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.

    SEW ME! Thanks!
    I’m a 1, but my mom was a seamstress for 13 years while she was out of the workplace raising kids. I never took an interest in learning to sew from her and in high school I never wanted to “waste” an elective on home ec. Actually, I was afraid of ruining my GPA for being a lousy sew-er. It’s something I’ll regret, like never learning real cajun french from my grandmother.

    Okay, seriously….this giveaway just made me sit up and beg like a puppy! I didn’t bark, because you know, that would be weird. But wow do I need a new sewing machine! I would rank myself a 5 on my current 1960’s Bernina, but this Singer could easily fake me right into a solid 7!

    I’m a beginner, but I can do some basic sewing. Nothing elaborate, and there’s a lot of cajoling, pleading, and arguing with the sewing machine, but it’s not bad!

    I am a complete sewing idiot. Last time I touched a sewing machine was in 7th grade Home Ec class. I couldn’t sew a straight line, and I’ve been scared to touch one ever since. But I’ve become so crafty and DIY in my old age in other areas, I would love to get a chance to try again. This baby sounds like just what I need!

    Sew ME! (Please! Mustn’t forget our manners, right?)

    I definitely fall in the 0-1 category. I can thread a needle and pop a button back on a shirt like a champ, but only because it is a simple matter of jamming the needle through the hole until it feels secure. I have a whole box of clothes with seams and holes that need some TLC, so the “easiest” machine sounds right up my alley!

    Sew me!!! I would give myself maaaaaaaaaaaybe a 4… I can conquer the square but moving beyond that (button holes, zippers) I am a lost puppy. This would be an awesome upgrade from the “Fashion Mate” singer I am currently rocking-it’s from 1982, at least.
