DARNING INSTRUCTIONS
At Socko we're on a mission to re-teach the lost art of darning, helping you on your way to a more sustainable wardrobe through mending. We run workshops but for those more confident with a needle and thread looking for a simple refresher, you're in the right place. Follow the steps below and we would love to see how you get on! #darnsocko
Start by sewing a loose horizontal running stitch wide of the hole. Alternate rows in a brick pattern. When you reach the hole, carry the thread across and continue in pattern on the other side. |
|
Once wide of the other side of the hole, start to sew the same pattern vertically, weaving in and out of your horizontal stitches. |
|
Continue until you have a neat patch. Experiment with colours and working on the inside and outside of your garment. |
