Mend (Noun)

Sewing that repairs a worn or torn hole (especially in a garment); "her stockings had several mends".

Nouns denoting man-made objects.

She had learned how to darn a sock as part of her sewing education and would repair mends whenever possible.
After multiple wears, her stockings had several mends in the same place due to wear and tear on her toes.
Careful owners took time to work mends in garments as opposed to constantly purchasing new clothing items.
After using this process multiple times the patches could lead to having unsightly lumps over old mends that reduced wear even more.
Sue set about using darning to place some decent-sized mends over two nasty runs and even two lesser snags before storing away.
