Darning is the easiest and simplest thing in the
word-when you know how to do it.. Even the
darning egg is quite unnecessary and is rarely used
by needlewomen Of the old school, whose darning,
like the rest Of their sewing, is admirable.

It is not necessary to take up each stitch Of the

There should be no gaps anywhere, any rough
edges, when the darn is completed.

put them will find it excellent plan to save the
