***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…

Aoife says
Sew me! I think I used to be a 3 when I did home economics at school. Dying to get back into it. Have a load of projects saved for inspiration but don’t have a machine!
Mickie says
SEW ME!
I am a 5 but with the help of the machine, I know I could be a 10 (someday, haha)!
Heather W. says
SEW ME!!
I’ve never sewn anything in my life, so can I say I’m a negative 1? I would really love to learn, though! I’m always seeing fabrics I would love to make into pillows or drapery or skirts. Fingers crossed!!
Jen says
Sew me! I would probably rate myself a 5. I’ve sewn clothes, bags, etc but make lots of mistakes and undo a lot of stitches. Having a machine that is literally not 50 years old would help.
Becky C says
Sew Me! I’m an OK seamstress but who wouldn’t love a brand new sewing machine?
Lizzie says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 2, but I have aspirations to be a 6+!
Kathryn says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a 3? I’d need to win the machine to find out :)
Alison says
Sew Me!
Is negative 5 on the scale? I can hardly sew on a button…but I’ve always wanted to learn!
Rachel says
SEW ME! I’m somewhere between 3-5.
Jolie says
SEW ME! I don’t know how to use a sewing machine and it’s about time I learn.
Megan says
SEW ME!
I’d say a 2. I hemmed some fabric for classroom curtains but the hem was far from straight. Would love to win!
Roswell says
SEW ME!
I have no idea where I am currently with the sewing skills, but back in 7th grade I made a draw string bag and a vest after being forced to take home ec
Elise says
SEW ME!
I’d give myself a 2.5, although that’s probably generous. If I had an actual machine to practice on, though, I’m sure I’d be a sewing maven in no time! ;)
Caroline says
SEW ME!!!!!!!!! I’m a 1 1/2 but really want to be like a 4. So naturally I NEED this machine!!!! (so that I can stay 1.5 and it can make me look like a 4. like spanx but with sewing).
Melissa says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 0. My husband can sew better than me. Singer, help!
Allie says
SEW ME! I probably could be a 5 on a normal machine, but my old hand-me-down machine limits me to a 2 at best :o/
Meggan says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5. I took sewing in 4-H for five or so years; I can follow a pattern; I feel comfortable making some things (stuffed animals, etc.) without a specific pattern (or drafting one myself). I’m most comfortable making smallish rectangular things like cloth napkins, though.
Heidi says
SEW ME!
Before I had my kids – I would put my skills up around the 8 range – could modify a pattern to what I wanted. Now they are around a 5 – getting rusty!
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
I am not great a sewing. My grandmother tried to teach me when I was younger and bought me a cute little kind sewing machine but I never took to it. Now with a little one on the way I wish I knew how and am so ready to start learning!
Abbey says
SEW ME! Definitely a beginner :-)
Katie says
Sew me! I would probably rank myself a three like Sherry.
Carrie says
Sew me!
A 3…at best :)
Stacy L. says
SEW ME!
I’m a 5, I guess… I can handle the basics, but nothing too fancy. And I’m pretty easily frustrated by my machine!
Travis says
This is for my wife. “SEW ME” if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure she would love it.
Jacquee says
SEW ME!!
I think I could call myself a 6 or 7…I do quite a bit of home sewing: baby gifts, quilts, home decor, etc. Although I pretend I could do it, I really haven’t ventured much into the “clothing for myself” lane. I just dabble in it in miniature (I love to make baby clothes!).
Elizabeth says
Sew Me!
I think I’m a 6- so it’s time to graduate from borrowing my mom’s sewing machine.
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I’d say I am a 4…I bet I could make a mean potholder and follow a pattern, but anything else might be a stretch.
Jessica M J says
Sew me!
Probably a 6 or 7, I quilt, make cloth diapers, and clothes for the baby. I started on a Kenmore machine I got in high school and moved up to a $150 brother machine so this would be a very nice step up.
Shana says
SEW ME!
I could make a pillow … does that make me a 1 or a 2?
Diane says
SEW ME!!
I may be a 3, but I definitely need a pattern.
Stacey says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3 or 4 but I’m working on it!
christa says
SEW ME!!
Id like to call myself a 5 but realisticly im a 3. but one of my goals is to sew more and i dont own a sewing machine, what a perfect giveaway!
Monica says
Sew Me!! I am definitely a beginner sewer. I haven’t really done any sewing using patterns but have had a little success (there’s always something wonky) using online tutorials.
NayNay says
SEW ME!
I am most definitely a 1. I can sew a button, otherwise I’d be a zero! My MIL is a 10 all the way and I strive to be half as good as her one day. She made my beautiful wedding dress after all!
Kari @ Human, MD says
SEW ME! I’d say im a 2-3…. but I may be giving myself more credit than I deserve.
Cheri says
I feel vain saying a 10 but it is probably true. I have been sewing 45 years (I started making clothes for my troll dolls) and my machine is a 40 year old Kenmore I won in a sewing contest as a youngster.
Jillys says
SEW ME! I’ve been wanting to learn to sew for years – sew maybe I’ll get lucky!!
kim says
sew me! currently a 1, but i want to build my skillz!
Anna says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 4-5…I have fun trying at least!
Deborah Mickler says
Sew Me a new machine! Mine is 46!!! years old!!!
Leah Morris says
Sew Me!
I’m about a 2-3 from sewing classes in high school. I would love to make a cute comforter for my bean in the oven. I think I’m nesting already. :)
Jill says
Sew me!!!! I’m a 2 at best!
Amy says
SEW ME!! I would say I’m a 5.5 in skill level. I can definitely make some things, but could stand to sharpen my skills.
Brian says
SEW ME! I don’t sew but I have a wife that would really love a sewing machine from Santa!
Valette says
SEW ME!
I’m probably an 8, very comfortable following patterns and even making stuff up on my own.
M. says
SEW ME!
Diana says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4. I can sew straight most of the time. I give myslef a 4 because I made the crib bedding for my twins (including bumpers with piping!) Pretty proud of myself :)
Kelsey says
ooh! Ooh! Sew me!!!
I’m a 2-3, I’d say. I feel like I understand the general idea of sewing, but haven’t had much opportunity to practice other than some hand-sewing.
Tara Morgan says
Sew me!
I am a 1.5 thus far but long to be able to sew!
Kelly says
SEW ME,,, I would call myself a 5. I taught myself and I’ve done curtains, sheets, pillows, futon cover. I’d love to do more.
