Needless to say I am looking for ways to use old worn sox, any ideas? I have bags full. They're all white short crew sox.
I knew a lady who repaired the holes, by putting the sock over a light bulb and sewing a sock patch on. It worked!
My Dad used to do that with the light bulb. he learned it in the navy during WWII. He wouldn't let Mom darn his socks because she didn't do it right. lol I bet that didn't break her heart.
