***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…

Martha says
Sew me! I’m a serious 1 and I REALLY need to learn to get better because there are soooo many sewing projects I want to do to improve my house!
Christine says
Sew Me!! I was once a great sewer…err seamstress(?).
I don’t know how true that is, but in 7th grade I took a home ec class and made so much great stuff: a teddy bear, pjs, a tie, a bag. But now when I look at a sewing machine I have no idea where to start. Not even with the awesome free one I scored at a yard sale. So Singer One, please come here.
Katie says
Sew Me!
I would say I am a 2. I took sewing when I was in middle school and have wanted to work on my skills, but have not purchased a machine yet.
Trudi says
SEW ME!
I won Grand Champion at the county fair for the outfit I made…about 25 years ago. Have hardly touched a sewing machine since….so perhaps a 6.
Gloria says
SEW ME…..my sewing skills consist of iron-on tape and driving to my mom’s house to have her sew my stuff!!
Ro says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 5 maybe? I mean… I can sew everything for the home (pillows, napkins, curtains, you name it) and even my own clothes, but I still have a loooong way to perfection.
Oh, and I sew it all from Buenos Aires, Argentina! I’m SO happy that this one ships worldwide :)
xo
Cecilia says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2, I think I can manage a (as you so elegantly put it) wonky bag but would probably hurt myself in the process.
Laurel says
SEW ME! I am probably a 2. My grandmother, a seamstress (she still works at 92!), taught me when I was young, but I don’t remember any of it.
Cheryl M says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2.5 – My mom is an amazing sewer and tried to teach me – but I could barely make a wonky bag
sam b says
SEW ME! Wonky is my specialty, so I’m around a 2 or 3. Crooked seam lovers unite!
Sharon says
SEW ME! Maybe I’m a 2.5, But…I could be “sew” much better with the RIGHT machine. I’m thinking of fancy pillow and window treatments, OH MY!
susan bourgeois says
“SEW ME!”
I would be about a 3 on the sewing continuum.
I have done a little sewing and can produce a few recognizable things, but i would love to be able to have my own machine to move up on that continuum!!
Catherine says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 4.5. My mother and my grandmother taught me some things, but I haven’t used a machine in at least 10 years.
Katie says
SEW ME!
I would say a 4 with aspirations to be better than that haha
Jess says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 4 or 5. I’ve made a couple things from patterns but I’m still learning!
Casey says
I am a -5. I get out the sewing kit to put a button back on a shirt and my boyfriend, roommate, and neighbors all come running, saying “Here, let me!”
monica says
SEW ME!!!
I’m at a 0 … but my mom is an amazing seamstress – this would be an awesome chance for her to teach me!
Karen says
SEW ME. I’m a 1. I can sew a button back on a shirt, but that is it.
Jeremy says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1 – but my wife just made the curtains for our house. I’m so (sew?) impressed with her that I am trying to win her this new machine.
Mary K says
Sew me! I’d put myself at a solid 4 I’d like to think. My sewing skills have certainly gone to the wayside lately, but growing up it was how I spent time with my grandmother before she passed and it’s an activity that always makes me feel closer to her.
Kristen says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a “1” these days. My grandmother taught me some basics when I was little, and I’d love to be able to re-learn!
Melanie says
SEW ME!
I am a 5-6. I have to hem every single pair of pants I own (sucks to be vertically challenged), and it became much more most effective to learn to hem them by myself.
Kate says
SEW ME!!! I am maybe a 2 on the sewing scale. My grandma attempted to teach me when I was 8 or 9 but I haven’t sewn since then. My husband and I are pregnant with our first child so I want to learn how to sew clothes, blankets, etc for our baby!
Kristen says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m maybe a 2 or 3. I can sew a straight line if someone else threads the needle for me, but I can’t thread the needle on a sewing machine, and if something goes wrong I have to wait for someone to rescue me.
Sonja says
SEW MEEEEEEE!!!! i’m a 1, but totally wanting to learn! MUST sew cute baby bibs! my 6 month old goes through a million a day :)
Stacey says
SEW ME!
