***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!
Maybe a 3 or 4? But only with hand-stitching. I’m learning how to use a machine (I want to make curtains!). I mostly do mending these days, although I made a pretty rockin’ stuffed buffalo in 7th grade Home Ec!
Mike says
SEW ME!
I can’t sew at all. And have no desire to. But I know my wife would love this machine!
Hera says
SEW ME! I’m probably somewhere between a 1 and 3 now. Sadly, I used to sew when I was in junior high.
Christine Corbitt says
SEW ME!! Is 0 an option? I learned how to sew in High School…SEW long ago, have not touched a machine since then!! I have a picture of me in a pair of pants I made!( bell bottoms:)
Ashley says
Sew me …… A 5. I can stitch a straight line ( most of the time) and I finally figured out how to fix tension, but there is certainly room to grow.
Meghan T says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5 or 6. I’ve made my fair share of skirts and cushion covers. I did make my own prom dress in high school with the help of my mom however, if I remember correctly, I attempted to sew it and she had to tear it out and do it right. Right now I’m sewing on my grandma’s ancient Singer which is impossible to thread and doesn’t have a reverse button. I think it would make a better antique display item than my primary sewing machine. :)
donna c says
Sew me! I actually do custom sewing for an interior designer with my mom (my mom is awesome, BTW). But I’m terrible at the machine part and make most of the patterns, and do the cutting out and prep work, and hand sewing. Sewing machines and I don’t get along. I don’t even have one of my own. This could change all that. :)
Tracy B says
“SEW ME!” I would rate my sewing skills a 2. -I would have given myself a one, except for the fact that I stitch up my pugs’s (puggies?) toys. -I like to call it preforming surgery.
marisa says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1, but I would love to learn!!
Camille says
Sew me!!! I’m about a 6. My sewing skills have improved considerably over the last couple of years. This year I made my first messenger bag, which I’m using for graduate school. Pretty proud of myself!
Lauren says
SEW ME!
I’m about a four. I am great at sewing by hand and would love to teach myself on a sewing machine. I have about twenty different projects around the home that I would like to tackle with a sewing machine. I hope I am the lucky winner!
Taryn says
SEW ME!
I think I’m a 2. It would be great to learn.
Mindy says
SEW ME PLEASE!!!!! I sew constantly but opted to get a new serger instead of a sewing machine. I’d love to replace mine. Funny thing, I was just going to get started on my daughter’s Christmas dress but decided to check my google reader and you’re post before getting started. Maybe it was fate.
Chelley Black says
Sew me! I’m about a 9. Mama needs a new machine!
Leah says
SEW me!
I’m around a 5. I took a sewing class when I was 12 and learned to make all sorts of things-pajamas, shorts, and scrunchies (back when they were all the rage).
Megan says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 2, but used to be a 3 when I had access to a sewing machine. Wonky pillows are my fave.
Michelle says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3 or 4. I can sew things with straight lines but not much else (think curtains and pillow covers)
Lisa says
Sew me! I’m a 1, sadly. My husband brought a 30 years old sewing machine into our marriage (not kidding) and he is a solid 3 I’d say :)
It would be awesome to have a new and functioning one and also to be your first European winner :))
Love from Germany

Meaghan S. says
SEW ME!
How about a -1? I think the last time I sewed was in middle school Home Ec class, and it didn’t turn out well. My husband has tried to teach me to sew a button but that skill has clearly not been retained.
Amy B says
Sew Me!!!! I would say a 4…I can sew simple stuff and straight lines but nothing too fancy!!!!
Emily says
SEW ME!
I’ll say i’m a 7. I’ve been sewing for about 8 years, completely self-taught, but have so much more to learn!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I’m with Sherry and around a three, but I’ve been practicing:) I would love the chance to try out my latest project, a t-shirt quilt on a new machine.
Rachel says
SEW ME! I’m a complete sewing new-bie, but I’d love to learn!
Jessica says
SEW ME! if zero is not a choice then I am a 1!
Lynne Carothers says
SEW ME! Oh please … oh please! I’m sending strong vibes! lol
Charity says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 1 1/2, but I would love to have this machine. A sewing machine was going on my Christmas list, but there are so many other things I need. It would be a nice bonus to win! Thanks for the Fab Freebie drawing!
Regina McClenny says
SEW ME!

Chitra says
Sew Me!

Marla says
SEW ME!
I’m a 5 for skill and a 3 for attitude. (I’m not too happy when I have to rip out a mistake. I’ve made a couple of quilts, some chair covers, a duvet cover & some curtains.
Marianne says
Sew me! I’d rate myself a 5. I’m not that good, but at least I know it and I’m not afraid to try new stuff. . . ;-)
Chris Cross says
SEW ME!
I am about a 7. I can sew fairly well with a pattern, but am not good at bindings, matching patterns, etc.
Colleen says
Sew Me!
I’d give myself a 6 better than the average bear but not nearly a professional!
megan w says
SEW ME!
Im a 1 — never touched a sewing machine in my life but want to learn how so badly.
Yadi says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about as good as Sherry and can make something with a pattern that would probably be rather crooked!
Jessica says
See me sew. Sew me. I’d love to try sewing.
Mia says
SEW ME.
A 1, or 2… for sure!!
Jonelle L says
Sew ME!
I’d probably rank myself a 6 or 7. I sew a lot of my clothes to make them more tailored because I have so much trouble finding clothes that fit me right. I also refashion my old clothes or thrifted items into new things. A new sewing machine would make these tasks so much easier (My current one is like 30 years old!)
Meri says
SEW ME!
I’m going to go with a 4. I’m pretty sure I would easily jump to a 6 with a machine like this! :)
Tara says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 4…my mom actually at one point a few years ago took over any project I wanted to sew so I would stop jamming up her machine. I have a very basic Singer she gave me (i.e. not much to break on it) but would love to upgrade to this one because I recently purchased fabric to make my son a quilt.
Jennifer says
SEW ME! I would like to get better! This new machine could help!
Melyssa says
SEW ME!!!
I’m a 3. I wonky but capable 3.
Kathie G says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4. I can sew a straight line, usually!
Maggie says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 6.5.
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
I’m gonna go with a 2. I once made a small pillow on my mom’s old sewing machine…the year was 1984ish. I have dreams of getting all sew-y, ala project runway, (err, more like project make-some-curtains-for-the-baby’s-room.)
Kelly says
SEW ME!!! I am probably a 4…
Judith says
SEW ME!!
I think I’m a 3-4. I can sew anything with straight lines, mend clothes, and have sown a somewhat complicated costume for myself. But having a new machine would make it all so much easier!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I give myself a 2.
jenn says
SEW ME!! I’d probably rate myself a 7…but that’s because my mom taught me to sew at age 12.
Steph says
SEW ME!
Ahhh probably about a 2?! I can make, um, pillows!
Heather says
SEW ME!!
I’m a good 3.5 and proud of it!
