Fab Freebie: Sew Simple

***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?

Singer One Giveaway

  • 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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of SINGER.

    I’m going with an optimistic 4.5 although I’m self taught. I had to figure it out as a dance teacher. I could use power tools to build scenery so I faced the sewing machine when I decided to treat it like I’d treat my miter saw- just another power tool. LOL

    But really- Really, PLEASE SEW ME! :-)I fostering a rescued puppy for a for a few days last week & decided to move my sewing machine around. I went to get the vacuum & the pup stole my power cord. I couldn’t figure it out but finally found it shredded! A replacement cord was as much as my machine cost 15 years ago. I’m so bummed!

    “SEW ME!” I’m a 4 on the scale of sewing. Would love to give myself more time for sewing. I’ve taken quilt classes and made doggie blankets for rescue organization and donated doggie quilt for raffle to rescue organization.

    SEW ME! I am probably a 7/8, thanks to a summer job at a fine arts camp in the Berkshires when I was a fearless 19 year old. They asked if I could sew, to which I replied “yes!” (One 4-H skirt and one high school home ec project) I ended up making all of the costumes for the campers’ plays and even some tutus for the ballets. Great way to learn!

    Sew me! I’m a sewer/quilter. I’ld say I’m a 7+. While I do quite a bit of sewing, I don’t know too much about clothes construction. It’s on my bucket list to learn. I can sew curtains, pillows, and fix kids’stuffed animals! I would love to win this machine!
