***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…

Joanna says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2-3… I’d like to think I could sew a wonky bag, but I’ve never tried, so I can’t claim it yet. Thanks!
Jen says
sew me! I’d say I’m about a 2 maybe a 3.
Kara says
Sew Me!
I’d say I’m about a 4. I’ve made a couple of small quilts and can make minor clothing alterations but it’s best if I sew in straight lines, haha.
Linds says
SEW ME!
I can cross stitch and sew a wonky line, that’s about it.
Nan says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3. On a good day.
Becky Davis says
SEW ME!
Um. I can thread a needle?
Brooke Smith says
SEW ME! I’ve been sewing for a few years now – I’d give myself a 7!
Megan M says
SEW ME!
I am probably around Sherry’s level. I have bigger ambitions than skill. :)
binhtheredonethat says
SEW ME! a beginner.
Tania says
SEW ME! Definitely a 1.
Sarah S. says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m a solid 5 – as long as I have a pattern!
Melinda DP says
SEW ME
I think of myself as a need-to-do sewer. I can use one if Ineed to, but would love to be able to devote more time to practice. So maybe a 4 1/2.
David W says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills are probably at a 2. Luckily my learning & adventure skills are a healthy 8 or 9. Stitch ON!
Raina says
Sew me! I would say that I am also a one, or maybe a zero. But zero isn’t an option right?!?!? :D
Lindsay says
SEW ME!
And I’m a solid 2 or 2.5. If the machine is all set up right to begin with (tensions, threaded, etc) I can TOTALLY sew a roughly straight line. ;)
Mary Frances says
SEW ME!
I don’t sew, by my mom is amazing. I’d love to have something for her to teach me on!
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
I guess I am about a 2. I have watched my mom sew for years, so maybe I picked up some skills through osmosis :)
sarah says
at the risk of sounded like i think i’m awesome i would say my sewing skills are about a 6-7. it is totally my thing. making my daughter clothes that look out of my price range is so much fun! really excited about this giveaway. i’ve never won anything on an online giveaway–maybe this will be the one :)
Brienn Klahn says
SEW ME!
I’m a zero, but my mother-in-law is a ten! Would love to have this machine to learn on from her!
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 2 I also just received a vintage sewing cabinet this would look perfect with!
Nicole says
Sew me!
I am a 2. Would be better if I could remember how to change the thread. I get stuck on one color for half a year until it runs out then I must learn how to put in another thread!!
pam b says
Sew me! Probably a two or three
Vanessa says
SEW ME!!! PLEASE!!! Ok…I would say I am a 1.75 (if that is even a choice) I’ve taken a sewing class before but the teacher was terrible so I’m not sure I could even sew a “wonky bag” like Sherry but I am convinced if I had a machine like this I could self-teach my way to at least a 3 or 4!!
Casandra says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 but with any luck I’ll be a 5 by spring time!
Jamie says
SEW ME! I LOVE TO SEW! my mom taught me as a little girl and its something I plan on teaching my soon to be born Niece!
Alexis says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, but learning, learning…
giota says
I don’t have a clue how to sew but i would love to win this beauty so i could learn
Elizabeth says
SEW ME!
Probably a 4 or 5. I took sewing in high school so I’ve got some basic knowledge.
Rachel says
SEW ME!!!
I’m definitely running somewhere between 0-1. I would love to finally learn how to sew!!
MrsBiz says
I’m a 1. I can hand stitch buttons with little injury and minor blood loss from poking my fingers with the needle (must get thimble!). The good thing about being a “1”: room for improvement :)
Liliana says
SEW ME
I’m like a .5! But I can’t wait to make that higher! I plan on making curtains and dog beds for my fur ones :)
Sarah Jane says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1. I have been dying to learn though, my mom keeps asking me every Christmas/birthday/special milestone if I want my own sewing machine but I haven’t committed to it yet. I would love for this to be the way for me to start being a sewing master!
Elvira says
SEW ME!! I’d rate myself a 5. I made some clothes last year that I actually wear and thankfully no one asked if they were selfmade (although I match te curtains and pillows on my bed now) so I see that as a compliment. On the other hand some things go horribly wrong if you give me a dress pattern, a white sheet and a seamripper. I ended up with a dead nurses Halloween costume which wasn’t what I had in mind…
Molly H says
Sew me!
I’m a three too!
Meghan says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 2-3…I do work no-sew hem tape like nobody’s business, but erm, actual machine skills would be impressive! 2013’s new hobby?!
Val says
SEW ME!
I’m a 0 if that is possible!
Stacey says
SEW ME! I am a 1 for sure although i did make some mean scrunchies in 8th grade home-ec class and I helped make a few halloween costumes in recent years with guidence from someone who is a ten but it is something i really want to learn so i can make pillows and curtains and quilts
Laura says
Sew me! I’m probably a 4. I try!
Erin says
Sew me!
I’m probably about a 5. I can sew pretty well, but I’m always looking to improve. And a good machine would inspire me to take my skills to a whole new level!
karen says
SEW ME!!!
I’m almost a 1. But I still want to learn how to sew!
Jessica says
I’m a 5 – self-taught but from a long line of amazing seamstresses…so I have a lot to live up to!
Melissa says
SEW ME! I actually am closer to a 7 or 8, making quilts pieced by machine and quilted by hand. Not the 10 because I never made clothes or such with patterns.
Laura says
SEW ME!!!
I’m about a 4.5 on the sewing scale. And very into the fake-it-till-you-make-it school of thought.
Debbie C says
SEW ME!!!
Hmm, I think I’m a 4-5. Not a beginner, but definitely not a pro. My mom would lurve this machine!
Corri says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1, but I’d love to be able to make my own curtains and pillows for now..and maybe our future kids Halloween costumes someday?!
Tammy says
Sew me!
Probably a 1 or 2? I can sew hems take drapes…
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 4 or 5, I have sewn many curtains and pillows and I even made 2 dresses ( 1 was a complete flop though). If its just straight lines then I am ok :0)
Kam says
SEW ME!
I’m a beginner when it comes to sewing skills, but I’ve been wanting to learn for the longest time!
Jennifer C says
SEW ME! I am maybe a 2, I could probably get the machine working but whatever I produced would be laughable! That said I would love to learn! :)
April says
Sew Me!
I’m guessing I’m a solid 3. I could probably make a pillowcase or curtain panel but beyond that I’d be totally winging it! :)
