***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!
I have a lot to learn about sewing and would love to learn on this machine :)
Amy says
SEW ME….Right about a 3, but getting better as I sew on my mum’s vintage Kenmore machine that has to weight about 75 pounds!
Holly says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1… desperately trying to make my way up to a 3 or even a 2 would be good!
Carley says
Sew me! I’m probably a 2..but willing to learn!
Kelsey says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3.5 at best, a “wonky” bag or duvet cover is a pretty big accomplishment. Last time I attempted a project I ripped the foot off my machine! (So a new machine would be AWESOME!)
keri says
Sew me!! please
I am a 1 with the high hopes and dreams of a 6?!? I would love to fly solo on my very own machine.
Bailey says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 4 or a 5 but I know a new Singer could bring me up a couple levels!
ashley wilbanks says
SEW ME… definately a 1 all the way. I have managed to sew 2 quilts but it was mostly me getting frustrated and my Mom finishing :)
Clare says
this is SEW ME [pun]
I’m definitely on the lower end of the scale – maybe a 3? But I got some curtains that need a’hemming and no-sew tape will not do! This would be awesome. Please random.org, pick me ;)
Whitney says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 1..haven’t sewed since home ec in high school, although I would love to try again.
Alyssa says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4, but I’d be better if my sewing machine wasn’t mostly broken at the moment!
Tracy says
sew me!
Amber says
Sew Me!
Right now, I’m a 1. But, I’m eager to improve. I’ve signed myself up for a sewing workshop for beginners at our local community arts center. So, maybe after that I’ll be a 2. Having a machine to practice on, wouldn’t hurt.
Erika Rocio says
SEW ME! I think I’m a solid 6… but magical things can happen with enough red bull and a deadline ;)
Andres L says
SEW ME!!!
Tessa says
I’m a 5. I can see simple garments with a pattern, but would like to learn a lot more.
Justine R. says
Sew Me!!! I’m a 2..I made a quilt in high school..hehe :)
Amy B. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5 or 6. I’ve managed curtains, quilts and a piped chair slipcover (turns out it’s so much harder when there’s a large pattern!). I can take in jean waistbands without it looking too bad. But I have much to learn. I’m not too happy with my current machine, so an upgrade would be great!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Lisa Romney says
Sew Me!
I am probably in the 4-5 range. I can sew fairly well and am not intimidated by it, but I don’t do it regularly mostly because my sewing machine died and in order to sew I have to borrow someone elses machine.
Natalie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2-3 depending on the project.
Natasha S says
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!!! :)
Tracy says
SEW ME!
Well, my family is a 4.03. That’s a 4 for me, zero for my 8th grade son (just starting the sewing unit in Healthy Living), and 3 for my high schooler, who remakes thrift store finds in her own style (without a machine). Current machine is busted.
Laura says
SEW ME!
I actually took a sewing class way back when, so I’d say I’m a 4. Just above the wonky bag territory, which a faint idea about how to thread the needle.
Sarah L says
Sew me!!!
I would say a 1! I am so bad at sewing that I even had my granny sew a project I had to do in school! Got extremely good marks for that!
Lee says
SEW ME …
… super excited to win this!
I am probably a 3. I know how to thread the machine and make it go. I don’t know how to follow a pattern but I seem to be able to make stuff up as I go along. I somehow managed to make my daughter’s first Halloween costume (http://instagram.com/p/RdqnVdgxjt/), something which I am super proud of. I did it on a borrowed machine, so I would love to have one of my own to tackle my next project … a quilt for my new nephew!
Courtney says
SEW ME! I am…3…or…2.5 or a 2.25…but none the less, I sew a lot! Simple things like quilts or patching stuff up. But oh do I love to look at patterns and ‘how to sew’ books :-)
Cathy says
SEW ME! I’m a 4. I felt very accomplished when I taught myself how to use the buttonhole feature!
Ashley Michelle says
SEW ME!!! I am actually a -1…I tried to sew once and the machine started smoking!!
Bailee says
I’m a 7. I have sewn some pretty cool dresses with no pattern!
Krista B says
Sew me!!!
I’m a 2. Have tons of nursery projects I want to accomplish and don’t think no-sew hem tape will work this time.
Natasha S says
SEW ME!! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Sara says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1 but I always wanted to learn!
kristin says
SEW ME! I’m probably right in the middle, around a five, but a little out of practice!
Laura M says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a 6–thankful for a mother who taught me (and still teaches me!)
Nikki says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1. But dreaming of one day being a 10!
Elisha says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 3. I recently refreshed my high school learnt skills at a night class and am now delving in to the world of home sew clothes for my daughter!
Stephanie Jones says
SEW ME!
My sewing ability is about a 3 or 4 but I would love to get more practice and turn it into a 5 or 6. I usually make all my gifts so I would love to whip up some awesomeness our next family birthday and surprise everyone.
Trista G says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 3. I took a FACS (Home Ec) class back in the day, but I’m not sure how much I retained.
M Obringer says
SEW ME! I’m a pretty decent sewing by hand, but don’t know how to use a sewing machine
Kayla price says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 3!
Carolyn says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably a 5. Good intentions (I took classes when I was young, and my mom is probably a 9), but I’m a little lazy when it comes to the measuring and being precise, etc…so basically, I can sew a decent pillow cover or hem a pair of jeans, but there is really no need to check them out too closely ;)
Mauresa says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a one. Hoping a machine will inspire me to somewhere beyond that!
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
I think about about at a 3 but always wanted to learn more.
Melissa D says
Sew Me!
I’m probably at a 2 on sewing skills. I would love to improve though! I’ve been making gifts by sewing by hand, but a machine would be an awesome way to speed things up a bit.
Christy says
sew me! 2.5!!
Laura says
SEW ME! I’d say my sewing machine skills are about a 7 — always room to improve!
Katherine says
I’m definitely a one on this scale! I learned to sew in high school, but didn’t keep it up, so I’ve forgotten everything! My mom sews like a pro, so I’m sure she could get me up to speed again.
Kaitlin says
SEW ME!!
On a scale of 1 to 10….0. But I’m eager! lol
Rebecca says
SEW ME! I am a 2-3 – definitely lots of room for improvement!
Karen says
SEW ME!
I think I’m about a 0.5 – I could probably figure out that the needle is the pointy piece of the machine and thats about it! My Mum is pretty good though, so I’m sure she could teach me
