***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…

Amanda says
SEW ME! I once “sewed” on a button, if you could even call it that. But, I hear you can learn anything on the Internets and I feel a pull to sew my new husband some ridiculously embarrassing pants that I insist he wears out.
shelby says
SEW ME!
I’m around a 4, but my skills need more practicing in order to be perfected. Hoping I can do that on a NEW MACHINE :)
Amanda May says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1, sewed a soccer ball and pillow in 7th and 8th grades. Closed on our first house last week (with a craft room, yippie!) next to the ‘future’ nursery and can’t wait to get all DIY up in here. I see yards and yards of fabric in my future :)
Emma S. says
Sew me!
I am probably about a 2. But am excited to learn moee and get better.
Donna says
SEW ME! A 2 for sure.
Kathy says
“SEW ME!” I am probably a 2 – but I want to be an 8! My sewing machine got donated to Goodwill when we were decluttering prior to putting our house on the market two years ago. I didn’t think I would miss it (it was 20 years old and had “issues”) but I DO!

Laura says
Sew me!!!!
I’m probably a solid 6. Would love this machine, it would be a big step up from my current machine!
Heather says
SEW ME!
I would say my sewing skills are around a 6. I can sew pretty much anything I need but they aren’t always pretty and polished looking. I did have a mom growing up who insisted we sew our own prom/homecoming dresses so I am not totally hopeless.
Laura says
SEW ME!!
I’m right around a 3, I have a crappy machine that doesn’t allow to expand my skills right now. A new sewing machine would be awesome!
Lisa says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 4. Let’s just say google/the internet is my friend whenever I”m sewing stuff.
Emily @ Relishments says
SEW ME!
I think I’m probably a 1…but I’d like to change that!
Grace Anne Haynes says
Sew Me! I’m like a 3 or so, I hem pants and sleeves and sometimes use my machine to do applique on onesies for baby gifts. My machine is old, so I would love a new one!
Kala M. says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m around the 3-5 area. I took some Home-ec classes back in like middle school and learned a bit about sewing but I’m no wiz. I have some projects I’ve been wanting to do but they are easier to do on a machine then by hand sewing. But I don’t have a sewing machine. This would make it “SEW” much easier!
Amy Cannon says
See me!
I’m probably a 4. I can follow a pattern pretty well.
Shawna says
Sew me! I’m like a 2-4…But could use the practice with a new machine ;)
Lindsay O says
Sew Me! I’m a 0 on the sewing scale, but I’d love to learn some simple skills on a “friendly” machine!
Karen C. says
SEW ME!
I am totally a 1. I never learned even the basics. So embarassing! My husband is the one who knows how to sew a button back on or patch a hole. :)
Marcella says
sew me!
I would say I am a 6
Jenn says
SEW ME!
I would say that I’m a 5. I taught myself, I enjoy it, and I like that my grandmother and I share the ability. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good sew-fest, though. Would love to win this machine!
Michelle says
SEW ME! In my dreams I’m a 10…in reality, probably only a 2! :(
Jamsby says
Sew me’
I’m probably a 7.
Anne F. says
Sew me! Yeah, I made a pillow case once…when I was 8. And maybe with lots of help.
Maeve says
Sew me!! Im a beginner, but have been dying to learn! This would be a great excuse!
Jil Swift says
Sew Me!! I am definitely a 1 with ambition to be a 10! :)
Angela Wilson says
SEW me! I’m probably a 2. I’ve attempted to use a sewing machine once and it was a mild success. Would love to try again!
Marie says
SEW ME! I am definitely a 1, but have been wanting to learn to sew for a long time!
Eveline P says
SEW ME!
I’d say my sewing skills are between a 2 and 3. I tried it when i was young. Love it. Never did it again, but would love to start DIY-ing some fun stuff for my kiddos.
Sabra says
SEW ME!
I am about a 2. I have been wanting to learn for a long time!
Donna says
Sew Me! I’m an 8
Jessica says
Sew me! I’m a 5 or 6, but I know this would push me to at least 7… :o)
Jen says
SEW ME!
I am barely a 1…I can barely sew on a button!
Karen W. says
SEW ME! Or really, so NOT me, lol! Sewing and knitting push me near the edge, but if this is the simplest machine to use, maybe it will save me from potential self harm :)
Devin says
SEW ME!
My sewing skills are probably a 3. Not bad for a guy I guess. I only ever sew Halloween costumes, I leave the rest to my wife.
Rachael Poor says
SEW ME!
I’m a wonky bag 3. For sure.
Christine says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 4… but this machine would definitely bump me up to at least a 6!
Kelli says
SEW ME!
I would say I am anywhere from a 2-4, depending on the day and my patience level.
Peggy says
SEW ME!
I have no sewing skills, however, my daughter is becoming a sewing champ and I’d love to gift her an awesome machine!
Maria says
I’d say… 4. Which means I can quite beautifully sew patches onto my husband’s pants – he’s a carpenter and keeps ripping his clothes on nails and stuff – but I often end up using my unstitcher after I’m done with patching because I keep on sewing his pockets shut…
Maria says
sorry, forgot to add:
sew me! =)
Katie Mae says
SEW ME!
I actually don’t even sew….My sister in law takes a sewing class at the local community college every Monday and this beauty would make an awesome present!
Nina says
I already own a sewing machine, so i’ll leave the prize for some other lovely reader. Just thought I’d answer the bonus question as I recently moved up a notch to a 5/6 after sewing my first summer dress from a pattern.
rachel says
SEW ME! I would clock in around 2.5. I’m not a great sewer but I’d like to learn so I can get into more upholstering projects, or maybe I should just start with hemming my curtains…
Kristy says
SEW ME!
Although I’m currently a 2 on the sewing spectrum, I have major unrealized aspirations to become proficient. Learning to sew is a perennial favorite on my New Years resolution list…this is the year I make it happen!
Jen says
SEW ME!
I’m about a five. I grew up learning to embroider and sew Barbie clothes under the supervision of my grandmother. She taught myself, 2 sisters and 4 cousins all at once.
Lisa Martin says
SEW ME! On a really good day, I consider myself between a 7-8. My current sewing machine is 30+ years old so I could use a new one!
Heidi P. says
SEW ME!
I think I’m somewhere between a 5 and a 6 – I can sew anything basic, and I’ve been known to make up things without a pattern.
Jamie says
SEW ME! I’m marginally competent with a sewing machine, but my mom is an absolute master. With this machine, maybe some of her skills would rub off on me!
Jolie says
SEW ME! I can sew by hand but would enjoy learning to use a machine.
Katie says
SEW ME!!
Im learning.. and this would surely help ;p
Magdalena says
SEW ME!
I think I am 1 or 2 … 2 sounds about right!
Erin says
SEW ME!!!
I can’t sew at all, but I have always wanted to learn. An easy to use sewing machine would give me a great start.
