Tips On Darning Stockings

From Modern Woman Magazine, Volume 9, Number 8, 1941, tips on repairing runs & holes on stockings. (I'm guessing they would also apply to pantyhose & other hosiery too.)

  1. Useful advice. I have actually darned my socks in the past. They were a favorite pair so I fixed them.

  2. In college I couldn't afford quality socks so I wanted to darn the pair I had. I also didn't have thread. So I used dental floss. When my mom saw them, she kept them. Then she bought me a new pair.
