***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…

manali says
I have aspirations for projects that range as high as 8 or 9, but sadly my skills rank around a 1 or 2.
Sameera says
SEW ME!
I would e a 2 on this scale, going on 3.
Bekah M. says
SEW ME!!! I’d say I’m a very confident 7 :) currently working on my first quilt :)
Alison says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a beginner seamstress…maybe a 2? Straight lines are my forte! I have been learning on a 35 year old sewing machine and I would love a brand new one!!!!
Willow says
SEW ME!
Shannon says
Sew Me….I’m probably a 6. I figure out what I want to do, and do it, but I can’t read a pattern to save me. I just make my own and wing it.
Krystal says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m a 1. I could maybe sew a sock or something, but I’d be more apt to just buy more! I’ve sewed a button on, I think.
Elisa says
SEW ME!
I think I’m about a 4. I can sew stuff, just not the way it is supposed to be done!
Maria says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1! But I want to learn!
Caitlin says
SEW ME! 0! buy i think i could be a 3 with a little time.
Jemma says
SEW ME! I’d probably rank myself at about a 3. I’ve had fun using my mum’s old sewing machine to make curtains and cushions, but I’m yet to venture into doing anything other than a straight stitch, haha! (Also, Sherry should give herself more credit, the little ottoman that she made for Clara was amazing!)
Jen says
SEW ME!
I think I would be about a 7 but it is entirely possible that I think higher of myself than is warranted :)
Jeni says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 1.5, but my mom is at least an 8 and used to make all our clothes when we were little, so I would request lessons stat if I had a machine.
Caitlin says
SEW ME! 1!
charissa says
Sew ME! I’m definately a 1
Emily says
Sew me! I’m about a 3… I’m not scared of the sewing machine, but it’s been a long time since I used one since I don’t have one available.
Martha says
Sew me!
I am a total 0 but I’m hoping this year ill get a sewing machine for Christmas! :) I just had a baby girl and there’s sew much to make and sew little time!!! lol
cynthia says
Sew Me!…Please. My sewing skill is probably better than a one but not close to a 10…maybe 5-ish…
Meredith says
SEW ME!
I’m a 5 or a 6 – simple clothes, curtains, pillows and costumes are great, but I haven’t taken on anything more complex involving zippers or pleats!
Stacey says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely with Sherry on this one – a 3! (Crossing fingers and toes on this contest!)
Alana says
SEW ME!!
I’d say I’m a 4! I worked in a seamstress shop when I was 16, and sometimes think I remember more than I claim not to!
Frances Klein says
Sew Me!!!
I am a three. I made a tshirt quilt and pillows but that’s as far as I go
Janke says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a very solid -5.
I’ve been wanting to learn how to sew forever but unfortunately I have the attention span of a toddler and nobody around me to teach either. But I would looooove to learn it. Somehow. Sometime. Maybe with this wonderful new machine!
Christina C says
SEW ME!
Crystal says
Sew Me!
im probably a 2 and a 3 on a good day… I have actually made a (wonky) shopping bag in the past, like 10 years ago in high school so i think im dreaming when i say a 2 on a good day :P
Amanda L. says
SEW ME!
I would rate myself at a 4. I have sewn some things using patterns, created a few things on the fly, and have taken a couple of classes.
Caroline Moore says
SEW ME!!!! I’d say I’m about a 3 on the scale…Give me something that requires sewing a straight line, and I’m your woman for the job! Anything else, and I ask my mom to do it for me. But I feel like with a fab machine like this, I’d definitely become a 7-8 easily. :)
Deborah Nowland says
SEW ME!! I guess I am a 10. I would use this to teach my granddaughters. Sure wish my daughter was more interested, but it looks like it might have to skip a generation…
Antonia says
SEW ME!
I’m… a two at most, closer to a one, to be quite honest. I learned sewing in primary school (by hand, not with a machine), but given that it was primary school, you can imagine that the level wasn’t particularly high — and then I just never really got around to it ever again, which is sad.
Micaela says
SEW ME!
2.5
Meagan says
Sew me! I’d say I’m a 5, would definitely like to up that number with this sewing machine!
Jenn says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely rock in’ a straight line, but lookin’ to learn more!
Jen says
Sew Me!
Solid 3
niksoap says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 3.5. My straight lines are excellent!
Rachel K says
SEE ME! I reckon I’m a 2. So excited to see an international giveaway, fingers crossed!!
Lyndsay says
SEW ME! I’m a 3 maybe a 4! I’ve made a bag to hold my clothes pegs in when I’m hanging my washing on the line outside but it’s very wonky!
Rachel K says
Oops I meant SEW ME! Obviously!
Sona Jacob says
SEW ME!
I’d be a 5-6! I sew a lot – bags, clothes for my son, clothes for my nieces, clothes for me, home stuff – pillows, curtains, etc… but I have lots more to learn. Some of the sewing skills of people whose blogs I read are super and I’d definitely like to get there!
SAGirl says
SEW ME! I am about a 3.5 I love sewing but mostly do hand sewing. I haven’t sewn childrens clothes but I love making dolls clothes for my daughter’s dolls. Lets just say that it is a perfect excuse to still be able to play Barbies! Chanelle
Katrin says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 4 or 5 – I love to sew but the results mostly just turn out ok…
Milui says
SEW ME!
I’d say something like a 4 or maybe 5 – I’ve done some pretty cool things sew-wise, but maybe I just got lucky.
Ambriss Rembulat says
SEW ME!
I am definitely a 1. I’ve seen friends sewing before but I have no clue how to sew anything but I’ve been wanting to learn for the longest time.
Nina says
Sew me!
I’d say I’m a 7, maybe 8 on a good day and with a machine that is working!
dushyle says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4, I guess. Still have a lot to learn…
Sophia Kakoulli says
SEW ME!
I’m self taught but i’ve gone far the last 10 years…! so i would say i’m an 8. but my great aunty’s sewing machine is busted im afraid and this singer would be great.
Annelies says
SEW ME !
I’m a total beginner, but just started lessons with a lovely old lady so I might rank a lot higher soon :)
Silke says
SEW ME !
Aaaaaah an international give-away! WoopWoop!
I am about a 7 or an 8, have been taking evening classes sewing for about 3 years now so I know my way around the sewing-stuff. I am so excited to win this beauty! Thanks Petersiks!
Crystal says
SEW ME!
I would say I average an 8, I haven’t come across anything I couldn’t sew yet but there is always more to learn.
jeff says
Sew me!
Carrie Dunne says
Sew me! I am about a 5 1/2. I can sew, but I HATE to follow directions. And that’s where I get into trouble.
