***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…

Sarah says
SEW ME! A 5!
Sara says
Sew me!!
I would rank myself a 6 ish as long as it doesn’t involve sewing something wearable!
Allison says
Sew me!! So that I can work on moving from a 2 to a 10 ????
Jackie says
SEW ME!
Probably around a 3 these days. I used to be so great at sewing in 6th grade home ec class. Maybe I can brush off those talents with a new machine! Weeeeeeee!
Jodie says
SEW ME!! I share your level 1 pain!
Kelly F. says
SEW ME!
I’ll be generous and give myself a 2! I’ve been thinking about getting a sewing machine and learning for real…maybe a good New Year’s resolution?!
Angie says
SEW ME!
Sadly, I’m only a 1, but really want to break away from Stitch Witchery!
Katy Hinsdale says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m a 3…but I for sure want to learn more!
Debbie w says
Sew Me!! I would love to have a 2nd chance at learning to sew. I was not a very good learner in the home ec class my mom MADE me take. I would love LOVE to try sewing again……help me fulfill that wish by selecting me as the winner! Thanks for he chance to win!
Alyssa says
sew me!
I’d consider myself a 2. My grandmother tried to teach me when I was younger…I bet I could still bust out a couple of moves!
Alison says
SEW ME!! How did you know this was on my Christmas list? I’m a 2. Everything i learned about sewing i learned in Girl Scouts…. with a machine I could definitely knock out some curtains and throw pillows and fun projects with my two daughters.
Elizabeth says
SEW ME!
I’m going to say 2, only because I’m confident I could make a pillow case (two straight-ish lines, right?) and I watched other people sew often enough that I know which curse words work best to get the old machine going again :)
Brittany Tolman says
SEW ME!!
My mom put me in some summer sewing classes as a kid, so I know my way around a machine a little, but I haven’t touched one in years so I’m probably about a 3 now. I’ve been wanting to work on improving my skills but don’t have a machine! This one sounds like a dream.
Erica says
SEW ME!
Sherry, you and I would be wonky-bag-sewing friends! I’m a three. I still have the wonky pillows I sewed in college; however, now they are well-loved and on the floor of my classroom.
Holly H says
I am definitely a 1… though the plan is to change that, in fact i’ve got a sewing machine on my Christmas list this year :)
Michelle says
SEW ME!
What does making pajama pants and a pillow case in highschool sewing class get me?
Farrell says
SEW ME! Skill level about a 1 but I really want to learn how to quilt! An awesome sewing machine might do the trick :)
Emily says
SEW ME (Please :D)!!!
I’d put myself around a 4.5. I made a quilt once and stitched most of it by hand, there were some complicated pieces too (spandex going into canvas, eek!). Although I won’t ever attempt to sew clothing, I’m pretty sure it’d get wonky quickly!
Britta says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 or 2, but I can “sew” a mean edge with hem tape ;)
Stephanie says
i’m about a 4… can sew with a pattern… mostly
Noora says
SEW ME! Maybe 7. I love to sew, but I’m a bit too critical about anything I do. I want it to be too perfect. Is there such a thing? And yey for an international fab freebie!! I’ve been waiting so long!
Shannon says
Sew Me! I’m probably a 3 or so. I can sew a button and some small patches and straight lines, but I would like to be a 7 or 8 and sew some of my own clothes in addition to fun house stuff!
Gillian @ GrowingUpGillian says
Sew me! 3 or 4 maybe? My grandma taught me when I was very young and I can still do relatively simple things.
Miranda says
Sew me!
I am probably a 4.75:)
I have a machine and I constantly make projects and drapes and odds and ends, but I need skill and technique work! I’m trying!
Morgan says
Sew me!! I am a 1, I can follow a line and put two pieces together but my mom is a 10! She actually made my sister-n-laws wedding dress!! I’m secretly jealous but couldn’t stand getting lessons!
Lindsey G says
SEW ME! I’m a 2 but that’ could all change if I win!!!
Corey says
Sew me! I’m a pretty amateur sewer but I think this would elevate my skills for sure!
Sally says
SEW ME!!
I would say I’m a 4. I can sew a bag, maybe a little wonky. And I’ve made a few other things. I’d say I’m an ambitious beginner :) Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
Becky Johnson says
Sew Me!!!! I think I would be around a four. I can sew basic things, but still have a ton to learn. This machine looks awesome!
tamara says
SEW ME! i’m like an 8 or 9…i definitely know my way around a machine, & can make clothes, quilts, and the like. . . . my machine is an old Pfaff hand-me-down from my mother and actually says “MADE IN WEST GERMANY” on it. :)
Roxanne M says
SEW ME! Can I be a -1? Which is why I need the machine! Forget about these people that are a 3 or above! haha!
Stephanie says
i do okay with a pattern…
Allison says
Sew Me! So I can move from a 2 to a 10 :-)
Sarah Mc says
SEW ME~ I’d give myself a very confident 3.
anne marie says
SEW ME!
I can “darn” (hand-stitch repair) with the best of ’em, but when it comes to machines, i’d say i’m a 3 on a good day. perhaps it’s because my sewing machine is from 1964? or perhaps it’s uh, user error. yeah, that’s probably it.
Carly says
Sew Me! I would give myself a solid 5 in the sewing. I can make a quilt as long it is made up of only straight lines!
Marisa says
SEW ME! I am probably a 2, but would love to learn more.
Erin says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 1. My husband and I just moved into a new house, and I’ve been thinking about investing in a sewing machine so I can make curtains, pillows, etc. So I would love this fab freebie to be mine!
Sherri says
SEW ME! I would rate myself a 4. I have made a few Halloween costumes, but now I can’t get my bobbin put back in my machine! :(
jennifer says
This machine is SEW ME! I need something easy because I rank at a strong 3 and both my kids have been wanting to learn to sew!
Wendy says
Sew me! This machine will make me a 10 !
Lisa says
SEW ME! My mom taught me when I was really young and her sewing machine was in a wooden desk that opened up. I played under it for hours while she would sew. Fond memories, now i am teaching my 3 year old daughter how to sew!
Samantha says
Sew me! I think I’m about a 3.7 – I made a t-shirt quilt a few years ago and my friends all wanted me to make them one. However, I’m using the Singer my mom got when she was 13. So a new machine, would be helpful :)
Veronica S says
SEW ME!!!! I’d call myself a solid 5. Growing up with a tailor for a dad definitely helped my sewing skills, but I’m going to need a LOT more practice to ever get as good as him!
Deb D. says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 6 or 7. Can follow patterns and do zippers. Would love to teach my daughter to sew, since I didn’t pick it up until 3 years ago. I could have saved so much money!!!
Sandra says
SEW ME! I would be a 0…
Vincent says
SEW ME!
Emily says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 1.5 – I used to sew when I was younger, but don’t have a sewing machine now! Haha I used to make sleeping bags for my beanie babies. #nerd
BeccaShawn says
SEW ME! Ummmm… well being as though I have never even touched a sewing machine, I would rank myself a 0.
Caitlynne says
SEW ME! I have just started trying to learn to sew. My mom is a big sewer and I have been wanting I start!!
