***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…

Carrie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3. I’ve become a master of the envelope pillow case and even made a simple quilt/blanket for my friend’s new baby!
Lu says
SEW ME!
I would rank myself a .3. I can barely get the buttons on, but this makes me excited to learn more!
Claire P. says
Sew me! Definitely a 1 – but I am sure having a sewing machine would help me learn!
Zuzka says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 4 or 5, I always wish my finished products were less wonky!
Stacy says
SEW ME!!
Probably a 1. I’ve always wanted to learn because the creative possibilities are endless!
Steph says
Sew me! I took home ec in middle school, but I haven’t touched a sewing machine since. Maybe it is like riding a bike? I would probably be about a 3.
Lizz says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m somewhere around a 4…but working my way up!
Claire says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a six or seven, using my granny’s very faithful old singer but I would love a new machine!
Emma B. says
SEW ME! I am probably more like Sherry… I just sewed Christmas stockings this year as gifts for family. They are decent. Would someone pay money for them? Probably not.
Erin H. says
Sew Me!
probably around a 5. My mom taught me when I was young, but lately I’m more of a hem-tape girl (thanks to Sherry!)
Erin says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 with hopes of some day becoming a 10. :)
Emily Haase says
SEW ME! I would rank as a 3.14, but only because I really enjoy pie.
becca says
sew me. maybe a 4?
Katy M says
SEW ME!!!
I think I may be a two, if a two is someone who has sewn something….
tracy says
Definitely a 1, but I’ve been dying to teach myself how to! I can’t handle the thought of buying pillows when I know I could make it myself! Just more satisfaction in knowing I did it on my own :)
Leslie says
SEW ME!
About a 3…haven’t sewn anything in a long time because I’ve never had a place to leave the sewing machine and project out. Now I do!
Steven House says
SEW ME!
I am an absolute ZERO! But I have been aching to learn how so I can sew my own curtains, if only I had a fancy machine!
Alicia M says
SEW ME!
I’d put myself at a 5. Pretty average, middle-of-the-road talent. Can do about anything with a sewing machine, but the quality of that work varies from project to project! I’d like to blame my 70s Kenmore sewing machine, but there’s also lots for me to learn!
Rosemary says
Sew me!
I’d give myself a generous 2. I can thread the bobbin and sew a semi-straight line. Usually ambition > outcomes, unfortunately.
Lauren says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, haha.
Lauren says
Sew me! I’m an aspiring 10, but an actual 2. Maybe 3 on a good day.
Meagan says
SEW ME! I’d like to think Im at least a 6 but a 3 1/2 or 4 is probably more accurate.
Caitlin says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1, maybe a 0, but have recently become very interested in sewing. I woul love to sew my own pillows & curtains
Alyssa says
Sew me!
A 4? Maybe 5? I’ve really only sewn curtains. BUT I’M REALLY GOOD AT IT. haha.
Sarah says
Sew me!
I’m a 6 or 7 and a new machine would bump me to the 8 :-)
Jolene says
Sew Me!!
I would give myself a 6 or so. My mom was a professional seamstress for years and years. she taught me a lot, but it also made it easy to say “Hey mom, this is hard. Can you fix it?” and not learn the hards stuff…
tina says
SEW ME!
I’m a 5!
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1.
Melissa says
SEW ME! Is there a 0? Because I am it.
Rose says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 2? I had lessons when I was in Elementary school, but that’s the extent of my experience.
Ashley says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2.
Jennifer says
I’m about an 8 and learning! I had 2 machines that were destroyed in a flood last christmas and I replaced it with 1 machine – that is pretty tired! I’ve made about 10 quilts since January and have 5 more to do before February!!! A new ‘userfriendly’ machine would be great!!!
Erin R. says
Sew Me!
I’ve never used a sewing machine in my life, but I’m going to be kind and give myself a 2 out of 10 because of my semi-non-disastrous ability to sew on a button. I can’t vouch that I do it correctly, but that sucker is not falling off again!
Lynn says
Sew Me!
I’m a 0. :( I have my great grandmothers Singer and can’t do a thing with it because it’s old timey and scary.
Cheryl says
SEW ME!!!
I’m probably about a three. Sewing clothing is quite beyond me, but simple stuff for the home is usually do-able.
amber peters says
SEW ME! I can hack my way through plain, un-fancy curtain panels, but that is about it! My daughter keeps saying she wants to learn to sew though! Would be a fun mother/daughter activity!
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a 0.5, but I’ve been wanting to get a machine and learn!
Emily says
SEW ME! I’m about at two by hand, and a negative two on a machine, but I’d love to learn more!
kristin says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 4? I have made curtains, pillows, garment bags, but nothing fancy like clothing. I can do straight lines only.!
Kirkley says
SEW ME!
I’d rank myself somewhere near the 5 or 6. I enjoy doing anything that I don’t have to be perfect with. I would love to get better though!
Shakila says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 5, maybe a 6. My mother made most of my clothes until I was a teenager and her skills rubbed off. I haven’t made much clothing, but I’ve made tons of blankets, pillows, and curtains.
catherine says
Sew Me! I am a 2. Aspiring to be a 5 someday.
Tamara S. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 7.5 out of ten but my machine is so old- I could definitely use an upgrade!
Katie K says
Sew Me!!
Lauren says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 2 or 3. It’s been a while since I’ve sewn anything more than reattaching a button.
Andrea Hunting says
SEW ME!
I’m probaby a 2, but should would like to get better.
Laura says
I would like to “SEW ME” a quilt.
Even though I’d rate myself probably a 2 or a 3 in the sewing department, I haven’t found a quilt both my new husband and I like, so I figure I’ll just make one instead :) (fingers crossed)
Kara says
SEW ME! i can (sometimes) sew up a torn seam by hand but that’s about it! Oh and I just threaded a cranberry garland ;)
Lacey Rail says
SEW ME! Sadly I am just a one. Love the iron on no sew tape!
Sarah W. says
Sew me! Does the wonky bag have to in any way resemble a bag? I’ll get it on my fifth try, assuming I can dig my way out of the first four attempts! I’m persistent, that’s for sure!
