Great tools! I'll be looking out for some of these, especially the mending mushrooms and the little weaving machines. Ps: We used a lightbulb to mend socks.
get the head of it under the hole youre fixing, pull the fabric taught over it and secure with a hairtie. hold or otherwise secure the "stalk" of the mushroom. it holds your fabric curved instead of flat which means that its better for darning (closer to how the fabric actually sits). you can do something similar with the sides of a can or your body. not necessary, just nice!
My mom taught us how to mend sock’s using cups or 💡 lightbulbs
Thank you for showing us your darning mushroom alternatives! Very informative video
A Lacrosse ball works great too!
My mother used to use a boiled egg to mend my socks 😃
Wow!

Lightbulbs are much more common than I thought they would be as mending tools!
Thanks for this! Do you have the items in a list anywhere? I wasn’t able to take notes thru out
