I need to add sleeves to a sleeveless leotard pattern, it's ckc canyon.  I love the back shape but want 3/4 sleeves, how would I go about this if possible xx

What's the pattern you're trying to add sleeves to?  I did a search for "ckc canyon leotard pattern" and the only relevant result I could find was this:  http://ckcpatterns.com/canyons-dance.html  A sleeved leo pattern generally shouldn't have the same armhole shape and size as a sleeveless one.  Can you swap in a sleeve+armhole from another pattern?

ETA in case the pattern I linked to above is the correct one - I found this pattern http://ckcpatterns.com/galaxys-girls.html from the same online shop and it looks to be from the same company; maybe you can swap this armhole+sleeve into your pattern?
