Beautifully said. I feel the same way. To be honest when times get tight I tend to make anything I can to save money. That was how I learned to darn. It's saved many of my favorite sweaters. And I do think it makes our families feel loved. Thanks for sharing and making me think about good things.
I'm impressed that you darn! I kind of want to learn, after watching some videos on it. And after reading my post, my husband agreed it does make him feel loved when I mend his clothes. He laughed at the thought of me teaching him to mend, really didn't believe I would try!
It's not that hard. Just takes a bit of time....it's really just weaving/sewing. LOL to your hubby. Mine tries but his thing is electronics.
