November 20, 2017 November 21, 2017 Gayle Stone Leave a comment So the time has come, winter is creeping in! Dark nights, snuggling by the fire, time for bed socks and cups of cocoa, time to dig out the old woolly jumpers and cardigans… time to dust off the moth balls!
Those little monkeys wriggle in and lay eggs in the summer and can very quickly set to work on your natural fibres. They will even have a little nibble on your synthetics! Ugh!
Fear not. This is not the intro to a horror story. There is no need to freak out, help is at hand, why not try ‘eking out’ (see what I did there) instead? Don’t just sling them in a bag and charity shop them, all is not lost. I have repaired many a moth-eaten garment with a needle and thread and my trusty old darning mushroom or embroidery hoop.
