The One Important Science of Embroidery : The American Stocking Darn 1830 to 1930 as Historical Document | Winterthur Portfolio: Vol 59, No 1
Proposing a new structured study under the term “critical mending,” this article examines stocking darning and the properties of a darn through traditional archival research and practical, hands-on analysis of surviving mended hosiery. Applying critical mending on two collections of American stockings that span a hundred years reveals implications of virtue and poverty and the necessity of textile evidence to better understand historical and cultural context. Focusing on the heavily darned silk stockings of Stephen Girard (1750–1831) and Estella Doerr Haase (1896–1994), the author uncovers private and personal aspects of stocking darning and reveals the technological expertise and artistry involved in a mend. The mend’s immediacy and pragmatism show the living hand as no schoolroom exercise can, and when contextualized the intricate science of the mend becomes apparent.

Mending Survey: please fill out!
Mending Survey: please fill out!
Hello dear Mender, This survey is for my research generally, but also--urgently!-- for a paper in an academic journal due in a second. Please answer any questions that apply, or that you have time for. None is compulsory. All answers are confidential. I will use data and phrases anonymously in academic contexts only. I am particularly interested in mending as a paid service, and also about teaching the skills, but would love your thoughts even if you do not charge or teach yourself. Write as much or as little as you like. Long form answers with any amount of detail are very welcome. I am documending this interesting time in the development of the modern mend. I have NOT made email compulsory, because then you'd have to sign into Google, but I would very much appreciate you adding yours; then I may potentially contact you for permission to quote you, or for further info. Your name is also optional, and just for me! Thank you ever so much --Kate Sekules