I’d probably be a solid 2.5. I took a few sewing classes at JoAnn Fabric last year and came out with a decent pillow and a “wonky” shoulder bag.
Amy d says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 5? I’d love a new fancy machine!
James says
sew me! I’m a 0, but my girlfriend is pretty good and I’d love to get this machine for her and then learn a bit about it myself.
Heather @ What Does She Do All Day? says
SEW ME! I’d classify myself as a 5. I can do quite a bit, but I still make stupid mistakes.
Mary says
SEW ME!
I’M A SELF PROCLAIMED 9.5
I CAN SEW JUST ABOUT ANYTHING
BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I AM FILLED WITH SELF DOUBT!
Alix says
Sew Me!
I would say I am around a 5 — my middle school home ec teacher thought I was bringing projects home for my mom to finish & I won more than one needle threading competition in that class… but I don’t have a working sewing machine as an adult :(
Caitlin says
Sew Me!!
I’d say I’m a 2. I’ve made a couple small items (like a pillow and a paper garland), but would definitely do more if I had a quality sewing machine!
Allison says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a 2? I learned basic sewing machine skills in Home Ec, and don’t (yet) have a machine of my own. I dabble, but I wouldn’t trust anything I make to survive a trip through the washing machine.
Sarah L. says
SEW ME!
I am a 0 all the way. I have touched a sewing machine since Home Ec. in junior high. We just our first house though and I am thinking I need to change that ASAP. There are lots of curtains and throw pillows to be made.
Laura says
SEW ME!
I have what is basically a child’s sewing machine for really basic stuff, but anything beyond a straight line is impossible…
Lauren says
Sew me! If 1 is a beginner, I’d give myself a zero, but I’ve always wanted to learn!
Christy says
SEW ME! I’d consider myself a 7 or 8. I’ve been sewing since middle school and love it!
Eli says
SEW ME!! I know nothing about sewing but my mom really needs a new sewing machine for Christmas, so if I win this will go to her and I’ll ask her to teach me!
Kelly says
SEW ME!
Jerri says
SEW ME! I’m a zero–scared to even touch a sewing machine, but my mom sews my craft projects for me when necessary so I’d love to be able to upgrade her machine (a very basic one I bought for her about 10 years ago in order to bribe her into sewing me a Halloween costume in college).
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I like to think I’m about a 6 but I’m really probably more of a 2. I can do a mean running stitch by hand tho! lol!
amanda says
SEW ME!!!
Id say a solid 4. I once sewed an apron for my daughter…long story short it turned into a bib for my son. Oh well, apron/bib practically the same thing. It’s a win in my book.
Les says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3 – learned at an early age, then stopped sewing for too long and lost the skill. Would love to pick it up again. I haven’t had access to a sewing machine since I moved out of my parents’ house! :P
Erin says
SEW ME
A 3! My mom taught me when I was younger and I can probably set it up and sew some straight line. However, I still drive to her house to make her sew things for me:)
Hannah says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 6? I know my way around a sewing machine, but wouldn’t call myself a pro. Also I’m drooling over all those fancy stitch patterns…
Joyatee says
SEW ME!!!! I’m about a 5. I’ve made a few quilts, dresses, and tops for myself. I will be attempting to sew my own pants soon (!), so I’d looove a chance to win such a fancy sewing machine. My $50 one has been giving me some wonky issues recently.
K (Barking Babymama) says
SEW ME!!! I taught myself to sew, like Sherry, but I have done enough projects and even finally used a pattern for the first time to make matching Easter ties for my sons, so I would probably rate myself a 5. I keep getting a duplicate message, so I’m hoping adding this will help?
AllieN says
SEW ME! I’d give myself a 3 too. I have sewed together some things in the past, but I could use a lot of improvement!
Jessi says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 5 maybe a 6 if my 10 month old would give me any time on practice my skillz!
Leslie says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5 going on 6. I used to do more fashion sewing but now it’s mostly straight line quilting and home decor stuff
