Pair of pointe shoes hanging from a long pink ribbon, real delicate ballerina vibe. The shoes are done in a soft blush pink with cross-hatch satin fill that mimics the look of woven satin slippers up close. Toe boxes have a darker coral pink ring around the rim, real pointe-shoe shape with that flat tip ya recognise from the dance studio.
Up at the top theres a properly tied ribbon bow holding the two slippers together, and the trailing ribbon ends curl out to either side. The ribbons themselves use a smooth flat satin which contrasts nicely with the cross-hatched shoe body, gives the whole thing kinda just real dimension. Underneath each slipper sits a small zigzag stitch resembling the leather sole edges, lil detail thats easy to miss but customising it on order has been popular.
I drew it for ballet recitals, dance mum gifts and lil girls dance bag patches. Earlier this year one customer ordered the 7.5-inch on her daughters first dance recital tote, the photo she shared was seriously sweet, the kid carried her own bag with the ballet slippers on it. People ask about ballet pieces nonstop and the pointe-shoe version moves faster than the tutu version.
Stitch on champagne piqué, dove grey poplin or soft white cotton for the cleanest blush-on-neutral look. Skip pink fabric here, the slippers blur straight into the cloth and the ribbon disappears. The 5-inch run hooped on a dance bag chest panel sits clean, the larger version looks lovely on a tote or a hooded leotard cover-up. The smallest version works on a hair bow patch or a recital programme cover.
Stitch counts run between 8,806 and 27,848 across 9 sizes with a 507 density. Lay a soft cutaway underneath since this lands mostly on stretch fabrics, dance bags and lightweight cotton totes. The trailing ribbons need ya machine slowed on the curves, satin pulls clean but the ribbon tails are long and bobbin can show through if topping film isnt down. Three colours total so its a kinda just simple thread setup.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
