My husbands grandmother gave me a bunch of sewing supplies when she downsized. She didn’t have much use but I snagged it all knowing it’s a valuable skill to be able to mend clothes, even just simple things. I’ve been able to mend minor things since I was younger and I’m hoping to teach my children as well. I like knowing I can at least attempt to make/mend before just throwing something away.
I still have one of these from my Grandmother.

'Sock it to me!' 😄
What is it? Ladle?
It's a darning egg for socks. They also have darning mushrooms and things. Although lightbulbs are dangerous, a plastic Easter egg or baseball bat will suffice.
With darning, you're not sewing a hole closed but actually weaving yarn to replace the missing fabric. Some say to turn the sock inside out, some don't.
Here's a video:

Hope you enjoyed the TMI you never asked for! 😄
Oh, and BTW, if you weren't aware, "Sock it to me" was Judy Carne's tag line and running gag on Laugh In. Man, I loved that show!
Oh wow. Thank you. I am so glad you sent that.
I wish I have learned to sew. My dad was an excellent tailor.
