***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…

Patti says
Sew Me! I’m about a 4 on a really good day.
Tiffany W says
SEW ME! I’d like to think of myself as a 3 or 4. A new machine might make my skills a little better. :)
christyn says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 (I went to sewing camp as a kid) but want to one day be halfway to my Meme (who is definitely a 10!) Becoming a 5 would be a dream-come-true for me :)
Beth says
A 1 but would love to learn!
Meg says
SEW ME!
I can sew a semi-straight line and reattach buttons buttons :) more often though I just try to safety pin or duck tape~!
Sherry J says
SEW ME! I’m a 7 thanks to lessons from my Grammy : )
Shawn says
SEW ME!
I’m a dude who’s never touched a sewing machine either. But my wife could do something with it! She’s got to be at least a 1 or 2!
Sarah says
Sew Me!!!!
I have no clue how to sew, but really really want to learn!
Linda Williamson says
SEW ME!!!!!
Is 0 an option? I think I’m a zero who believes she can be a 9 in no time :)
Amanda says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m like a 6. I took a couple semesters of sewing in High School (over 10 years ago) and have dabbled here and there, but I definitely still have a seam ripper handy for the majority of my projects :)
Linda says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 6. I grew up sewing 4-H projects, which included clothes for me that actually fit! Now I mainly quilt, when life and work and kids allow, which isn’t nearly enough!
foobella designs says
SEW ME!
I am maybe a 2, because I’ve sewn 2 things in my life, a pillow case and an apron. If I win this sewing machine, that will automatically make me a 3. =)
Lauren says
SEW ME!
I think I’m with $herdog at about a 3. Would love to up my skills!
Tasha says
SEW ME! I’m a novice.
Gina says
SEW ME!! I’d say 3ish…sorta trust my hands more than the machine, LOL.
Lynn @ Our Useful Hands says
SEW ME!
I’m an old school hand sewer but we are marching towards the window coverings portion of this house and something tells me my hands will need some assistance…
My best, Lynn
*thanks for hosting this thing! This is the one…I can feel it…
Rebecca says
SEW ME!!!
Rebecca says
Shoot! Hit Enter too soon!
SEW ME!
I am definitely a one. I used to think my computer skills were better than my sewing skills but after this, I’m not so sure.
DeNacho says
SEW ME!
i am stuck at 3! i can sew a few small projects but lack the confidence to try the things i really want in my home. so my house will forever be pillow cover-ville!
Megan V. says
SEW ME!
I haven’t used a sewing machine since middle school, but I’d love to get better!
Ava says
SEW ME! I’d say i am a 3.
Heidi says
SEW ME! :)
I’m definitely a 1… as in, total beginner. But I’ve been wanting a machine forever!
Christina says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3. A new sewing machine is totally on my Christmas list too so this would be AWESOME!
Amanda says
SEW ME!!
I’m definitely a 1, but really want to start learning how to hem my own pants!
val says
SEW ME!! I would say I’m maybe a 4? I’ve sewn curtains for almost every room by borrowing a sewing machine sporadically from a friend. They are only slightly wonky.
Dee says
Sew me…
I am a definite 1, but a willing learner :)
Erin says
SEW ME!!
Im totally a 1. I have about 10 buttons just calling my name. I really want to learn though.
Jessica P. says
SEW ME!
I’m saying a 2, but only because I haven’t touched a sewing machine since Home-Ec class in junior high!
Bri Frost says
SEW ME… perhaps a 4, my bag wouldn’t be perfect but just the right amount of handmade/custom flawed
Janet B says
SEW ME!
I think I’m about an 7 on your scale. I can sew most things, and love to do it. Thanks for the chance to win.
Katelyn Hickman says
SEW ME!!!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. I understand the basics by hand – so maybe a 2 there! I would LOVE to have this machine and to enroll in some sewing classes at the craft store!
Kate says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 3 thanks to 8th grade home-ec!
Sarah R says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3 or 4. When I was younger, we sewed hats in Girl Scouts, and then a few years later we made a pillow in Home Ec class. I’m not sure I’ve touched a sewing machine since. Perhaps it’s like riding a bicycle? Hopefully this machine would make it easy to pick the habit back up. I could really use it – I’m short and could save a lot of money tailoring my own clothes (eventually!)
Megan R. says
Sew me! I think I rank somewhere around a 2. Last time I sewed was in 7th grade and I made some fashionable hair scrunchies!
Joanna says
SEW ME!
I’m gonna claim 4… to be honest my only experience is on a really old, clunky machine, years ago..but if that turned out OK then I think with this I could become a master!
Beth says
Sew Me! I used to know how to sew (maybe a 4?) but my current sewing machine is an old hand-me-down that gives me headaches!
KristinK says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 2. I tried to pay attention when my Grandmother taught me so patiently. Then I didn’t touch a machine for 20 years. A few years back I was asked to help ‘sew’ some wedding programs together – and impressed my new Mother-In-Law with being able to sew a straight line down the center of some pages. Score :) My fashionista Step daughter is now getting the bug – and I’d love to gift her this fabulous machine! Thanks for reading!
Tana says
Sew Me! I’m a 3-4. I can stitch by hand, but I’d love to learn how to use a machine!
Susie says
SEW ME! I’m somewhere around a 3. I could make the darn bag, but it would definitely be wonky.
Emily says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a five on the sewing spectrum… I’m pretty good at what I do sew, but there’s a ton of things I haven’t even attempted…
Gordana says
SEW ME!
I wish I was as good as my mom who used to make my clothes when I was a kid… I stick to simple things like pillowcases, so I am probably a 3 on a good day!
Lindsay says
SEW ME!!!!!!!
I am probably a 2 but would love to perfect my skills with this machine!!! I currently have a hand-me-down from my grandma that is probably about 30 years old!
Vicky M says
SEW ME!
I am so much a 1! But I could be better with this machine ;)
Michelle M. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably like a 2 as along as I know how to thread the machine. So I could so myself out of a wonky bag? Is that how this works? I was around a 4 or 5 when I took costume tech in college, but that was like 4 years ago, so IDK now.
Kristy says
Sew Me!! I’m a 3 on a good day… :)
eva says
SEW ME!!!
i’d say i’m about a 2.
Christina G says
Sew me! I think I’d be a 3. Good construction skills and seeing the pieces laid out, but actually assembling them? Good grief.
Peter says
Sew Me!
I am a total 1.
Tangee says
Sew Me!
Let’s just say that last time I tried to sew, I broke 4 sewing machine needles and sewed the front of a dress to the back.
