They used a different tool but similar to what your vintage ones are. I never was taught to darn, but wish I had been. I have 4 boys and it's not as easy for me to just buy them new socks or clothes. Now I'll have to find me the tool and take the tutorial. I think it'll be fun to learn.

Love all your nostalgia posts. I am really trying to get caught up, can you tell? By the time I do, you'll be done. I'll miss them. It's been so fun and i know you've put a lot of work into them.
