***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…

Alissa says
SEW ME!
In my mind I’m a 7 (and I might get there if I had the time), but judging by my body of work it’s more like a 4.
Meera Modi says
Sew me! Want to win this so so so so so so bad. Desperation is lucky right. I am a 1 maybe a 2 but in my dreams I am a 10. 10 sewn in adorably patterned 1 and 0 pillows. Sigh.
Elise says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 2 maybe. I can mostly do anything that only involves straight lines.
Stacy King says
SEW ME!!! I am a most definitely a “0” considering I have never sewn anything but I am dying to learn!!!
Jenny says
Sew me!
Definitely a 1 but hopeful to someday be at least a 3
Luke says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 no question.
Heather D. says
Sew Me! I am probably a 3. I definitely need a new one. I have been borrowing one to make new drapes because my 3 year old hid the power cord to my old one and it has been missing for months. Im starting to think he threw it away.
Anastasia says
Sew me! I am about a 3 but really want to learn!
Judy says
SEW ME!!! I’d rank about a 7, but am let down mostly by a failure to actually do anything! I’m sure an inspiring machine like this would help….
janet says
sew me! I’ve only used a sewing machine once in my life…
Jean says
SEW ME!”
Iam a 4.
margo says
SEW ME!
I think I am about a 5 on the skills. I enjoy doing simple quick projects. Would love to win this!
sarah says
SEW ME! I’m a 0, as it’s been about 23 years since I’ve touched a machine! I have good memories of sewing with my grandma, however, and have had an itch lately to dig in!
Harley says
I’m a 2 I think.
Carolyn says
Sew me!
About a 1.5 but I have always wanted to learn!
Mary says
Sew me!
I’m a solid 5. I can make simple things from scratch an follow a pattern for more difficult things.
Molly says
Sew me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m a 4-5 and see endless possibilities with that rockin’ little sewing machine! Happy Holidays!
Helena says
Sew me!
I’m not registered on this scale yet- I can’t even sew on a button. But I am looking forward to learnng, I have proclaimed this my (cue trumpets, please!) “Year of Domesticity”. Also, there’s a lot of buttons around here…
Wrenaria says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 6ish?
Beata says
SEW ME! I have sewn in the past, however the only item I have made was a pillow cover. I would like to try and make a dress, but I would definitely need to use a pattern for that. So I would say my skills are between a 1 and 2, nowhere near the pro 3 level.
Jennie says
Sew Me!
I’d saw I’m a nice even 5. I’ve been practicing on fun projects for my nieces, nephews and baby boy for the past 2 1/2 years or so. Pillowcases, advent calendars and a quilt. Would love to have a bit nicer of a machine to work on my projects.
Christine says
SEW ME! I think I’d be a 2 or 3. Trying to improve though!
Fiona says
SEW ME
I am probably an 8 kind of sewer. But I am a very frustrated ‘8’ sewer. I have 4 young children, a busy part-time job and I have been studying this year so (sew) for me I look at lovely blogs to feed my creative spirit!!! I often say I sew by proxy (by looking at sewing blogs!!!)!!!!! Maybe, just maybe if I won this cute Sewing Machine I might start sewing again – I definitely want to pass on this fantastic skill to my girls!!!
By the way love reading your blog!!!
Jessica Hess says
I’d like to “Sew Me” a new kitchen window curtain. I’m about a 5 or a 6. I can do it, but it isn’t perfect. I aspire to be better at it.
Jessica says
SEW ME!!!
I’m probably a 3. I could make things, but they wouldn’t be nice.
Laurie says
SEW ME! I’m a 4 I think. Used to sew a lot, but it’s been years since, but am eager to get back to that skill!
Tara H says
SEW ME!
I am a solid 5. My husband oddly is a 9 1/2! ha My kids call him a seamster.
Danielle says
SEW ME!
I think I am with Sherry on this one… about a 3!
Julie says
SEW ME!
I’m around a 1 since I don’t have a sewing machine, but I’d love to get better at it so this would be perfect!
Haley says
SEW ME….PA PA PLEASE!!!
I’m a 1…aspiring to be a solid 6 or 7. I’m dying to finally tackle my goal of learning to sew. I want to make everything from some unique curtains to a cute dress (or even a sexy négligée). That’s right I said it. I want to sew my own négligée.
Danelle says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1, but strive to be a 3!
Rachelle says
SEW ME
I’m probably a 5 or 6 curtains and stuff like that are easy and I can sew clothes but nothing overly complicated
Liz says
SEW ME!
I think I’m about a 4 or a 5. I learned on my mom’s Bernina and own an Elna that is at least twice my age…I’d love a newer machine to play with :D I’ve been looking at getting a Brother, but this looks and sounds like a nice machine :D
Valerie Quinn says
Sew me!
I am maybe a 2?? I sewed some crappy curtains for the family I used to live with, but feel I could get better with a lesson or two!!
Crystal says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 1.5, I’ve put together a few halloween costumes, and used a few bleep-worthy words while doing so.
Lois says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 7 – I used to sew a lot, and would like to get back into it again.
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’ve sewn a few pillow cases and a Halloween costume(an M&M)in my day…I’d say I’m a 3. :)
Katherine says
SEW ME! I think I’m around a 4. I took a sewing class and feel comfortable with the basics, but I’m nervous about taking on a big project!
Donna says
SEW ME!
I would rate myself a 5 or 6.
Aubrey says
SEW ME!- For sure, without a doubt I’m a 1. BUT I’m constantly learning and made my first kitty bed. Onwards and upwards, right?!
Dixie says
SEW ME! I might be an 8– I sewed my wedding dress and custom slipcover my furniture. There are many things I can’t do– I am in awe of seamstresses who make christening gowns. Wow.
Sarah Caldwell says
Sew Me! I’m probably a 4 or 5. I’ve made my little girl a few pairs of paints (lots of ruffles!) and I recently made myself a shirt. For the amount of work it took I feel like I need to wear it everyday….
Frances says
SEW ME THE SINGER!!!
I’m a 1! My current hand-me-down sewing machine is not user friendly so not only am I still a beginner, but I have ruined so many clothes! >_< This easiest-to-use singer would be the answer to my sewing woes!
Sarah says
SEW ME from a 1 to the 10 I long to be!
Erin says
My gut reaction is that I’m a 5. But then I read your definition of a 10, and well, I wasn’t blindfolded, but I did make my own bag from scratch! It was a bag that could be used as a purse or unzip a zipper and it would expand into a diaper bag. So, maybe I’m an 8 or 9?
Erin says
Oops! I hit enter too soon! Sew me!!!
Catherine says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2. Unable to do much more than sew a straight line, but great tools make for better sewers!
Leigha says
SEW ME!
I would rate myself about a 2. I haven’t sewn anything for quite a while, but I think I could manage if I took things slowly! :)
Laurel says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 6 or so. I love to sew and try new projects. I think the most complicated thing I’ve made is a duvet cover with matching shams for a friend’s wedding. I really really really hope to win that sweet lookin’ machine. She is fine!
Stephany says
Sew me! Hoping to be a 1 ;)
Sarah says
SEW ME! Eh, I’m probably a 2, with aspirations to be a 10!
