Hi!
I see your problem
if you can find no one to resew the costumes for you
consider a product that is called
"Liquid Stitch" 
areas too small for machine can be reached by this product
It is permanent and washable.
Ask at the sewing supply and material store or online.

Hello, all! I am in the midst of restoring a 5 foot wide wooden  
Guignol-style proscenium for my newest (widest!) puppet theatre.  I'm  hoping to have that 
job done in the next few weeks, and then one day everyone  can see it.  
But... I have some lovely little puppets to play in it who  happen to have rather 
long arms. (These are smaller puppets than I have been  using.)  I am going to 
try to extend my fingers, as it were, with tubing  in the puppet arms, but if 
that doesn't really allow good manipulation, the  arms and costumes will 
probably have to be cut and re-sewn.  Sewing is  definitely not one of my limited 
talents, and I don't have a sewing machine  which might have made the task 
easier in any event.  Is there anyone in  the New York City area who might be able 
to volunteer for seeing if the  shortening of the costume sleeves can be 
done, and, if so, doing it, or  helping me to do it?  My fear is that I will 
destroy the costumes in  which the puppets are dressed, and they are nice  costumes!

Thanks,

Sean in the Bronx
