***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 would be a 0. Never tried to sew, but sew ready to learn! ;)
Julia says
SEW ME! My sewing skills are pretty basic – I always get confused when I have to re-thread the machine. I stick with sewing straight lines!
Tracy says
SEW ME!
I never sew…but my mom is great at it and I am forever giving her projects to do! She would love this!
Katie V. says
Sew me! I just sewed curtains for our new guest bedroom and my presser foot isn’t working correctly! I’d say I’m a 5 but I rarely do anything that is complicated and if I do, I ask my mom for help. :-)
Maria L. says
SEW ME!
I’m actually pretty good at hand sewing, but not so much with a machine. I’m going to try to improve though!!
Kristine G says
SEW ME!!
I’ll go with a 4. My pillow cases won’t come out wonky but sewing a pair of fitted anything will be! I used to take classes when I was younger and would love love love to re-learn and be able to bring to life the sweet fabric filled dreams that I am having right now.
Jessica H. says
SEW ME! I’m a 3!
Jen says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 but want to learn!
tiara says
“SEW ME!” I would say a 3 if it’s easy i can make it
Beth says
SEW ME! I am a 1, but would love to learn!
Cheryl Joy says
In high school I got stuck in an elective called “The Principals of Clothing” (abbreviated PrinceCloth on my schedule) and thought, “what in the world is THAT?!” It ended up being a class on quilting and I actually love, love, loved it. Not only did we have a laid back teacher who would let us wander around the courtyard with friends when we were not feeling productive, but I learned a lot and make two awesome quilts. When I finished the class, I borrowed my mom’s sewing machine. She made most of her clothes when she was younger and taught me how to make these cute, fluffy, three-tiered skirts in funky patterns. Pretty soon, the girls at school started asking if they could commission me to make skirts for them too. I never did, because it took hours and hours just to make one, but I did let my friends borrow mine. I had a chili pepper skirt, a red skirt with white polka dots, a pink and ivory striped skirt that I called my “party skirt” and more. I haven’t touched a sewing machine since, but every time I look for new curtains, I swear I will just buy a sewing machine before I pay $80 per panel! :) So, I’d rate myself as a 5- I’ve got the essentials, but I’m surely rusty. My bag would probably be just as wonky as Sherry’s.
Sarah says
SEW ME! I am a 2. My sewing is best admired from a distance, so you can’t see my crooked seams ;)
Tam says
I’m a around a 3 if I just grit my teeth and do it. My Mom is a 10 though and needs a new machine :^)
Tori says
SEW ME! I’m pretty much a 1…or a 0. I can hand sew–does that give me any points?
Melissa says
SEW ME! I am a ONE if noT ZERO! i’m just a short girl with a simple dream of heming my own pants for the rest of my days (in addition to creating one-of-a-kind awesome pieces!)
Danae says
SEW ME! I’m a 3…and I’ve been dying to sew new covers for our pillows!
Sheryl Kingston says
Sew Me! I learned to sew from my mother when I was about 12 but it doesn’t stop me from having to sew, rip out, and resew every seam.
Linda says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 (but could probably cheat myself up to a 2 with this machine!)
Katherine W. says
SEW ME!! I would say a 5 or so. I can sew a pretty good curtain, pillow, blanket, and purse. I have gotten pretty good at hemming since I am 5’2″! Lol
Ashley says
Sew Me!
I’ve always wanted to learn to sew.
Amy says
SEW ME!! I’m probably a two maybe. It’s been a LONG time since I used a sewing machine, but I have made a couple pillows and such in the past. I’ve really been wanting one lately to slightly alter clothes (nothing ever fits me) and make some fun things.
Diana says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3. I’m great with straight lines (you can do a lot with straight lines!) but once you get into folding or zippers or patterns I get confused.
Rotem says
SEW ME!!
I think right now I would make a solid 1, but an aspiring 4?
Jamie says
SEW ME!
I think I rank at a nice 5: I’ve made bags, simple crib quilts, and aprons fairly easily, but I’m working on a full-size quilt right now and I’m seriously considering retiring from them. I need a new machine badly since mine is a cheapy I bought in a pinch when my vintage machine died on me.
Chad L says
SEW ME!!
I’m about a 3. I have made many pillows, slipcovered a sofa, and made curtains on my own, but I’m completely self taught.
Paige H says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2… but have high aspirations to improve!
Christina says
SEW ME! I’d probably be a 2…but I’d love to learn to sew as well as my grandmother, who is definitely a 10!
Morgan says
I am terrible with a machine, but hand sewing I am pretty good.
“SEW ME!”
Monica says
SEW ME!!!! I would say I’m a 4, I can do anything with a straight or simple round corner!
Louise says
SEW Me..
I saw my mom used sewing machine when I was little. but never get to learn from her. Now we are living in two different world, its harder to learn now. I always want to do some handmade gift with sew machine. Maybe this can be my dream comes true..
Christie C says
SEW ME! I’m currently about a 2 on the scale. I have an ooold high school home economics sewing machine from the 1970’s that my mother-in-law gave me, and the only thing I’ve ever successfully sewed on it are a handful of cornhole bean bags.
Moana says
“SEW ME!” I am a self proclaimed 3! but I love to make my own stuff even if it doesn’t turn out perfectly!
xoxo Moana

SEW ME!
My wife is a 1 and wants to learn more about sewing!

SEW ME! I’m about a 5. I have improved a lot but I’m trying to keep practicing to rationalize the purchase of a nicer sewing machine.
Julia says
SEW ME!!!
I am okkkkkayyy at sewing (4?). I took sewing in grade 11 (aaaagggges ago!) but at the time made a Christmas stocking, pants and a skirt. Now I need to learn how to make functional roman shades!
Jessica says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 4, I can make some gifts/repairs by sewing machine, but there’s many hours & swearing/crying involved.
Katharine says
SEW ME! I’m a zero. I don’t even know how to turn the thing on, but I’ve been wanting to learn.
Liana H says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 0 with a sewing machine – but I can crochet! That means I can learn, right?
Jenny says
Sew me. I’d say I’m about a 2 but want to work my way up to a 10!!!
Emily R says
Sew Me! I want to learn…I really do! =)
Angie says
SEW ME! I am a solid 2. I have my grandma’s Singer sewing machine, but not her ability! A newer, more approachable machine might be just what I need.
Amber Timm says
Sew Me!!
I love to sew and I probably give myself a 4 or 5. I still have a lot to learn, but I love trying!
Shelley @ Green Eggs and Hamlet says
SEW ME! I’d rate myself a 3 – I can do really basic stuff but beyond that am lost.
