***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…

Brooke says
SEW ME! At a 1 if I’m lucky.
Laura says
SEW ME! I guess I’m about a 4 or 5- I can sew curtains and simple bags, but I can’t follow a pattern to save my life, and I have had to become very proficient with a seam ripper!
Katy says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 4. Great machine!
Erin says
SEW ME!
I’m a sewing novice so a 1 or a 2.
Kelly Adams says
SEW ME!
Trying to get better – working on my first quilt right now!
Mellington says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2. I could make a bag, but it might be sewn shut…
Shelia says
SEW ME! Please!
My machine is ancient and I would love to do more than I do now.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Sarah says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 1 but would love to improve my skills!
becca says
sew me. I know the theory, but am too unmotivated to try things, so maybe a 3 or 4? perhaps a new sewing maching would give me motivation!
Lizzie says
SEW ME!! Yey – an international giveaway :) I love to sew & would love an upgrade!
Tatianna says
SEW ME!
I’d say I am also a 3. I can sew some cushions, curtains, bed sheets but nothing too complicated like a ball gown. ;)
Kristine Graham says
SEW ME!
I am a TOTAL beginner & would really like to get better at it & really learn so I can make my kids’ costumes for Halloween! :)
Sydney W. says
SEW ME!
Maybe about a 3, due to my skills learned while a member of 4H from 1979 to 1981.
Emily W. says
SEW ME!! I am definitely a 1, but want to learn to sew so bad!
Karen says
SEW ME!!! Definitely a 1 or less?? But I sew want to learn!!
SaraB says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 5, and have been thinking I’d love a new sewing machine — mine is more than 30 years old, and was a gift from my grandmother. The new machines today are so much more sophisticated and easier to use, I think I’d be inspired to take up sewing again!
Sami says
SEW ME! 3 – I could sew a wonky bag!
Kristin says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2, but I might be over-confident!
Karisa says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 0.5. Mom sewed, but never taught me. I just sat there, cut the fabric and watched her. I could perhaps do a button.
Christine says
Sew me! In elementary school I was obsessed with sewing scrunchies but doubt I could manage my way now!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2… and so eager to learn more!
Tricia says
SEW ME!!
I think I’m a six. I can sew and I enjoy it, but I need to practice more to feel like I’m good at it.
Gina says
SEW ME! My sewing skills? Maybe a 2; straight lines for a table runner are ok, but not much beyond that…. I can make a needle break on my piece; that’s how bad it really is. I’d love to improve with that darling machine…
Autumn says
SEW ME! I’d rate myself as a 4. I can sew things that come out pretty much the way I intend, but I don’t know any of the right words to describe what I’m doing.
Megan says
SEW ME! Maybe a 2+? I actually seem to be getting worse the longer I attempt to sew. Hmmm…
Diana says
Sew me! Maybe a 4? I’ve made curtains….but they’re pretty simple.
sue says
SEW ME! I’m around a three…I can make a something that resembles a bag if you stand 3 feet away and squint:)
Sam says
Sew me! I’m probably a 7 but I like the designing part more then the sewing itself!
Annie Reindl says
SEW ME!!!!! I am not so great- maybe a 1-2, but I’d like to get better!!!
Christine says
sew me! I am probably a 1.5(if there’s such a thing). I can sew a straight line but that’s pretty much it. :)
Sarah M says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 3, like Sherry. I could belt something out if I set my mind to it but it definitely wouldn’t be anywhere near perfect!
Katy says
SEW ME!!!
I’m a 0.5. I can hand sew a button no problem… but a machine?!?! too much. would love to learn!!!
Stephanie says
SEW ME! I am probably a 6. I’ve sewn clothes for myself and my daughter plus made quilts. But I leave the fancy embroidery type stuff and tailoring to others =)
Kristin says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 5 – I’ve sewn pillows, bags, and skirts before, but I definitely wouldn’t say I’m a pro!
Meghan says
SEW ME!
I would rank my sewing skills a 8- I did major is textiles and apparel in college but I dont have as much free time to sew as Id like so I get a little rusty.
Hope says
SEW ME!
I am about a 3 too, but my husband keeps encouraging me to try larger projects!
Ashley T. says
SEW ME!!!!
I am a 1, I have attempted to use a sewing machine a couple of times only to have my Mom have to take the thing apart and fix (do) the project for me. There are just SOOO many cute things on Pinterest that need a sewing maching!
Melissa says
Sew me!!
I’d like to think I’m somewhere in the 6-7 range? I’ve sewn virtually every curtain in my house (and previous houses), Christmas stockings, even a few clothing items…. Nothing crazy, but I’ve been sewing here and there since my early teens, so hopefully I’ve picked up a few things!
Kelsey T. says
SEW ME!
1 but hoping to be a 5
Cindy says
SEW ME! I am about a 4, but working on a machine that is less than a 1! I got it 38 years ago and it is so sad….. But i have made a ton of history on it!!
Martha says
SEW ME!
I am a very experienced sewer. Started sewing clothing but now I primarily sew quilts. Would love this machine for my daughter!
Jody says
Sew Me!
I’d say maybe a 2…I need some practice or lessons or something thats for sure!
Rhiannon says
SEW ME!
Maybe like a 7? I’ve made couch and wingback chair covers, curtains, pillows, a few costumes. Although, I cannot read sewing patterns for the life of me. I kinda just wing it. :)
pei says
Sew Me!
I am 2 maybe but always happy to improve! I made cushion covers by hand because I didn’t have a sewing machine!
Cristina M. says
Sew me!
I would say i’m a 4 or 5. I was really into it in high school when I had a lot of free time and even made my own satin duvet cover (it was so pretty but slippery and it would slip off the bed to the floor every night)…but now I mostly make pillows and simple things. I’m hoping to make my own pencil skirt or circle scarf soon! Must make time!
Charisma says
SEW ME! I probably would rank myself as a level 2 sewer. I learned a straignt stitch about 5 years ago but that was the last time I touched a sewing machine. Anytime I run into trouble it seems I am unable to figure it out and have to call my mom for help. I am a 34 year old woman who still calls her mom for help (on a regular basis, gotta love her). I am hoping that if i touch a sewing machine again soon it will be like riding a bike but it’s not likely since i can’t remember the first step. Please pick me to win!
Alyssa says
SEW ME!
I’ve only watched other people use sewing machines..so I think that makes me a 0. But learning how to use one has been on my bucket list for quite awhile!
Danielle Goodman says
4…I could still use a lot of practice!
Adrienne says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 2, I don’t have a sewing machine, but did take it in home ec back in the day.
Keisha says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m about a 2 or 3. Currently sewing some fish for a fishing set for the kids, for Christmas. Bought my machine at a thrift store and it could use some help. Would be nice to be able to do something other than a straight stitch. :)
