Darning means remembering my Aunt Ruthie darning my Uncle Sidney’s socks. I loved sewing so I was absorbed by it. She must have made it look simple because every time I had a sock to mend I’d refuse instruction, thinking it was so easy I took it on myself. The truth be told I was terrible at darning and without my aunt around I had no one to ask for help. So, here I am, years and years later with favorite worn through socks and sweaters. I’m encouraged I have found the instruction I need. Help!
What special memories, and how beautiful that you are making your way back to darning so many years later. I hope you’ll be able to give new life to your much loved garments.
