Make do and mend, right?
A childhood friend of mine (whom I wished remained in only my memory) once saw me darning a wool sock. She asked me what I thought I was doing - "darning the hole in this sock," I replied. "Why don't you just throw it away? You can buy those for, like, 3 bucks at American Eagle." :eusa_doh:
Its so easy to just throw it out and buy something new these days. In WWII, that wasn't an option if you didn't want to be naked all the time. Personally I believe in making full use of things, and if not, passing them on to someone who can.
