Darning Pointe Shoes

[@jennytaylor3324]

Beautiful stitching. Pointe shoes are so delicious to behold!

Facinating application of the technique

By the way- you can buy darning needles with a slightly curved tip- this may, or may not, be easier than a full curve but I thought I'd mention

Thank you! This was so helpful :)

Never seen ballet shoes sewn like this.

Great video, but do have any tips for when you can’t get the needle through the satin?

[@aj_skapayjay]

What I like to do is dance on them a little bit so that the satin gets a little looser and it's easier to get the needle through!

Ok so I darn my pointe shoes but just the tip to make a stable platform. What is the purpose of darning the whole entire surface.

Just extra grip

thanks for this, but it would have been helpful if you told us what weight that thread was♥☻☺ blessings to you♥☻☺ Have a great day♥☻☺

[@jeanmeadows3921]

What thread are you using? It looks fine and gives a lovely finish compared to the thick one I have?

[@Rebecca-qn2rb]

I think it’s cotton. Anything else would be too slippery

[@valtoton2982]

Its embroidery cotton for needlework like drawn thread, embroidery and cross stitch.

What size thread are you using x
