband is a bit of a dab hand at it though!
Ashley Stewart says
Sew me!!! I am definitely a 1 on the scale…just learning, but would love my own machine to practice on!
Alyssa says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 7…not the best at following instructions, but I’ve made some decent looking items!
emily h. says
SEW ME! I’m a 0?? I’ve always wanted to learn though!
Nic H. says
SEW ME!
While I can hand-stitch a hole or tear like nobody’s bidniss, I’ve never used a machine but have an entire folder of bookmarks with projects I’d love to tackle. :)
carrie says
SEW ME! Definitely a 3. I can sew curtains & pillows(straight lines). I once made about a dozen gathered skirts for a production of “Scrooge” in college. It would probably take me hours to try that again, tho!
emily says
umm i am probably a -1 on the sewing talent scale. i have a complete lack of sewing skills… but would like to learn to sew and make the whole sewing thing SEW totally ME! hope i win!! :)
Leah says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 4, as long as there are detailed instructions (with lots of pictures) to follow. I’m using a borrowed machine, so winning my own would be awesome!
Allisson says
SEW ME! I am awful at sewing eventhough my mom has showed me many times. Hoping this machine would be easy enough even for me.
Kelsey W says
SEW ME! I was in 4-H as a kid (serious nerd alert!) so on a scale of 1-10 I’d say I’m about a 7. There is definitely “passionate muttering” every single time I make anything.
Elizabeth says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 but I’d love to learn!
Kelly Morley says
SEW ME! I have never sewn a thing but I would love to try some pillows and simple clothes for my daughter! :)
Rachael R says
SEW ME! I’ve always wanted to learn how to sew!
Kristine says
SEW ME! I’m about a 2 out of 10…I really like the idea of an automatic needle threader!
