Jopie Huisman 4/5

These knickers have been mended dozens of times. To me, they're the most moving item of clothing I ever found in the rags. 

She always tried to mend them with yarn that as far as possible matched the colour of the knickers themselves. 

But then, when she became a widow - meaning that nobody was going to see her knickers but her - she stopped worrying about the colour. As you can see from the yarn she used for darning after that.
