***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…

Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a two – I made myself an apron the summer after 7th grade and proudly wore it all the next year in 8th grade home ec. That was the last time I sewed, and I don’t want to reveal exactly how many years ago that was.
Lindsey says
Sew me!
I’m a 1, but it’s on my list of things to learn, especially so I can tackle simple projects like hemming pants and making some sweet curtains and pillows!
Kristy says
SEW ME!! I’m a 1 on a good day. At best, I can (sloppily) sew a button onto a shirt if one falls off. But usually I just throw that shirt away because…too hard!!
Kelly P says
SEW ME!
Hmmm… I think maybe a 4 on a good day. I can make curtains (basically rectangles) all day long, but anything more than that requires A LOT of effort on my part. I did make an adorable dinosaur hoodie for a friend’s daughter, but it was super easy.
Diana says
SEW ME!
Lisa F says
SEW ME! I would say I’m around a 4. It’s been a while since I’ve done too much with my machine as something is going on with the tension or type of bobbin I’m using. No fun when every time I start sewing, the thread gets all bound up and wonky.
Kelly M says
SEW ME! I can sew on a button…that’s about it. For everything else I rely on hem tape…which is sometimes a mega gong show!
Kaylie says
Sew me!
Yikes, I’m definitely a 1. I tried to make a t-shirt quilt once… Ugliest. Project. Ever.
Tammy Mickschl says
Sew Me – I would say a 4 – I used to sew a bit, but I don’t have a machine anymore. I would love to start again!
Anne says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2-3. My mom is an excellent sewer, so I need to get some lessons from her.
giota says
SEW ME
I don’t have a clue how to sew but i would love to win this beauty so i could learn. So i am 1
Kayla says
I don’t even want to enter myself for the raffle because I already own a sewing machine. But I do want to congratulate you on your awesomely nerdy clip art teaser from last Friday’s post. I had to go back and look at it again once I saw the raffle go up. A little on the cheesy side – but I love it!
melissa l says
SEW ME!
A 1 but I REALLY want to learn!
Keri says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 3 or a 4… but I feel I’d be much better if I spent less time unjamming the sewing machine I currently have!
Emily says
As in “I would SEW ME some stinkin’ curtains!”?
I’m probably in the middle, maybe a 6. I’ve created some wearable outfits for my little girls but even with my “new” hand me down machine it’s not easy. Would love a good one and really would make curtains. I live it a fish bowl, right on the road, at a stop sign :(
Karen Lindauer says
SEW ME! I’m a big fat 0 on the scale, but have always wanted to learn!
Laura says
SEW ME!
4 I have done some sewing mostly needed things.
Marinn says
SEW ME!
I’d give myself a 4. I can see some things that turn out down-right not wonky. But not many.
emily says
Sew me!
I am a sewing learner but my 5 year old is a serious seamstress! She can teach me a few things!
Siobhan says
Sew me! I’m probably in the 2-3 range..and that’s with a needle & thread between my fingers. Would love for the singing machine to make her way to Europe :)
shellymc says
SEW ME!! I’d say I’m around a 5? I did Home Ec in school, and we learned how to sew there. I made a waistcoat! I’d LOVE a sewing machine to do things around the house — make curtains, cushions, and do clothes alterations and repairs. It’d be brilliant!
Catherine says
SEW ME!!
I’m a total 1! Buttons are pretty much the only item I can deal with!! hahaha! BUT if I was to win that baby, I would definitely sign up for some classes and try to get to a five by next x-mas!
Amanda says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 for sure. Want to be a 10 but haven’t taken the time.
Carrie says
SEW ME!
I’m not sure what I rate. I haven’t sewn in years but decided I am going to make some curtains with the help of my mom. I was probably a 4 when I was a kid but now I am likely a 2. We will see!
Amanda says
Sew me! Definitely a 1.
Sarah says
sew me!
i’m about a 5 with my skills
Erin says
SEW ME! I’m sadly somewhere around a 2, but my mom is a solid 10 and I so want to be like her :) This machine would put me on my way there!
tara says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 1 on the scale. But I have always wanted to learn. I have made a few of my son’s Halloween costumes but they involved no sewing.
kristin says
SEW ME!
Carlie says
Sew Me! I’d say 6 to 7
Crystal says
SEW ME!
I would like to generously consider myself a 6 or 7. Maybe this machine could help me reach 10!
Emily says
sew me!
i would maybe be a 4. Im pretty good at following directions, but i guess my major flaw is that im lame at measuring correctly!
Jana says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 but I’d love to learn!
Kristin says
SEW ME! Definitely a 1, but hoping to improve that!
Angela says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a strong 6!
Emma says
Sew Me!
I’d say Id be somewhere between a 5 and a 7. I can quilt, not brilliantly but they are useable, but I can’t sew clothes for anything…
Jessica says
SEW ME!!!!!
I would say I’m a 1.5. I grew up with my mom and she was an avid and quite good seamstress. She would make clothes that I wasn’t too keen on. But now looking back on everything she made me I wish I payed attention more. I am itching to learn how to sew. This would be the perfect jumping off point. And good bonding I the process.
Ash says
SEW ME!
I am a 3 creeping up on 4! I have really taken up sewing in the last month – Christmas gifts so that they HAVE to get finished instead of the usual start 10 projects that aren’t finished 5 years later!
Katie says
SEW ME
I am probably about a 3 on the sewing skill level. I took a beginner’s class last year at a local fabric store and managed to make a purse and some pajama pants. After that, I was able to make two more pairs of pants (although I did have some major trouble following the pattern — maybe I should be a 2), but I haven’t sewn anything since. I would love to have my own machine to learn on!
Lindsay says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2-3. My mom taught me tons of skills but darn me for not remembering more or paying better attention! I want to re-learn!
Megan G. says
Sew me! The 7th grade me would be like an 8 (I actually wore some clothes I made myself!). The current me is probably more like a 5, but wanting to get back into sewing more
BornInaZoo says
SEW ME! Also a 3.
Jennifer says
“SEW ME!” PLEASE!!
I’m closer to a 1. I’m recently very interested to learn to sew. My good friend helped me a few months back sew burp cloths and ever since then I keep finding projects I want someone to do with me (or for me at this stage) :) As an adult, not learning to sew from my grandmother is one of my deepest regrets since she’s no longer able to teach me.
Jill says
Sew me please! I’d say I’m about a 3 or a 4. I can make a few things but definitely need more practice!
Keely says
Sew Me! I’m a 1 with ambition.
Julie says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1, but “sew” want to learn how!
Nadine says
SEW ME! I would say I’m about a 2. My Jr. High sewing skills can bust out a pillow case like nobody’s business!
Maura says
SEW ME!
I’m probably somewhere in the 2-3 range. I have made a bag out of a t-shirt before, which means the wonkiness is sort of hidden in the inherent slouchiness.
Diana says
SEW ME!
I am a zero – but my 14 year old daughter is much more like a 5 – this would be a wonderful Christmas gift for her :)!
Ashley says
SEW ME! I’m like a 0.5. I can sew on a button, but that’s pretty much the extent of my skills. I’d love to be able to do lots of fun creative stuff with sewing though, so I’m super excited about this giveaway!
