[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2051468, member: 487111"] When I went looking for darning supplies -- needle and thread and an egg? -- a few years ago I couldn't find any and was told they aren't available anymore. Apparently lots of people replace socks nowadays instead of darning them. :( My mother taught me to sew but I think she was frustrated by trying -- she was a very good seamstress and could do things like bound buttonholes and smocking and lovely cutwork embroidery but I was not good at even marking darts or sewing 5/8" seams. I'm glad I remember the theory, though, and I can do hand-sewing when I need to. I can crochet, but there are no yarn shops around here anymore and I never seem to think about ordering yarn online. I need to, and start making cat toys again. [/QUOTE]
