Looking for some tips to get you started? I made this video for girls just beginning pointe work, or for the dancer who just likes watching pointe shoe videos! :)
I forgot to mention...make sure you sew the ribbons shiny side out!!
Enjoy, and check out my other videos.

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 :)

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 :).

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!
