How to sew ballet flats from a ready pair of shoes?

In order to independently master the manufacturing process, you must first get acquainted with the design of the shoes. You can take an old pair of ballet shoes and try to disassemble it into parts. If there is no suitable option or it is a pity to disassemble your favorite thing, you can buy slippers or ballet shoes in a cheap boutique, which are suitable for visual aids.

Required Materials

Consider the list of necessary materials and items that may be needed in the process of disconnecting the visual aid:

• To learn how to sew ballet shoes, you need to have a sample of shoes that can be disassembled into the component parts. A visual sample of shoes makes it possible to make your own adjustments and come up with a number of individual, comfortable models that will be unique and unrepeatable.
• When examining a visual sample of shoes, you will need an ordinary pen. On the details of shoes, which will be cut out, you need to make a mark with a pen. You might also need a simple pencil or a bright marker.
• Also, the process involves the presence of sharp objects. The use of knives, screwdrivers, spatulas makes it possible to disassemble a visual sample of shoes for composite parts with the least damage to their structure.
• There must be a first aid kit. Doing an unusual procedure, you should always have at your fingertips necessary medicines, such as cotton wool, bandage, iodine or a similar antiseptic. The presence of the first aid kit helps you to provide yourself with the necessary help in case of an unexpected cut.
• Protective gloves are also required. When working with sharp objects, it is advisable to work in special gloves for reliable protection against possible scratches and cuts.
• Personal protective equipment also includes safety glasses. Sometimes, performing the decomposition of the ballet flask into the component parts, you need to spend a lot of effort, in which there is a situation where any small fragment accidentally can get into your eyes. In such cases, goggles are needed to protect the eyes from unwanted damage.
• Large sheets of paper. If you need to design large sizes of ballet, then to build a pattern using paper. If the size of the paper is not sufficient to create a pattern, then gluing several small leaves is used. As a result, the required patterns must fit well on the selected sheet of paper.
• It is necessary to prepare several types of scissors. Small sharp scissors are very convenient for cutting parts along seams. Large - used for cutting parts.
• It is very convenient to use a camera that would help with the items to compose a photoreport of the disassembly process of a visual sample of shoes, as this will simplify the process of reverse assembling in the future. Also, you can always see how the finished ballet flats should look, and you will not have to remember how it was in the beginning. You can take pictures of shoes from different angles.

Important! The disassembly process must be carried out with one ballet, the second - should remain unchanged. In this case, a complete picture of the entire base of the sample shoes is visible. You can also compare the location of the figure of the cloth in a visual aid. Thus, it is possible to check all the work and be sure of avoiding mistakes when constructing a pattern.

You need to select the brightest marker, and you can start drawing on ballet.

How to apply labels to sew the ballet flats with your own hands:

1. First you need to mark the points of the joining parts.
2. Then draw the edge of the sole on the outside of the selected fabric.
3. Remove the sole from the fabric.
4. Draw a line on the inside of the heel of the shoe that runs along the seam.
5. Extend the line on the sole of the shoe.

Important! If you remove the sole, then at the top edge should be visible back seam and border marking. It is necessary to try as much as possible to apply lines on corners and on points of a joint. This procedure will be very useful when you have to make the first ballet shoes yourself.

Try not to lose sight of the line, which visually shows the point of the joint of the inside with the sole. If you use the camera, it is not always possible to trace this line in the image, but in any case it is there. You can try to arrange your own tags yourself, so that later it would be much easier and more convenient to understand them.

Disassembly slipper

It is best to deal with the procedure for parsing the shoe on the component parts after a good rest so that you can concentrate on such a responsible process. After the completion of this work, you will be unspeakably happy that for a visual aid it is enough to disassemble only one slipper.

In the process of disassembling the ballet flats on the component parts it is necessary to follow such advice:

• To separate the sole, you need to use something thin and sharp - a spatula, scraper or screwdriver.
• Having started the process of disassembly, you need to thoroughly feel the slippers and find the weakest place from which you can start.
• We need to work very carefully not to damage the fabric of the product, because we still need the undamaged material to build the required pattern.

How to properly disassemble slippers to make ballet shoes with your own hands:

1. Apply the spatula slowly, slowly separating the upper part from the sole. This procedure must be performed at a time.

Important! If necessary - you need to use different types of scissors, so that it would be more convenient to open the seams of the shoe, which is used as a visual aid.

