I'll edit this quick!
Sorry, I've been sewing my sisters pointe shoes for the past few hours....
I'll update pictures soon :)
Edit:
It took me about 7 hours to complete my sisters pointe shoes...
You see, I suck at hand stitching and I try to avoid it if possible.
I'm a total perfectionist when it comes to the stitches and it took me all 7 hours to sew on the elastic and the ribbons and know it was secure.
The thing with pointe shoes is, the elastic part first has to be on the outside
(At least, that's what they want for my sisters pointe shoes)
It was a TOTAL pain!!!!!
Then we had to measure her ankle out again and finally remeasure it and fold it and stitch it.....
After that was..... the ribbons.
Seriously.
I thought the elastic was hard, try ribbons.
I had to fold about 2 1/2 cm of ribbon on the bottom and I sewed across first so it was secure like a little box shape at the end of the ribbon...
Then on the inside I had to pick on the fabric.
I couldn't go through the actual shoe or it looks ugly.
So I'm poking my finger a billion times with my needle for hours, picking at the fabric, securing it.
Here, this is how the stitches were done, at least, what I did.
It was at about 00:30 when I started the ribbon.
Anyways, here are pictures of the point shoes I sewed.
Day 31:

| The pointe shoes, the other one I already completed |

| Close up of the stitching I was working on |
 |
| Outside of the shoe... see =_= No stitches on the outside what so ever |
 |
| In the process of stitching |

| Another close up.... think I was just going over another round of stitches to make sure it was secure. |

| DONE! |
