***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…

Penny says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3. I would LOVE the automatic needle threader!
Robin says
SEW ME!
I’m an experienced sewist who can make a pattern for something and sew it. I wouldn’t say I’m a 10, though. Maybe a 9 most days.
Ashley says
Sew Me! A 1… would love to learn to be a 10 like my mom!
Laura R. says
SEW ME!!
I’d put myself as a 4.5-5; I love to sew and crank out a few things that are gift worthy from time-to-time.
Missy from NoVa says
Sew me! I’m probably in the 3 range… But would love to pick up my skills with a new toy :)
Kristine says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1, but after moving into our first house in August, all I want to do is make curtains and pillows.
Nicole says
Sew Me!
I’m going to generously give myself a 2 based on an awesome pillow I made in Home Ec about 14 years ago.
Allison says
SEW ME!
I am right around a 3, maybe a 2 1/2.
Alisa says
“SEW ME!” Ability-1 Desire-10
Krista @ mk inspired says
SEW ME!
I can hand sew…a little. :/
winning this baby will boost my status! ;)
Christine says
SEW ME!!! I’m a 1.5 – 2. Unfortunately my Mom and sisters-in-law are all in the 7 & up range! Oh well. :)
Anika says
SEW ME! I would rank myself a 9. I have been sewing for quite awhile and have tackled everything from formal dresses to musical costumes, and burp cloths to quilts. So although I obviously have a sewing machine I love, I would LOVE to gift this one to a friend who recently started a small business that requires a sewing machine…she’s been using her mother’s and saving her pennies for a new one.
gisele says
sew me! I could probably make a wonky bag. I say this because I’ve made wonky skirts and wonky pants. I blame it on my sewing machine, though, which was a hand me down over 20 years ago. It was old and wonky then so I think I’ve done pretty good (and it’s time for an upgrade).
Alex W. says
Sew Me!
I can sew a pillow, but that’s about it. So… I’d give myself a 1! I’d REALLY like to learn to sew though.
Sarah says
Sew ME!
I’m probably close to a 1 but I’ve always wanted to learn
LC says
SEW ME!
I would rank myslef a 3. I can make pillows and curtains but would be very nervous to try to make a slipcover! A new sweing machine would be just the tool I would need to tackle a slipcover :)
Deb says
SEW ME PLEASE!!!!! I am about a two, but I want to jump in with both feet and make slipcovers from dropcloths for my sofa and chair!!! PLEASE with my crooked fingers, well… they would be crooked if I have to hand stitch these babies!!
Jodie says
SEW ME! Puhleeeze!
Without my mom to supervise, I’m probably a 2+. Could maybe move up to a full 3 if I could control my sweaty hands and rattled nerves. :)
Elizabeth says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a level 2. I haven’t used a sewing machine since i was a kid!
Sam M. | Atkinson Drive says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably somewhere around a 5ish? Took a beginners sewing class in high school and still dabble a bit…but, this is PERFECT because my sewing machine is on the fritz :-( no bueno.
Reginia Boling says
SEW ME :) :)
I am a 2.8
I can do a few standard things but I can freestyle too ahah
Megan says
Sew me! I’d give myself a six but I’m self taught so my technique may be ridiculous to someone who actually knows what they’re doing. I’ve made a ton of purses and starting sewing men’s wallets last year which seem pretty sturdy. A new machine would definitely help me with the new business I’d like to start up.
Carrie says
SEW ME!
I’d give myself a 3; thinking a machine that has sweet features would help bump me up a couple numbers!
Michelle says
Sew Me a beginner!
Christina says
SEW ME!
I’m probably equal to Sherry with a sewing machine, at a level 3. But, I’m terrified of sewing machines, so I end up sewing lots of things by hand. Small throw pillows-not so bad; a new slipcover for my living room sofa, however, took two weeks of nearly round-the-clock sewing. Something needs to give!
Alison says
Sew me!
I’m a 1.
MK says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3- wonky bag, here I come!
Fara A. says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 but one of the things on my bucket list is to learn to sew all sorts of pretty things! :) Love this freebie!
Kim says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 – but I’d be a zero if that were a choice. I have a 3 mo old daughter and would love to begin making things for her.
kellsey says
SEW ME! When I saw this giveaway I was ecstatic! I put one of these bad boys on my Christmas list this year, but I’m not sure the big guy will deliver (maybe if I left him worm cookies?!) Anyway, I am definitely a newbie (1) but have made it a goal to sew my heart away in 2013!
Angie T says
SEW ME!
I think I’m up to a 5 (after many years of practice). I still had to re-do the sleeves on my sons Halloween costume three times to get them right:( Maybe a fancy sewing machine would help!
Lauren Abernathy says
Sew Me!
Maybe a 3 or 4? I’ve sewn a few pillows, curtains, andnd crib bedding, but they only involved straight lines.
Ashleigh M says
SEW ME! I haven’t sewn on a machine since Home Ec class in high school but am hoping I have some hidden sewing talent that will resurface as I endeavour to make curtains for my new home!
Sara M. says
SEW ME!
I’m at best a 4 and would love to be able to hem my own pants!
Gina says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 6, maybe a 7, thanks to my photographic memory of my high school home economics classes!
lornarachel says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 – I just started learning how to use a sewing machine a few months ago – borrowing my mum’s old singer. So far I’ve made some wonky cushions and hoping to progress to straight cushions and table runners next. Would love my own little machine to learn on!
I’ve been following your blog for a few months now – thought this was a good time for my first comment!
Kimberly says
SEW ME! I am maybe around a 5-6. I made our Christmas stockings this year, and am wanting to tackle a quilt for our baby girl due in April!! I would love this!
Iskra says
SEW ME!
:)
Bethany Radcliffe says
Sew me!
I’m a 2 but a sewing machine like this could make me become a 10! (Here’s hoping….)
Jody says
SEW ME! I love sewing for my kids and our home. I’m probably about a 7 on your scale but would love to be a 10! That sewing machine would sure help :)
Nancy says
SEW ME!!
I’m probably a 4. I usually try to stick to things that just have straight seams. When I was a kid my mom made a lot of my clothes, most of my dad’s ties and lots of western-style shirts for my brother. I did not inherit that gene.
Jen Nauen says
Sew Me! I’m a one, but with a new machine, I’ll be inspired to learn more. Thanks for the possibilities!
Laura C says
SEW ME!
I’m a 7 or an 8. Some things still make me nervous–free-motion quilting or installing a zipper. Or that Amy Butler Weekender bag everyone says is so gnarly. But I can definitely churn out a lovely quilt or pillow, and passable garments.
cbedwards says
SEW ME!
Probably a 2. I do not have a sewing machine and this one looks like so much fun!
Laura Martin says
SEW ME! I’m probably a two – I’ve used a machine before, but not for many years. I’d love to work my way up and tackle some small projects around my new house!
Tamara says
SEW ME!
Brooke Roy says
SEW ME!!
I am a definite 1 but I have been hankering to get a machine & learn. My grandmother sewed all the time, & my mom sewed some. I would like to be able to at least sew a seam for curtains or hem pants more easily.
Su says
Sew me! I rank a 1.
Jennifer says
Sew Me! I’m a 1, I can sew a button or fix a hole, but want to start learning….and a sewing machine is on my Christmas list :)
Dorothy says
SEW ME!
Maybe this machine could take me from my current 1 to a 10 in sewing skills? :)
