Help: due to hand Injury: little job: someone to sew on pointe shoe ribbons

[Casella]

Does anyone know of anyone able to sew pointe shoe ribbons? I badly injured my thumb joint, and my right hand is going to be unusable for awhile. I would be willing to pay someone a modest fee to do this for me ? I can provide thread, needle, ribbons...I need this done ASAP for workshops/classes. It should take very little time to do for the able-handed !

Where are you?

 

Do any of the dance shops around you offer this service? or would friends/dance mums at dance class be able to  help? 

 

Good luck and hope your hand gets better soon xx

Hi, and thanks v much for your quick reply. I''m in Ladbroke Grove. and get to Central (SB) and dance studios in the West End;. didn't think of asking dance shops--I kind of think they don't offer this, but I'll ask. As far as friends go, they all really hate having to sew shoes, even for themselves, so I haven't asked.-- I'm not around any dance mums.  Thanks for the kind suggestion and sympathy.

DD sews her own... she’s always so chuffed that she did it herself. She pins the ribbons first to keep them still, and then sews. The first pair weren’t mega neat, but she’s never had a ribbon come off.

Hmm ... if the dance shops in town don't offer this, maybe you could put a plea on Facebook? Maybe a mum of a younger student might be willing to help? 

 

Sadly I'm in Yorkshire, so not much help! X

Thanks to both. I do think it gives a sense of achievement to get ribbons sewn in well  sadly these Gaynor Mindens are hard as metal to get a needle through.! Not much fun at the best of times.
