***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…

SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2-3. I used to do okay. In junior high, I sewed a pretty cool denim skirt. The home ec teacher asked to keep it a while and use it in the display case. After that, I never got it back. She always had some excuse including saying “it was lost”. I wasn’t happy but did believe it UNTIL THE DAY SHE SHOWED UP AT SCHOOL WEARING MY SKIRT!!!
Now, I haven’t done any sewing for years. I do dream of learning again, though!
Lauren says
See me! I’m a definite 1.
Rachel says
SEW ME!
I might be a zero if that is possible!
Crystal S says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 or 3 on my 1940s sewing machine, I’d probably be a 4 or 5 on this baby! Thanks!
Meredith says
SEW ME! I’m for sure a 1, but I hope to one day be at least a 5! :)
Heather says
SEW ME!
between 0-1. I could probably sew my way out of a bag but it will have to be with a simple needle and thread and lots of time.
Renee says
SEW ME!!
I would say 3 but wanting to learn more!
Cailin Sweet says
SEW ME!
2: kinda wonky hems, and that’s it!
Bryanna says
SEW ME! I’m about a 2…. I need this machine to help me!
Kirsten says
Sew Me! Unless you want me to sew some sequins on something I am definitely a 1.
Jennifer says
SEW ME! I can’t sew very well, maybe a 2?
anne says
SEW ME
I’m a one & very excited about reliving my 7th grade home ec days. A Singer sewing machine is actually the only thing on my Xmas list!
Hopefully I’ll win & make my husband a lucky man this Xmas season = no shopping for wifey :)
Emily says
SEW ME!
I’d consider myself to be 4.5. Currently using my mom’s sewing machine from the mid-70s! Pick me!!!!
Ashley says
Sew me!
I’m somewhere between a four and a six depending on my attention span on any given project. I think I have crafting ADD. My most ambitious project was a corset-like costume pirate shirt from a Simplicity pattern, which turned out okay until the cat chewed the lace off.
kendra says
Sew me!!! I would say that I’m probably a10!
Julie F says
SEW ME!
I’d rate myself about a 6
Bonnie says
Sew me!!
I’m maybe a 6. I sewed a lot in high school and would like to do more of it.
Stephanie H says
SEW ME!!!
I fall somewhere in the middle. I can sew clothing for myself, but nothing with too complicated tailoring.
Kelly says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 for sure. I do have a board on Pinterest of things I would like to make if I could sew so this would be a great way to start:).
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’m a 0 but would love to learn!
Katie says
SEW ME! Great giveaway! I would love to be able to sew some pillows and curtains.
Gail says
SEW ME!
Probably a 1. I sewed a few things in High School, like a pillow, but Im not sure I’d know where to begin now. Although I’d love to try!!
Angela says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 5. I can read a pattern make simple clothing and home projects.
MegW says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4 or 5.
Rebecca @This Nest is Best says
SEW ME! I’m guess I’m probably a 3 or 4? I can re-sew a hem or a button and could probably manage something simple on a sewing machine, but I would really love to get to a 6+
Gabie says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably a 2. I used to be a 3 or 4 but haven’t used a machine in years!
Kathy says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 0, but I’d love to learn!
Adrienne B says
SEW ME!! Um, maybe a 2, but that is because I STILL can’t get the darn bobbin to wind properly. Actually, if I win this, my husband will get more use out of it- he’s way better than I am!
Julie Grogan says
Sew Me. I have been sewing for over 50 years (yes, I’m THAT old and read your blog – daughter got me into it!) I initially made clothes for my dolls, for myself, then others. Then I got into sewing for the home and even have made lots of slipcovers, etc. I am currently still sewing on two old Kenmores (one is 44 years old and the other is even older) and still have my very first toy Singer and my mother’s really old Featherweight. I’ve looked at new machines but can never take the plunge to buy a new one since I have been able to do most of what I have needed to do on these. However, now that I have a granddaughter, I think I need to begin trying some new things and would love to experiment with all of these built-in stitches, etc. I would rate my former ability at a 10 but with my fingers getting arthritic and eyesight getting worse, I may be more in an 8-9 range.
Allison says
SEW ME!
I am a 6 in the hand sewing… and a 0 with a machine. But I would love to learn!!
Jennifer says
SEW ME!!
I’ve never used a sewing machine, so that would be a 1, but I’m probably 4 or 5 with hand sewing.
alison says
SEW ME! I would rank myself a 6. I need more practice with the actual machine, but I’m competant enough with fabric and thread to design everything I make myself. This machine would be awesome!
Jennifer F. says
SEW ME! I’m a zero if that’s possible. Never sewed before, but I’d try to make some curtains if I win this!
Katie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 6 or 7 because my mom taught me, but I could sure use a fancy new sewing machine like this one!
Stefani says
SEW ME!! I’ll have to go with a 2, though it’s probably more like a 1.5 on most days. I think if I had the speed of a sewing machine, I’d be much more likely to attack projects that require sewing. BY hand is just too slow and tedious for me to make much of an effort.
Marie B says
SEW ME!
Can we go into negative numbers? I’m probably -1, but would LOVE to learn to be a 2! (I’m not aiming high, just for some level of profiency!)
dino says
Sew me, I am a 1 but I would love to learn
Katherine Hendricks says
SEW ME! I am a level 1, but have a desire to learn:)
pri says
SEW ME!
I’m somewhere around 2.
Debbie says
SEW ME!
The blindfolding comes after I’ve sewn, so you can’t see the mistakes. I need the practice with my own machine!
Laura says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, but looking forward to becoming at least a … 4 someday. :)
Jennifer Jill Araya says
Sew Me!
I’m probably an 8 or 9 on the sewing scale. I make my living partially from selling sewn items (mostly quilted tablet covers) on Etsy, which might make you think I have absolutely no need of a new sewing machine, as I already have several professional-quality sewing machines in my studio. However, I love having friends over for sewing and craft nights, and having extra machines around (especially easy-to-use machines, for my normally non-crafty friends) makes these sewing nights so much more fun!
Maya says
Sew me!
I’m about a 3…
Lilia W. says
Sew me!
And I’m probably an 8 or 9. I grew up sewing thanks to my mother who is a seamstress and now I am a tailor as a side job. There is always more to learn, that’s why I love sewing so much!
Crystal Strachan says
SEW ME!
If you’re a 1 and Sherry’s a 3 then I’ll put myself at a 2 on the sewing skills scale. I’ve got a lot of ideas though and would love to have a machine to upgrade my skills!
Lindsay says
SEW ME! Amazing! I’ve just started sewing but I jumped right into dresses and coats! I just finished my second dress tonight. I DON’T own a sewing machine though. I’ve been taking classes and use the sewing machines there. Would love to have my own!
Kyla A says
SEW ME! I need practice! I’m a 0. But I would love to be a 10.
katherine adcock says
sew me… yo
i guess 5 tops.
i could make basic curtains, napkins and pillow shams,
but dont push it. i feel like a domestic diva already with my mitered corners.
sara says
SEW ME!
My skill would probably be between 1-2, still learning! :)
Kiley Louis says
SEW ME!!!
I’ll go ahead and say a 0..but i’m a quick learner so who knows. I’m just dying to make pillow covers and poufs!
