Hi Cuties I'd like your input on these, please.

I prefer the left But both are perfect.Either would be beautiful on a Christmas tree.

I think they are lovely Meganne! I prefer the ribbon in the hole since the ribbon on the right covers up so much of the slipper. ~hugs~

Me too Abby

If I were doing the ones on the right, I'd tape the ribbons down with my paper tape. That being said, I like the ones on the left.

You could tie them into bows Jerrilyn, I thought little girls liked bows.
The other pair sew out more quickly. :-)

Depending on how the ballet slippers are going to be used, it would be nice to have both options available.

Yes I think I agree with this.

I really like both versions. I know my ballerinas would love them too.
The left ones would be great for bookmarks, ballet bag zip pull or key fobs as the ribbons would not catch. The ones on the right would look cute as a hanging decoration.

The ribbons on the right can be tied into little bows too, they're quite small.

I'm no expert on ballet shoes personally but from a personal standpoint I much prefer the display of the pair on the left. I just think that the left pair look so much neater (and since the idea is the display of a pair of ballet shoes not being worn, then the laces would be undone). But they are both beautiful as per all of your work Meganne (get out of jail free card for me....lol)

LOL!!! Thanks Dennis, laces undone is the pair on the right. LOL! :-)
I think I've decided to complete the design in both styles.
You can now pass GO and collect your $200. :-)

I like the ones on the right they look more like ballet shoes and stand out more they have sewn out lovely

I like the cleanness of the simplified & the actual 3D of the ribbons attached, though bottom line is if these are too fiddly for YOU to want to do, then holy cow can you imagine the messages for help that you will get when other less experienced stitchers try stitching them, when they tend to not read instructions or are attempting these for a first time project, those thoughts alone would make me stick to the simplified. Even offering both so people could choose, there would still likely be many messages. If you are going to make any changes I like the idea long the line that Kim suggested, a small slit on either side that people who did want the ribbons that they could add them through the slit themselves without needing to have them stitched. Hope all the different ideas actually help and not make your decision even harder. They are adorable and young and old ballerina's will love them. Pam

Yes fiddly is not my thing but then I don't like 'Inthehoop' designs at all and I did add the ribbon in the most difficult way possible, trying to hold the ribbon 'ends' under the foot when it would have been much easier to just lie a length of ribbon across the stitch areas, then cut through and remove the middle section of the ribbon. DOH!!! LOL!!!
I'll just re-map the design to make it stitch out differently.

i like the one on the right hugs ad nice work toooooooooo

Thanks Carolyn. The more I look at them the more I like them both.

One on the left for me

Thanks Sarah, It certainly is the quickest to stitch out.

Both are lovely...but I do like the "tied"...perhaps you could make a small slit or buttonhole on each side of each shoe and slide the ribbon down through from the top on one side, under and up the other side and then through the loop at the top...just spit-balling here...

hmmm, theory sounds good Kim, but the total design width is only 1.5" so it might prove to be a bit difficult to do.
Thinking on it though. Thanks for the idea.

one on left shows the beautiful shoes better!

Thanks Sandra, I may have to do both ways. :-)

Sew cute. The ones on the right look much more 3-D.

Thanks Bette, they are closer to the real item, but so, so, fiddly to attach the ribbons and not sew easy to do by hand later. I'll have to re-think them. :-)

Hi Meg, I like the one on the left it's much easier to see and do! Great job on the digitising, perfect! Love Chris

Thanks Chris, they stitched out so well but I do like 'simplified' stitchouts best. :-)

Beautiful design, do like them both but favor the one on the right with sewn in ribbon they look more real.. Marian

Such a difficult decision, I may have to re-think the stitched in version to make them easier. :-)

I like them both. The one on the left, you see the design more clearly.

That's what hubby said. I may have to do them both ways. :-)

I think they look great either way, however a bit less 'cluttered' when they are just looped through the eyelet. If it's easier that way as well, then I'd go for that...however!...I'm not now, have never been and am never likely to be a dancer, and they may well prefer having the laces more in their proper place :)

LOL!!! I love to dance but only did tap when I was young.
I really can't decide as I like them both. :-)

Wow you go girl... these for the grandgirls? Love the one on the right, with the sewn in ribbon. Clever girl arent you. xx

Hi Pauline, nice to see your commenting. How's your garden going? Love Chris

by meganne 04 Oct 2016

Yep BBF, both GD's do ballet.
I created an FSL soccer ball too but they don't play soccer. Come to think of it they don't play any sport.
Hmmm, strange, my GK's not doing any sport?
Do any of your tribe play or follow soccer?

tied to the Loop is just nice love the Way they turned out Hugs
