***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’ve always wanted to learn to sew. I can sew ok by hand (I’m maybe a 3) but machines have always been intimidating. It’s time to face my fears!
Lara says
SEW ME! I would rate myself a 6 or 7. I had some awesome classes in high school and I would love a top of the line machine like this!
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1 when it comes to sewing. My husband is better than I am, but I’d love to learn!
Jane Nelson says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2.5 to a 3. I’ve started slow, but I’m getting better!
christina jones says
Sew Me..!!!
I am probably a 3-4…
Ellen says
SEW ME!
I’ll say I’m a 6 or 7. I took some sewing fashion classes in college and I’ve been known make a quilt or mend some jeans in my day.
Kristin C. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2-3, I can do a little, but I would love the opportunity to improve!
Kay W says
SEW ME!! I think im probably a 4. I can sew, it just takes me forever!!
DEB C says
SEW ME!
katy gray says
SEW ME!!!
I’m about a 5 or a 6. I make a lot of things up as I go and can rock a zipper AND the button holer. WHOOP WHOOP!!!
Jenny says
SEW ME!
I don’t want to brag, but I’m probably a solid 2 :) There’s definitely room for improvement!
Kara says
SEW ME! Easy to use?!?! I am a 3 but I am so confused by my ancient machine that it makes me a 0. :(
Meghan says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4, but with a machine like this I could be a 6 (maybe!) I constantly struggle with my current machine–this one looks like a dream!
Eligonma says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 4.
Katie says
SEW ME!!
Probably a 1 unless my junior high skills come rushing back to me. I would love to make pillows & curtains with all the fabric I have sitting around. Beats (bad) hand sewing!
Alyssa says
SEW ME! Ah, I’m probably a 0. I’ve taken shirts to the cleaners to sew on a button….BUT I’d love to learn!
Kelsey Garcia says
SEW ME!!
I am probably a 3, I can do an ok job sewing but I usually need assistance as I go.
jenn m says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 0!
SEW ME! says
I’m probably a 4. I wish I was more skilled, but there’s little time to learn with two little ones running around. Someday!
Hillary says
SEW ME!
Jessica says
Sew Me! I’d say about a 4–it’s been a while, but I’ve made a few quilts.
Alexandra says
SEW ME!
I can probably sew my way out of a bag – and a Singer would make it go so much faster :)
Andrea says
SEW ME!!!
Definitely a 0. I’ve never even touched a sewing machine even though my office used to be in the costume shop of the theatre I used to work at. Whoops.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to sew though. Just like I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the piano.
This might be it! Change my life, Petersiks!
Anna says
SEW ME!!!!
Would have to be a 2 on the scale, would love to have my own sewing machine, yay!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3! But would like to be a 10! :)
Lauren says
Sew me!
Alone I’m about a 1, but if my fiance’s there, then I’m a 5!!
Angie h says
Sew me!! Just finishing basement which includes a craft room. I’m a 1 but want to be so much more:). Maybe this would get me to those sewing classes I’ve always wAnted to take!!
Laura says
SEW ME! I’m a 2. I can make napkins…?
Michelle Rosales says
SEW ME!! I am probably a 3 right now with my cheapy $20 Walmart sewing machine. (I think it may even be for children to use to learn on) I’d like to become a 10 but I’m not sure my little machine could even get me to that point
Melissa K. says
SEW ME! I’m a 3-ish. I sew wonky items also. :)
Kyle Hartwell says
SEW ME!
About a 2. I used to be much better but haven’t had a working sewing machine in years!
Summer says
SEW ME!
Tracy B says
SEW ME!!
I’m about 2. I need a lot more practice!!
Jillian says
SEW ME!
I can sew some by hand, but that’s about it. I’ve always wanted to learn my way around a machine – alter clothes, make stuff, etc. Maybe this is the kick in the pants I need!
Georgiana CK says
SEW Me!
My skills are a zero but I’ve always wanted to learn how to sew. What a perfect opportunity to try! Thanks.
Ang says
SEW ME! I’m a 1, for sure, but Sherry has inspired me to want to buy a sewing machine and learn how to use it! It’s a little embarrassing that I need to pay the dry cleaner to reattach fallen coat buttons for me…
Lily says
Sew me!!
I’m a solid 3, but trying to get to an 8!
Jessica says
SEW ME!!
I would say i’m at 3. A new sewing machine would help teach me new sewing skills!
Ishra Solieman says
SEW ME! A 1, maybe 2….I can sew a pillow!
JMB says
“SEW ME!!” I’m going with a “strong 3” on this one…
Manning says
SEW ME :) I am around a 6 on the sewing scale, definitely not a professional. However, I have made stuffed pillows, pillow covers, place-mats, napkins, and even a tree-skirt! This machine looks awesome!
Elissa says
Sew Me!
Definitely a 1, but would LOVE to be a 10 :)
Isabelle says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 2. I took a sewing class this summer and was a champ at making a pillowcase on the $500 sewing machine they let me used, but I couldn’t make the jump to buy it even with all its fancy features. I’d really like to get more into sewing though, I had a blast during my class. I need to scour Craigslist better for a slightly used sewing machine.
Michelle says
A 3 or 3.5. I’m pretty good at hand sewing – but it takes me forever. I’ve always wanted to learn with a machine!
Michelle says
SEW ME! I would put myself at a solid 4. I once made a glorious skirt out of Dick Tracey sheets.
Shelby says
Sew me!
I would say I’m a 3 – I can sew straight lines and have done a few projects, but nothing too challenging.
Tanya says
SEW ME! I’m a novice.
Rachel C says
SEW ME!!
I can barely sew on a button, but my mother in law is a sewing master. Maybe with a nice machine she could teach me a few things. Or I could just give her a REALLY good Christmas present. Haha!
Jaime says
SEW ME!!!!
I’m probably a 5… I took a beginner’s sewing class last year so that I would know enough of the basics to be able to follow tutorials and stuff. Though, with this Mom-Brain of mine, I forget most terminology so must resort to giving things made-up names…
Jen says
SEW ME!
I have just discovered the wonders of a sewing machine!! I have used my mum’s machine when visiting her and made a few basic pillowcase dresses for my girls. I’d rate my skills a solid 4. Would love a sewing machine of my own to practice and get better at making all kinds of wonderful things myself.
Roxanne R. says
Sew Me!
I am a 3 or 4 with a machine, but, like, a 6 by hand. I can hand stitch just about anything!
