***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…

Emily says
SEW ME! I have no experience at all, but wish I did!
Emily S. says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1! Never touched a sewing machine in my life but I’ve always wanted to start!
Amber says
SEW ME!
I consider myself a 2 BUT I did ask Santa for a sewing machine this year along with some classes! I’ve used a sewing machine with assistance from an expert but would love to learn more!
Jessica says
Pick me! I am a 6, I can sew, I can follow a pattern to a degree. Do I have confidence? Absolutly not, do I get to do it often NO :( I don’t have a machine :)
Help a girl out!
Suzie H says
SEW ME! I would rate myself around a 3. I HAVE sewn a wonky bag and wore it proudly! (The strap was a little too long, so I had to knot it, so it wouldn’t hang to my knees. Oops!)
Aliesha says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4. I feel like the sewing gremlins are out to get me every time I sit down to sew, but I usually persevere through knotted threads, broken needles, and wonky seam allowances to come up with somewhat passable. :)
Suni says
SEW ME!!
I am totally a 1..used to be better…but am quite rusty. This would be an amazing upgrade considering I currently sew on a 1952 singer. :)
Julie says
SEW ME!
I was a 1 a few weeks ago but I just completed a project. I’m a 1 or 2 now, it all depends on how this thing holds up.
Jessica Kirkland says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills rank around a one or possibly a zero. That’s why I need this Singer so I can learn how to make some fancy pillow covers I’ve been dreaming about.
Kathy says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 7! I can sew lots of simple stuff and maybe some even medium difficulty stuff, but not with a blindfold. I share Sherry’s passion for a good sewing machine!
logan says
sew me!
I’d say I’m around a 3 – 4. Kind of know the basics, just want an updated sewing machine! I’m using my mom’s old one from like 30 years ago!
Crystal says
SEW ME!
I’ve never used a sewing machine but have been researching them to make some things for my kiddos.
Kathryn W says
Sew me! I’d say I’m a 3.
Rebecca B. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3. I’d have rated higher if I hadn’t been out of high school so long. I took a lot of home ec classes, but it’s been awhile since I’ve used a sewing machine.
Nicole says
SEW ME!! Im probably right there at a 3 also…
Skittle says
SEW ME! I would rate myself a 3 with Sherry. I have actually used a sewing machine before & would like to again but I could use a refresher course & I’m sure my first project (or 10) will take much longer than they need to.
Lucy says
Sew me! I’m probably, maybe, a… 3 or 4? I’m using a Singer Featherweight from the 40s(?), so maybe I would feel a little more confident if I had something easier (see what I did there?).
Lindsey says
SEW ME!!!
I’m a newbie to sewing, so def a 1. Can’t wait for the day that I can try out this new skill.
Kathryn says
SEW ME!! I’d say I’m a 7, I can follow a pattern and make my own, I’d love to learn to drape on a dress form.
Allison says
SEW ME!
I think I’m about a 4.. I can rock curtains & aprons & the like. I aspire to be a 10 though, wouldn’t it be nice to feel like you could make a dress that was actually worth wearing?? ha!
Ashley says
SEW ME!
I am a 0.5 at best…
Rebecca N says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 4, can do great simple projects, but not complicated ones yet!
Sara says
SEW ME! :) I want to go from a 1 to a 3 this year.
Kandra says
SEW ME!
I’d say around a 3. I love coming up with ideas and heading over to my mother in laws to use her sewing machine. Never had a chance to get my own, maybe id become a 4;)
Kelly D says
Sew me! I’m a total newbie, but have been wanting to learn/ start sewing for awhile now!
kate g says
SEW ME! I would rate myself a -5. I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time, but have never gotten around to it!
Rebecca says
Sew me! I’m a 1, but would love to learn!
Amelia says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely with you, John. A solid 1 – possibly a zero (“so bad that I could sew myself into a bag with no way to escape”?). Hence why I’m trying for this one – I would love to have one of these to at least get myself up to a possible 2.
Ruth says
SEW ME!
I have never used a sewing machine before, but it has been on my list of things to learn. I am a definite 1.
RD Shugart says
SEW ME!!!!! The last time I used a sewing machine was in high school but my daughter is very interested in sewing and has hand-sewn skirts, dresses & purses! Maybe she could teach me?
Julie says
SEW ME!
I have barely any sewing machine skills. I do a lot of hand sewing…I have always wanted to learn to use a machine though. I have curtains to make.
Amelia says
SEW ME!!
i’m an eager 1!
I would love to start some sewing projects for my little girl. My grandmother and mother use to sew quite a bit and I remember enjoying the whole process.
Stefanie says
Sew me!
I’m like a 2-ish.
Meghan says
Sew me!
Is there a 0, because I can watch my mom sew, but that’s about it!
Kelli says
SEW ME!
I would probably be a 2, but would love to learn to be a 10!
Stephanie B. says
SEW ME!
I’m gonna jump on the $herdog train and go with a 3: a wonky bag at best (or in my case, some wonky Christmas pillows for the couch!). Which is why this easiest to use machine ever sounds perfect!
Mandy says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 4, I can sew pillows and drapes without much problem… but anything else… I don’t think so.
Stefanie says
SEW ME!
Hmmm…maybe a 4 on a good day. I could use some practice!
Shannon says
SEW ME!
In high school, I took Home Ec and you got extra credit if you wore what you made to school. So, I was maybe a 7 back then. Thank goodness I could make a simple skirt or pair of shorts. Now, I’m probably a 5 since I’m a little rusty!
Rachael says
SEW ME!
I am a three, my biggest project was sewing a crib skirt for my daughters nursery.
Donna says
SEW ME! I am a 3 probably. But I have been thinking about doing more to improve my skills, especially with an 8 month old baby boy who I want to make so many things for!
Lauren Wright says
SEW ME!
I am just starting to get into sewing so I’m probably a 2. I’ve been borrowing my sister’s machine and would love to have one of my own!
Jessica says
SEW ME!
I am a solid (but impatient) 5. Following directions aren’t my strong suit.
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
I wouold say I’m a 2 but only when gradma helps! :)
Brenna says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m about a 6. I sew throw cushion covers on a regular basis, Halloween costumes from scratch each year, and mend/alter a lot of our clothes, but I’m self taught. As far as the fancy skills and technique side go, I could use some more practice! (And a shiny new machine could really help with that.)
Doris says
SEW ME! I think I’m around a 1.25
Kelly McGrath says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1.. or a 0… hoping to change that if we win this!
Tiffany says
Sew me! I would say I’m a 2- I could sew 2 pieces of fabric together but it probably won’t look too good!
Jules says
SEW ME!I am a solid 6!
Hallie says
SEW ME!
I am not a seamstress (is that even the word anymore?) at all, but I have been dying to learn how so that I can be a) more versatile as a DIY’er and b) maybe, just maybe, not spend so much at the tailors!
