[MyPointeDreams]

I never thought of doing the whip stitch I was just going to do a bunch of straight stitches. Thanks!

[thatchaoticart]

Thanks so much for posting! I last took ballet 7 years ago and I'm starting up again - and I never sewed on the elastics before! What was I thinking? Anyway, this was super helpful - thanks again!

[naothan1]

This video really helped me a lot. I've watched this video at least five times

[EJayS79]

Use dental floss instead of thread it's super strong and won't break as easily

[SaviourVv]

very pleasant voice and great tips!

[DaNcEx3JoNaS]

I sew the elastic on the outside of the shoe bc if it's on the inside it will rub against ur heel and blisters!!!

[s3rvana]

I admire your sewing skills, this is a vegreat video that I think everyone [with pointe shoes] should watch!

[mrsnickjonas4evas]

do you have arias??



[mrsnickjonas4evas]

haha i remember the first time i sewed my shoes i made like, every mistake possible. haha it was horrible. i sewed the ribbon shiny side in, i sewed it too far forward, too far backward, i sewed through the outside of the shoe. oh goodness it was a disaster :)

[allyolsen]

@mrsnickjonas4evas omgsh me too! haha oh man that made me laugh :) yes, in this video I was using my Arias.

[mrsnickjonas4evas]

@allyolsen awesome! i just got some and i am using them for the first time tonight!

[AleMayaOM]

youre so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute :) thank you!!

[ninymph0]

thx for making this video. i was completely clueless on how to do my daughter's shoes but you made the process so much easier. :o)

[xWathy]

Hi, could you maybe show us, how to embroider the point of the point shoes? So the Satin doesn't rip?

Sorry for my English. I'm from Germany :).

[xWathy]

@xWathy I mean how to darn pointe shoes.

[allyolsen]

@xWathy Hi, I'd love to! Problem is...I've never done it! Try searching on the google website for help :)

[apatheticethylene]

@xWathy I'm probably late, but for mine, I put something called "mole skin" on them. I bought the Dr. Scholl's kind. I traced the box/top of the shoe and then made a little rectangle on one side. Peel the paper off so the sticky side is there, then stick it onto the box. The rectangle part you drew should be stuck on the bottom side, with the leather sole. If you get a good quality brand (I'm not sure if there is Dr.Scholl's in Germany) of mole skin it should last for a very long time.

[tutus4life]

@xWathy it's really easy. just cut off the satin from the platform and you can use the same stitch she used, or you can use the darning stitch and sew around the rim of the platform

[xWathy]

You really look like Ashley Greene...

[SuperRinney]

This helped a lot thanks !

[missayla3]

Are you wearing those Lady Gaga contacts? Your eyes look really cool hahaha

[allyolsen]

@missayla3 lol no thanks though. Lady Gaga rocks!

[iluvdance2233]

thanks this was really helpful! my ballet teacher said you could also use dental floss to sew the ribbons and elastic on because it's a lot stronger than thread.

[girl20008]

I don't like my Elastics outside because it make it looks ugly

[ElijahJohnSanders]

I agree with Matt! Wonderful video, very educational, lol. Your awsome Allisa and Matt!!!

[THEDRUMMERMATT]

I now think that I could (if I had to) successfully sew ribbons on to my pointe shoes! btw this is matt if you didn't get that already
