***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…

alicia says
Probably 3 as I took a sewing class 3 years ago, but I’ve never owned a machine!
Rebecca says
SEW ME!
I was lucky to learn a lot of what I know about sewing from my mother and grandmothers, to get me to about a 7. But I have a lot more to learn!
Meredith says
SEW ME
I am about a 2. I have sewn a pillow although it wasn’t great but I would love to keep trying!
Kaitlin says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a novice when it comes to sewing, but I have a couple projects planned that hopefully will allow me to increase my skills!
cicile says
SEW ME!
i think I would 8 ! I sew a lot but ma machine just broke… :'(
Meagan says
SEW ME!!!! I need some new throw pillows!!
Melissa says
SEW ME! I’m a 3, maybe a 4 if I am trying really, really hard. I come from a long line of sewing women and quilt makers and I am the sort-sewing shame of the family. Maybe this machine could help me get my act together??
Claire H. says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2.. can fix the minor button/ripped pocket here and there, but no where near a curtain or bag (yet).
Vincent says
SEW ME!!
Amelia says
SEW ME!!
I’d say a 1, I did successfully sew a pillow in my home-ec class in high school :)
Denise says
HOLY MOLY!! I would be so happy to win this!!! I am a terrible sewer, and totally intimidated by sewing machines… maybe I’m a 1 or a 2, no joke. But I would love to become a pro (or at least be able to hem my pants and such).
Daniela says
SEW ME!
On the sew scale, I might be a negative. But I’d like to change that!
Ginny says
SEW ME! Maybe a 1. I can sew hems and buttons by hand, but I’d love to learn to use a machine!
Kate B. says
SEW ME! Definitely a zero. I can’t even sew a button.
Mari-ann says
SEW ME!!!!
Definitely a 1, i wouldn’t even know where to being!
Theresa says
SEW ME!
I’m a beginner so probably a 1…but I really really want to get into it!
Kendall says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 1 right now but I have a strong desire to learn.
sara says
SEW ME! I give myself a 1 but that’s only because I can sew buttons back onto things with a needle and thread. I’d love the opportunity to learn to use a sewing machine for all my ‘pinned’ projects that I just keep in my fantasy file (i.e., the ones that will never get made).
MelanieG says
“SEW ME!”
I would say I may be a 5, I can follow a pattern but prefer the easy sew ones.My current machine is my second and it is over 12 yrs old and nearing the end of its life.
Becky says
SEW ME!
I am a 7-8 who has been sewing for 40 years. I would love a new sewing machine. My button hole option quit working, and my cord has a short in it.
Barbara says
Sew me!
Well I am right around a 1……lots to learn!
Chaitra says
SEW ME!!!
I was a 3 about 10 years ago and I am dying to start sewing again.
Ashleigh says
Sew me! I’m probably about a 5; not a master by any means but I can follow a pattern and get is right about half the time ;)
Katie F. says
Sew me…I’m a 2. I have taken one sewing class in my life, but don’t remember much.
jessica says
SEW ME!
i’d say a 6ish?? i’ll try anything but don’t make promises that anything will be straight…
Laura Graham says
SEW ME! I’m a solid 0 on the sewing skills scale! Would love to learn!
Jess says
Sew ME! I’m like a 4. I only wish I would have paid more attention to all the sewing my mom did when I was little. I REALLY do need a new machine though, maybe I could turn into a 10!
Vincent says
SEW ME!!!
Allison says
Sew Me! I’m maybe a 2 at best. I have used a sewing machine buts it’s been a long time but I’ve really been wanting to learn.
Collette says
SEW ME!
I am so much a 1 that I don’t even have a sewing machine and yet, here I find myself with a beautiful, 9 year old daughter who wants to learn to sew. I think I could be a-ok with an “easiest to use” machine. What a great giveaway
Cassie says
I’m probably a 1/2. I know how to do a straight stitch and that is it. I really want a sewing machine, but it’s definitely not in the budget right now. I would love to win one!
Cheri says
SEW ME! Gosh my current machine is about 40 years old and still going strong, but it would be wonderful to have a brand new one. I’d consider it an inspiration to retire and delve into more sewing projects!
Megan says
SEW ME!
I probably fall around a 6…I’ve made some of my own clothes, but it’s a long and difficult process every time.
Kellee says
SEW ME!
I’d say I am a 1. I sewed the little man a costume once (with loads of help from his grandma), but that was 5 years ago now. But I have THOUGHT about sewing lots of things in that time…
Heather says
SEW ME!
Oh dear… I’m a 0! I’ve SEEN sewing machines before. :) But I “sew” want to be more like Martha (or Sherry) and even had sewing on my 2012 resolutions list, but alas never got around to buying a machine.
Oh please let it be lucky number three (thousand and something!)
Vincent says
SEW ME!!!!
Katie Heitgerd says
SEW ME!
Sara says
SEW ME!!!
I’d give myself a solid 2. I figure I can sew a straight line if someone sets up the machine for me. I’d love to get myself up to a ten though! Thanks for the opportunity : )
Shelley @ Calypso in the Country says
SEW ME! I am about as pathetic as pathetic goes on a sewing machine! – Shelley
Emilee says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m approaching a 3. My most used tool is still a seamripper for undoing mistakes.
Sarah J says
SEW ME!
Christina says
Sew Me! Mine just broke so this would be a splended gift :)
Emily G. says
“SEW ME!” I’m pretty high up there on the sewing skills (8ish), and I have a pretty awesome machine, so I would def give this easy to use machine to my Mom. We’re in the process of making quilts from my Magee’s (my Momma’s Momma)old clothing for her to give to her siblings for Christmas. Since my machine is being serviced we’re using her super old, and super not easiest to use machine to get ‘er done. Mom is about a 2 on the sewing skill scale with her glasses on. :) <3
Cindy O. says
SEW ME! Definitely a 2-3 although this would be a great gift for my talented 13 year old daughter who is far more skilled than her mother. Thanks.
Stephanie says
SEW me! I’m probably a 4 or 5.
Britney says
SEW ME!
I think I’m about a 2.5-3, I know the basics but don’t have a lot of experience…hoping to get better though!
Ilene T says
SEW ME please! I’m as novice as you can get!
Michele says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1, but I would love to learn, and I would love to be one of the few winners from outside the USA!
Geri-Lynn says
SEW ME!
Well I haven’t sew anything since middle school, so I would say I’m a 1. I’ve been wanting to learn again so this would be perfect. Thank you for the giveaway.
Melissa R. says
SEW ME!
I think I might be around a two. I don’t think I’m at square one, but making a pillow in Jr High doesn’t really classify me as an expert, lol.
