***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…

SEW ME! :)
I’m definitely at a 1… I don’t really know how to sew at all but would REALLY love to learn how; my mom and grandmother sewed up storms and quilts and all sorts of things, and this would be super exciting :)
Kim says
Sew me! I can sew on a button and iron on a patch. My daughter got a child’s Singer a few years back and I had a hard time figuring it out! I would to learn to quilt someday!
Marissa says
SEW ME! I would definitely be a 1.
Erika says
Sew me! I’m probably on the Sherry-3 level. :)
Karlei says
Sew Me!
A four if someone threads the machine for me. A two if I have to try and figure that part out myself.
Tiffany says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1. Maybe 1 1/2. I’ve sewed one dress.
Keilah says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m an 8. I’ve been sewing for a few years and love to DIY my own curtains and bags and the occasional wardrobe alterations.
Linds says
SEW ME!
I can sew a wonky line, that’s about it.
Tess says
Sew me love! Oh sew me looooove….
I’m about a six but would like to take that further… I don’t have a machine and would love this one!!!
Kate says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. I somehow made a t-shirt quilt in high school, but I haven’t used my sewing machine since and I’m sure I’ve lost all skill I might have had in sewing straight lines back then.
Esme says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2 or 3. I can make pillows and curtains, but I haven’t branched out much further than that.
Laura L. says
SEW ME! I’m a 1… but really want to learn!
Emily says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 2 – this summer my mom guided me through making a pillow. Everything I did on my own turned out a little wonky though!
Audra says
Sew Me! I would definitely rank my skills at a 1 on a machine, possibly as high as a 3 for hand stitching though, but I have a lot to learn.
Michele says
SEW ME! I’d say 1 or 2 but want to get better!
Tiffany S. says
SEW ME!
In high school I made an outfit that my best friend actually WORE TO SCHOOL. It was pink seersucker which is not a fabric you should start out on.
I could maybe make a pillow now so I’d say I’m a 2.
June says
SEW ME!
I’m at about 6 now but could move up to an 8 with a new machine. Maybe!
Katie says
SEW ME!! i can replace buttons or maybe patch a hole on a seam but I look to my mom for help making curtains and throw pillows.
dana hemerl says
SEW ME!I would rank myself as a 2 or three, but thanks to pinterest I have ideas that involve me beefing up my skills.
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 1 right now
Elisabeth says
SEW ME!
I’m a 5. I can sew most anything that has a straight line, but always use a pattern and generally stay away from clothes. I really want to get better though!
Brianna says
Sew Me!
I’m about a 6 hoping to get my chops up. ;)
Wendi says
Sew me! I am most definitely a 1 but I really want to graduate to a 2 or 3!
kelly taylor says
SEW ME!
I used to sew with my mom (who is a 10!), but I don’t have my own machine and haven’t tried in years. I would love to learn again to be able to sew things for my own daughter. I guess I’m a 3 like Sherry.
Amanda G says
SEW ME!
Let’s just go for a 5 based on the few times I’ve used my mother’s machine (which is at least 35 years old).
molly says
SEW ME! I’m a 3 wannabe, but in truth I’m more like a 2. Despite this, I’m in the midst of several sewing projects currently: real roman blinds, 8 ft long curtains, and new cushion covers for some rattan chairs. I’m in over my head!
Angie says
Sew me! I’d say I’m a three or four. I can follow a pattern, but it’s been years since I’ve tried.
bethany says
SEW ME!!!!
i’m about a 4 or 5… can sew a straight line very well :)
Angela says
SEW ME! Probably a 3… I could make something wonky but definitely not reliable!
Leigh Ann says
SEW ME! I’m a 2… I’ve seen it done a lot (my mom is a good 8, & I can pin and make a seam, but can never thread the machine myself, LOL!)
eileen g says
SEW ME! somewhere around a 5
Monica says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4-ish . . . I did a lot of costuming during high school and college theatre, but haven’t really done much since. And now I’m trying to make my own wedding gown! Well, my mother and I are doing it together (bonding, right?) so we’ll see how that goes!
Nancy says
SEW ME! I am probably a 2. I use to sew a lot of things…curtains, kids clothes and I actually made a sundress once upon a time but I don’t think I would ever wear it again! I would love to have a new machine to teach my kids some basics.
sarabean says
sew me!
I would be a one, but a sewing machine is on mine and my husband’s Christmas list – we want to learn together!
sarah & john says
“SEW ME”
I made pillow once then I forgot how I did that. I would consider that to be “room for improvement” on the continuum.
Vicky L. says
SEW ME!
A 1-2 at best, but would love the equipment to practice. Any piano giveaways in the future?..id love to learn that too haha.
Chel says
SEW ME!!
I would say i am a 6-7. Not an expert, but I can sew and follow some easy patterns. I would love a new machine to help get a bit more proficient
Ali says
Sew me!
For sure a 1, with family genes on my side I should be able to achieve at least 3 with the right tools!
simona v says
SEW ME!!!! I would love to get back to sewing. In HS I worked for a little alteration shop but its been a while since I used a machine. I would say I am a 4. This would be such an awesome opportunity for me to work on my home and not break the bank. You guys are amazing!
SarahW says
Sew Me! I’m probably around an 8…I looove to sew!
sarah says
SEW ME! I’m good (if not the neatest) at hand sewing, but using a machine well is on my list of things to learn. I can do a straight seam with a sewing machine, but trouble-shooting and adjusting tensions and anything other than straight lines are beyond me. I’d love to have a new and more intuitive machine to practice on!
Nicole says
Sew Me!
I am NOT a master sewer (probably a 1 or a 2!) at all but I’m learning. I did make a very cute dress for my 1 year old!
Christy says
SEW ME! Holy cow! What a great give-away. I would probably rank myself a 3 (or an 8 if my mom is there to secretly correct my mistakes when I’m not looking).
suzanne rushing says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 0, seriously want to learn how to sew simple stuff! I just need to start ;)
Cayla says
SEW ME!!
I’m a 0 but I have been wanting to learn for a long time. My house needs curtains!
Juliana says
SEW ME! I am definitely at level 1… but, would love to be a 3 sometime soon :)
RONDA says
SEW ME! I’m probably between a 2 and 3 depending on what I’m attempting to sew!
Katie @ Domestiphobia.net says
Sew me! I’m a 1. That’s why I need this.
Erin says
SEW ME!
I have to say I’m definitely a 1 (if not a 0.5!) I finally pulled out my old sewing machine for the first time since I got it, about 8 years ago (couldn’t figure it out then…). My husband had to show me how to get started!
Lmc says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 1.5, maybe a 2. Have been wanting to learn to sew for a looong time!
