Well, I could replace my wool socks or mend them and put the money towards groceries and gasoline. Since I'm not over the sticker shock of the price of buttons, let alone the price of celery, I opted to mend.
I cut up a wool cardigan sweater that accidently shrunk over a year ago and made patches for the heels of my wool socks. A little hand stitching while the sock was fitted over a light bulb and it was good as new. I have a couple more pairs of socks that can use some TLC, hopefully over the weekend.
Stay Safe and Happy Sewing!
The fun part is finding a lightbulb...luckily I saved a few after we replaced them all with twirly ones. Now the led bulbs are coming in shaped more like the old lightbulbs, us menders should be ok.
