Emma Goblirsch takes time out of her busy day to sew her new pointe shoes to prepare for a dance competition over the weekend. Goblirsch loved being able to add her own special touch to the shoes, despite the extra time and energy it took. “They come without any elastics or ribbons attached, so everyone sews them on by themselves. It takes a really long time, but then they’re perfect,” Goblirsch said. “Everyone wants some variety. Sometimes I sew my back elastic crisscross, sometimes I sew them in just one loop, and sometimes I add extra elastic to the front.”
