You could get nylons mended commercially, too. As a young child in the 1950s I
remember a shop in Derby where women sat in the window working under desk
lamps, and my mother telling me that they were mending stockings.

Another bit of trivia of interest to almost no one, nylons were Mended
at least into the fifties with a very fine thread and needle binding the
edges of a run as invisibly as a handy girl could manage.
