Someone said this page was needed, so I turned a redirect into a real article. I've probably made some mistakes, so I'd appreciate a review. Zora 23:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, Zora, was just about to do a stub, but you beat me to it, and were very thorough to boot. I added some bits (more on pattern darning to come) and also incorporated the darning mushroom/darning egg stub here. I have some PD illustrations, will dig those out as well.

Gosh, 'twas me who suggested this article in the first place and didn't really believe it would be done with such relish. Much gratitude! 87.115.228.253 10:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome! Note to self: take break from History of Western fashion and write up pattern darning. PKM 02:40, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Just under tools, my mother has a darning gourd. These are dried out gourds that are pair shaped with the top cut off and the inside hollowed out. They would work the same as the egg or the mushroom i.e. they are used to stretch the fabric over and keep it taut while darning.
does something need to be said on darning needles?

- I will add both of those things - can anyone take a photo of a darning gourd? - PKM 17:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