1. Separate the details of the sole, insole and side of the slipper. If necessary, you need to cut the deformed fabric to straighten the cut and carry out the procedure for transferring it to paper.

Working on pattern

Algorithm for working with pattern:

1. We lay out the top part of the ballet on the prepared sheet of paper.
2. We circle the slippers with a simple pencil, if possible, we fix all the marks that were previously marked.
3. Having folded a sheet, find and mark the center line on the pattern.
4. Add 1 cm of allowance in the places where the sole is attached. On the heel, add 0.5 cm to make a seam. In the inner perimeter of the insole, you need to add 1 cm.
5. You can mark the labels for alignment.
6. All parts of the pattern must be inscribed and labeled the right or left segment, the inner part or the outer one. In addition, it is necessary to note the middle of the toe and heel.

In this way a personal pattern is constructed.

Important! If it has a lot of clumsy working moments, you can copy it to a clean version and correct it.

It remains to be decided with the choice of fabric, which is necessary for making the very first pair of handmade ballet. This is how the birth of a new pair of shoes occurs, and if you come up with an original design, then this model can largely surpass the store version.

How to sew ballet flats for dancing?

In order to make dance ballet dancers, you need to remember a few simple rules:

1. To make ballet dancers, first of all, you need to choose the right fabrics from which the ballet shoes will be made:
   1. The material for the upper part of the ballet can be approached by structuralFabrics that have a beautiful drawing of the desired color scheme. In this case, when choosing, there are restrictions in which the selected fabrics should not slide, but must withstand friction and not form puffs.
   2. Cotton fabrics are ideal for lining, which due to their natural qualities are hygienic enough.
   3. The outer insole can be selected from coarse natural leather.
   4. Any textile fabric is suitable for the inner insoles.
2. Before you start making ballets with your own hands, you need to perform the procedure for cutting dance shoes, and the curves for the right and left parts of the ballet are identical. We need to find two top positions, two lining details, two inner and two outer insoles.

Important! When cutting the upper part and the lining, we need to add allowances for seams of about 1 cm to all sections.

1. With the width of the seam 1 cm, we remove the rear sections of all four parts of the upper positions and pads.
2. After that it is necessary to press all allowances.
3. The upper position of the ballet is joined together with the lining, and the face sides must be inside.
4. We cut the upper sections and sharpen the seams 1 cm wide.
5. We cut the grooving seam allowances with a scissor to a size of 5 mm, while making an incision at the roundings at a distance of 1.5 mm from the stitch.
6. We turn our parts face-down.
7. After this, straighten and make a stitching.
8. From the fabric from which we sew the top of the ballet, we make the edge with a size of 1.5 mm.
9. We cut the prepared elastic band 9-10 cm in size.
10. Using a zigzag, we apply the elastic band to the lining of our ballet in the area of ​​the stitching in the heel area. At the same time, stretch the braid slightly. This procedure favors the fitting of the shoe from behind to the leg.
11. Finishing stitching we make the stitching along the upper edge of the dancing ballet, then the seam should be about 5 mm. The elastic tape with this procedure must be stretched again.
12. Next, we stitch a line that connects the top position of the ballet and the lining of our manufactured shoes with a distance of 5 mm from the bottom sections of the product.

Making the sole

In the process of making dance ballets with your own hands, special attention should be given to the firm and high-quality fastening of the sole:

1. The inner part of the sole should be inserted inside the workpiece of the dance ballet.
2. Throughout the contour of the lower cut of the product, glue the ballet stock onto the sole in a section of 1 cm. For this procedure, it is necessary to use rubber or nitric glue, which perfectly connects the parts without excessive stiffness.
3. Put the shoes under the press to let it dry completely.
4. We use the outer bottom insole of the leather material to completely glue the glue and glue it to our sole. In this case, it is necessary to cover the allowances of dance ballet by 1 cm.
5. After that, you need to put the ballet shoes under the press until it dries completely.

Important! To strengthen the sole, you can also add a line with a distance of 5 mm from the lower sections of the product along the contour of the insole. Not every household sewing machine can perform this operation and sew such a thickness of a ballet. It is necessary to apply an awl and thick nylon thread, and in the manual version, to sew around the contour of our dance ballet flats.

Our ballet dancers are ready! It remains to sew and decorate them with ribbons and other decor elements.

We hope that the information you received was enough for you to begin the process of developing the design of new "crochets", because actually making ballet shoes with your own hands is not so difficult.
