So who does any darning these days?



I’m more old fashioned than I thought.  It was the looks of incredulity from my colleagues that greeted my comment about “finishing the pile of mending” that provided the clue.  Clearly the concept of darning socks, sewing on buttons and repairing rips is lost on most people, or those that I work with, at least.  But what does happen to damaged clothing? Surely it can’t all end up at the recycling centre after a minor mishap?  If the comments in the office are anything to go by, that’s exactly where it ends up. So much for reduce, reuse, repair, recycle!
