***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…

Jaci says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2. I did sew back in my middle school days of home economics, but haven’t been on a machine since. I’d love to start sewing again for my kiddos!
Frances says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2 but have been dreaming of becoming a 10!
jina says
Sew Me!
I’m a sewing 2, but hoping to move up with some practice. Fingers crossed.
Emily says
SEW ME!
BONUS QUESTION: I’m probably a 2. I just finished doing a whole swack of repair on some wool coats for winter (freaking lining), and I have hemmed pants and curtains but that is about as adventurous as I get at this point!
Maggie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 2 or 3, it’s been a long time since I lived in a house with a sewing machine, but I’m eager to learn!
Katie says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 3ish too. I’d like to think I’m smart enough to figure it out if I just wanted to.
Jess @ Little House. Big Heart. says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5-6. My mom taught me to sew on her old Singer sewing machine (so old that it was originally a treadle machine that had been converted to electricity). I’ve been sewing all my own curtains and pillows for the Little House and am getting ready to embark on my next big adventure: a bed skirt!
Meg M says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 1-2. I used to be able to sow the little elastics on my ballet shoes when i was like 8… in a pinch i was able to (mismatchenly) sow the hem in my skirt before a big meeting… thats the jist of it.
Vanessa van der Meer says
SEW ME! I’m a 3ish and would improve with a better machine :):)
Krista L. says
Sew me!
My sewing skills would rank 3-4. As long as you don’t look to closely my projects look great!
Natalie Derrickson says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 6. I’ve made my own pillow pattern (reversible with a 2″ border and the patterns match up perfectly everywhere and are exact replicas! I also made a suit for my Halloween costume and have made a bag. Next up- quilt for Christmas. 15 days is enough, right?
nora says
SEW ME!
I’m probably somewhere close to the middle, say a 4, but sliding downhill–I really want to get back into sewing after a long hiatus but have an old machine that needs work and it’s holding me back! Sew me, please……
Kelly H. says
SEW ME!
I’d have to rate myself a 2 on the sewing skills continuum. The last time I sewed was 10+ years ago and it wasn’t pretty. I’ve been thinking about trying it again, though, and a fancy schmancy new machine would definitely make it easier!
Sonya says
Sew Me!
I’m probably edging toward a 5…my first bag would be wonky but my second would be okay?
Randi says
sew me!
I’m a 1….I have a small sewing kit but that’s it!
Michelle says
SEW ME!
I would probably rank myself at a 1. I’ve done a few projects, but they were pretty basic.
Laura Burstow says
SEW ME!! All the way from Australia!
My boyfriends mum taught me how to make a Christmas stocking this year and I felt like a pro but in reality I’d still be a 1
Mary B. says
SEW ME!
Christine says
Sew me! I’m maybe a 4. I made pillow covers!
Kelli Dahl says
SEW ME!
I would say I’m about a 4 – have taken one class and can sew a few things. I wish I had time to do more!!
Leanette says
Sew Me!! I would say I’m about a 3. Sewing in a straight-ish line works for me! I’ve also hemmed a pair of jeans too!
Kim says
Sew Me
Cindy Johnson says
Sew Me! I’m a 3 – most of the time. :)
heather says
Sew me!
I’m probably an 9 or 10 … I made my prom dress in high school and my wedding dress.
melissa says
SEW ME BABY!!! I am a solid 7.5 I can make most anything but need at least a rough pattern and NO blindfold :)
Katherine says
SEW ME! I’m a bit afraid of sewing machines mostly because using one will validate the fact that I don’t know what I’m doing! You have to start somewhere though, right?
Lindsey D says
SEW ME! I am non existant but its on my life list!
Pat B. says
SEW ME!
Ariana says
Sew Me! Um, yeah, a 0. Or maybe -1.
Hana says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4? But almost exclusively by hand!
Ashlee says
Sew me! I just started trying to sew a month ago so I went from clueless 0 to maybe a 2 now. Still have a lot to learn!
Courtney says
SEW ME!!! um…i sewed a pillow by hand once. it was terrible.
Liz Ashby says
Sew Me!
A one for sure, but I want to learn!
Angela B says
SEW ME! I think I’m a 3. I can sew a heck of a wonky bag. I wish I was like my mother who was a total 10 and sewed all her own clothes that actually looked like they were from a store.
Kara Murray says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 1, but really want to learn. I don’t buy things sometimes because I think I can make them on my own, but never do because I don’t know how to sew!
Mandy says
SEW Me..
0.5? But I’d love to improve to a 4 or 5.
michelle says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 0. Would love to learn though!
Marita says
SEW ME!
1.5 – mediocre but enthusiastic
Fran says
Sew me!
I would rate my sewing ‘skills’ around a 3-4. Basically I can feed the thread and guide the fabric in a straight line. Definitely need some practice :)
Anne Marie says
SEW ME! I think I am a 2. I have sewed a few things before, but would need some help!
ellen says
Sew me! I am a one, fo shiz.
Ashlee says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2, but could get better if I actually had a sewing machine!!
Ashley says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2 or a 3. I have only sewn hems on curtains until now but my mom is an 8 and I want to get better so I can make all the things she does!
Lisa says
SEW ME!
I think I am around a 2 on the skill level right but I have good intentions of moving on up the scale!
mary says
SEW ME! My grandmother was a talented seamstress but I’m just a beginner!
Scott says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 2, only because boy scouts taught me something. But, really I’m entering this giveaway for my wife…
Mackenzie says
SEW ME!!!
I’m probably a 6 or 7. Straight lines are my favourite.
Katie says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 7…I taught myself to sew a few years ago- one thing I’d love to learn is to quilt which seems extremely daunting to me…oh- and how to sew on a zipper- have yet to tackle that bad boy yet…
Amy says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1 or a 2 but maybe with this fancy machine I could work on becoming a 3 or 4…Ha ha!
Skye says
SEW ME!
I think I’m probably also a 3- I can use the machine (most of the time) and have had some mild successes :)
