***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…

Kathleen says
Sew me!! I’m definitely a 1 and regret not paying more attention during Home Ec and when my grandmother tried to teach me to sew.
Janice says
“SEW ME!”
Oh my gosh,I’d probably sew my fingers together! I have been begging my mother to teach me to sew! This would be AWESOME! :)
kaia says
SEW ME!
I think I am probably a 3- I once made comfy pants (twice) and a quilt back when I was in high school. They turned out looking like they were supposed to :) My mom loves to sew and this would be a great gift to her as well.
lauren says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2 – I think I could make a super wonky, questionably functional bag.
Rebecca says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4. I would like to get going with sewing again – I used to do it growing up and it was very satisfying.
Marilyn C. Cole says
SEW ME! I’m up to maybe a 6 — I made a couple of articles of clothing in my life, a skirt when I was pretty young, a pair of plaid pants in high school, a Mad Men-inspired dress a couple years ago, but I have always used a pattern and it’s always a little hairy on things like zippers!
Amy says
SEW ME!
This is so cool. I’ve been thinking about getting a sewing machine so this would be awesome! I’m definitely a one when it comes to sewing but I’m hoping to improve on that during the next year.
andrea says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 6, I’m working on some simple quilts right now!
Joy says
SEW ME: I have been sewing all my life but I still stick to pretty basic projects. I hate zippers !!! Still would love a new machine !!
Ashley says
SEW ME!! I would say I’m about a 1 but I want nothing more than to be a 10!! I have dreams about sewing!
Sheena says
Sew Me!
Similarly to Sherry, I can fake it. I’m handy with a need and thready by hand, but I haven’t touched a sewing machine. I would love one so I can tackle the bigger projects with it!
Susan says
SEW ME! I’m probably a four.
Beth says
SEW ME!
Is it possible to be in the negatives? I would say I’m a 1, I have tried but I never really had the time. I just find myself really drawn to projects that involve me sewing here recently so it would be fun to learn!
Jessica Altman says
“SEW ME!”
i am a 1 all the way!
Allison says
Sew me! I would probably be a 1, but dream of being better.
Nupur says
SEW ME!! I’m a 3 like Sherry- I’m a pro at sewing straight lines ;) but have yet to attempt anything more complicated.
Tracy says
I’m a solid 5, but I’d really like to be an 8. You know, so I can make cute things I like, but not so good that people want me to make stuff for them out of necessity.
I know how to use a sewing machine once it’s set up – the setup always takes me longer than I’d like, but “automatic needle threader” sounds like this machine is for me!
Kari Sauber says
SEW ME! I am probably a 4 on the sewing scale. I can make small things like bags and pillow cases, but anything more complicated is kinda out of my realm until I get a sewing machine to play with!
Emily says
Sew me!
I am probably a 5 on my mom’s 30+ year old Singer but by 6 year old daughter is quickly surpassing me on her 1 year old Hello Kitty edition Janome :) I would love a machine from this millennium!
Kaitlin says
SEW ME! Sadly, I’m a 1. I’d love the chance to progress!
lauren says
But that’s why I need this – to get better! To make a fully functional wonky bag! lol
fawn says
SEW ME! Maybe a 3, which is pitiful since my mother was a professional seamstress.
Leah says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m around a 4. I took a lot of sewing projects in 4-H growing up, which made me quite familiar with the seam ripper! If I actually wanted to take the time and patience to sew something specifically, I could probably handle it.
Emily says
SEW ME!
Im like maybe a 6 or 7 depending on what Im making and how much help I have. Gotta love youtube videos for all the help and (false?) confidence they offer!
erika says
sew me! I’m probably a 0.5…and at less than 5 feet tall, I need to alter pretty much any item of clothing I buy. My own sewing machine would save me big bucks on alterations!
Jess says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 for sure!
Amanda says
SEW ME!!!
i land firmly in the beginner sewing category, but i have a sewing machine on my christmas list for this year… this would be perfect!
Christine S. says
SEW ME! My level is probably a 7, thanks to some college level clothing construction classes. A good sewing machine does make all the difference in the world. I have spent way too much time and frustration fighting against a bad machine!
Emily-Jane @ Not A House, But A Home says
SEW ME!
I’d put myself around a 5 – right in the middle :P
Samantha Brown says
SEW ME!
DYING for a sewing machine to learn on. It’s on my Christmas list, but I’m a total novice.
Sarah B says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1-2 and haven’t done much with a sewing machine since middle school home-ec class… But I would love to learn; I know it would help immensely with DIY projects!
Kristin Lynn Connor says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 1…. I haven’t sewn since high school for home etc class. :)
Tejal says
Sew Me!
Maybe a 2? I’ve hemmed a few pants being the shortie that I am. But it’s seriously a life goal to learn how to sew.
Melissa R says
SEW ME!! Oh my gosh! I had just been talking about getting a sewing machine. Dang you Pinterest. But I’m probably a 1. I’ve made some purse-bag things before and they turned out ok, but that’s about it.
Jen W says
SEW ME!!
Erin says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1, definitely. I used my college roommate’s sewing machine once in an attempt to make a fleece blanket. I’d love to learn more!
Sylvia D says
SEW ME!!!!
I consider myself about a 5+. I can make just about anything and have been sewing for over 40 years (I started very young). I would love nothing more than a new sewing machine since the one I’m currently using (a Singer also)is about 20+ years old.
Deanna says
SEW ME! I am about a 4 or 5 – I haven’t sewed in years, but I think I could pick it up again well enough to stumble my way through some simple projects!
Shayna says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 – I can sew a button back on but that’s about it.
Ellen says
SEW ME! I always have elaborate plans of things to sew but can’t start on them until I’m at my mom’s house! (I’m 27) I could do more in less time with this Singer. :)
Lindsay says
SEW ME! Zero sewing skills to speak of, but I’ve been wanting to learn for awhile now!
LKG says
SEW ME! I am a zero but want to learn.
Mary says
SEW ME!
My son just asked me to sew the ear back onto his pillow pet and it was a major fail. I rate myself a 1 and could definitely use this machine to help!!!
Melody Benschoter says
SEW ME! I might be a 6? I don’t enjoy making clothes but am confident making curtains or pillows or other decor type items. What a great giveaway!
Aubrey says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3 – I made a pillow in 6th grade. That’s about it. But I just saw a scarf pattern online today and was thinking about how I’d love to (re)learn – so perfect timing!
Sarah K. says
Sew me! Using my Mom’s sewing machine when I’m at her house is like riding a bike, 3 broken needles later I’m we’re sewing up a storm! With some patience and guidance, I can get ‘er done.
Natasha says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5 or so. I just recently made a couple baby quilts and a Christmas tree skirt, currently working on a couple Christmas table runners. I bought my current machine used and there’s nothing automatic about it…so this would be an awesome win!
Cynthia says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 1. I have figured out how to hand sew some pillows and curtains, but I’m tired of stabbing myself with the needle!
Debbie says
SEW ME! I’m about a 2, and getting better with practice!
Saleha says
Sew me!
And a 2…:(
