***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…

Katie Baxter says
SEW ME! I would say I am a 3 because I do not like patterns, but I can make a mean dog sweater! Ha!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!!! How about a negative number? Like maybe a -5. But I have always wanted to learn!
Karen H says
SEW ME!
I’m a four – staight line projects (pillows, curtains, etc) and Halloween costumes are the limit of my skills, although my duaghter is begging for a cape!
Angie says
SEW ME! My skills are a 1- if I could figure out how to sew a bag, it’s likely a piece of whatever clothing I’m wearing at the time would end up attached to it. :/
But I want to learn!!! :)
Dana says
“SEW ME!” (please)… I’d say I’m a 5. I haven’t sewn in a while so hopefully this would bring me right back up to speed.
Rosario says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3, i guess… still i have to fight hours to get one thing done…
I’m from Mexico, by the way…:D
I love you, guys!
Maggie says
SEW ME! Prob a 3. I’ve made a pillow, but was definitely not something that I would give to anyone.
Jill says
SEW ME!!!
I’m probably a 6, A 7 or 8 if my mom is helping me! She taught me how to sew and quilt when I was about 7, but still need help on putting my bindings on my quilts :)
amy says
SEW ME! I’d rate myself at about a 5 or 6. I’ve been sewing since I was a toddler. i made most of my school dance dresses in high school. the machine i’ve always used is my mom’s 1963 singer stylist, which sits in it’s own cabinet. i’m about to sand and paint the cabinet white…the wood laminate has definitely seen better days after almost fifty years, and i’m hoping it will last me at least fifty more. i won’t give it up as easily as my mom…my future children will have to pry it from my cold dead hands if they have an interest in it. still, having a modern machine would come in handy in so many ways, and it being a singer would just be the icing on the cake. =]
melissa says
SEW ME!
I am a 1, definitely a 1. However I would give this to my mom because she has been talking about getting a sewing machine and she definitely deserves it.
Libby says
SEW ME! Great give-away – I’m probably around a 6. I know my way around a sewing machine and pattern, but would love to spend more time making things for my granddaughters.
Vicente says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 5. What keeps me from being a 7 is my fear of zippers!!!!
Marnie says
Sew Me!
Maybe I’m a 4? I’m sure I would improve with a machine like that!
Kristin says
Sew me! Hello from Canada, eh. Sorry that I missed your recent visit to toronto :). I think my sewing skills r somewhere between 1 and 2. Keeping my fingers crossed… Thanks to you both and your sponsor.
Sara says
Sew me!!! I’m probably a two….with more practice, I would be better….but the only thing sewn recently are some basic bathroom curtains.
Regina says
SEW ME! I’m a 7 or an 8. I could make a bag and it might even be nice, but it would take awhile.
Christie says
SEW ME! A 1 or a 0, but I would love to learn!
Jesette says
SEW ME!!!! I’m definitely a 0! I have never used a sewing machine but this is really exciting because I’ve been wanting to learn for the longest time now!! Please pick me!!! haha
Jess B says
Sew Me! I’m probably right around a 3. Though it might take me a while to remember how to thread the thing… it’s been a while.
shells says
SEW ME!! I gotta say that I’m not too bad. Sewing since 6 years old, but my awesome 40 year old beast (inherited from my mum) didn’t survive my well packed luggage during my migration to the US…I’d LOVE to replace her with something decent!
Jill Overholt says
“Sew Me” I consider myself to be a 7-8 in sewing skills. have made sewn drapes, clothes, costumes and quilts on sewing machine.
Jennifer Earle says
Sew ME!!!! I am probably about a 6, but I could be a 10 with a machine like that. This is a major want on my Christmas list, here’s hoping :)
Hannah O'Connell says
SEW ME! I would say I’m probably a 6 or a 7. I took a sewing class in high school, and actually managed to sew a shower curtain and roman shade for my mother once!
Carrie says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 2, but it’s been a while, even for that high a rating. But I am eager to improve, and there’s no better place to start than having my own machine!
Suz says
SEW ME!
I’d give myself a big fat zero! But someday I hope to be at least a 6-7!
Kris says
Sew me! I’m a three, but in my dreams I’m a 10.
Melissa Alas says
“SEW ME”
I would love to be a “10”, but alas, I am a mere “1”-but here’s to learning new things!! :)
Sarah M says
SEW ME! I’d guess myself to be a 6 on my very basic machine, but I’m ready to learn more!
Kristen says
SEW ME!
Brittany says
SEW ME! I would love to be 5…someday!
Alivia says
SEW ME PUH-LEEAASSE!!!!
I’ve been sewing since I had my first baby girl 3 years ago. I would rate myself a 3 (I graduate each year) and have even sewn a bag without a pattern! I could definitely whip up a homemade cover for my copy of y’alls book – nudge, nudge, eh? Anyway, hopefully the random-number gods will hear my plea…SEW ME PLEASE!!
Carissa says
SEW ME!
I’m flittering between a 2.5 and a 3 with high hopes…
Danielle says
SEW ME! Sewing was a required skill to know growing up with my mom which puts me at about a 5-6. Now if only the children and husband didn’t want to eat every day, I’m sure I would actually get more sewing done. :) Oh well, I’ll keep ’em.
Shana says
SEW ME! I am an intermediate sewer, I have made pillow covers and a wedding veil for a friend, I want to get better and this machine would definitely help!
Jen says
SEW ME! I am a 4. I love experimenting and would be so excited to try something with so many options!
Emelia says
Sew me! I’m a two
Melissa says
SEW ME! I’ll give myself a 5, based on what I learned making costumes for my daughter, before she became “too cool.”
Joanna Morgan says
SEW ME! I’m with Sherry – I’m about a 3, but I’ve been hitting up Pinterest in my spare time to advance my skills!
Kara says
Sew me! I’d self-assess at a 2, who aspires to be a 4 or 5. My biggest accomplishment so far is sewing (with some help loading the bobbin, etc) my shower curtain.
Kate says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, for sure! I still bring things back to my mom to be mended. I want to learn though; it’s on the bucket list.
Britt says
SEW ME!
I’d rate myself at about a 7. I’m definitely ahead of the curve but I’m not great. I sew my own period clothing for medieval reenactments so I do a lot of pattern drafting and that sort of thing. Sewing’s definitely more fun with a nice machine and a bottle of rum.
Louise in NE OK says
SEW ME!!!
I think that my skills would put me at a 6, but a new machine would make me want to strive to reach a much higher score!
Sierra says
SEW ME!!!
I’d say I’m about a 2…on a good day. My sewing machine is older than me – by a lot. :)
Monishikha says
SEW ME!
Hi Sherry and John, Im a long time lurker from India, love your blog!
I’d say Im a 5, can make kurtas(Indian style shirts) from scratch!
stacy says
SEW ME! I’m lucky if I round up to a 1. I’ve always wanted to learn, just haven’t had a great opportunity so far.
Jennifer says
SEW ME! I’m a total one, but would love to learn.
Angela says
SEW ME!
I’m like a four… accuracy isn’t my forte but I’ve got quite a few different projects under my belt.
Kim S. says
Sew Me! I am probably a self taught 3. I try and try until I can figure it out. Pinterest is also helpful with my sewing skills.
Doris Johnson says
SEW ME! I’m probably…. a 2. :) Although I’d love to get better!
Ashley S. says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 4 or 5. I can sew what I want or need to, but I’m far from a good sewer. I’d love to be a solid 8 ;)
