@motherof5 HI NICOLE DEAR AND HAPPY NEW YEAR , yes we thought of that , but they seems determined like only pisces twins can be that this must have sleeves lol @lightningmcstitch gave me a great suggestion to use my building block book ( which I plan to diligently look over now). In the interim my one twin does drafting and came up with an idea after seeing a few fb post of doing a tulip sleeve and attaching from the bottom so when closed it will have that tulip shape up top, she also thought about spilt sleeve that she saw on the art gallery lookbook for the dollhouse fabric collection. In any event I might be able to stall them by making other items and then poof it’ll be warm and I can do it the standard way lol. ty for the help.
ps do you know another way to log into flickr without a yahoo account

@lightningmcstitch yes I have the BB book !!! teehee and yep you totally beat @liesl I love your suggestions and it will take me out of my comfort zone and step p my game ( which is my 2018 sew goals) so yes I will start drafting and putting on my thinking cap. Thank you

@motherof5 hi Nicole as always your post and blog page have been my go to..i just got the pattern well because of shelley aka @lightningmcstitch lol and her awesome fb post , then the twins saw it and fell hard , then they after school today went on your blog ( yes its their go to also and boom the fact that your twins wore it was a no brainer for them to have. I had a question and maybe if I right it out it will make sense ..the girls are wild about sleeves, bishop , tulip and even spilt sleeves they saw on a art gallery lookbook post. can you think of a way to modify this dress to accommodate or alter another pattern but keeping the side, gathers and pockets that’s what they actually love about the dress and the bodice curve. ok ty ND hPPY NEW YEAR

[Florence Taylor]

@liesl I see what you mean, I just opened the file and looked it over and I see what you mean, will I better get my thinking cap on or steer them to another pattern lol. Thank you for your help

[Florence Taylor]

@liesl thank you, ugh the girls swooned over it a few weeks ago and then were silent, well then someone posted it on the fb page and it was reawakened lol . Its cold in PA and they totally are begging me to make it sleeves lol. Is there a way to maybe modify another dress that has the dropped waist and hidden pockets ( the 2 factors they loves best). I do have the BB book but wanted a realistic and simpler method to construct.

[Florence Taylor]

@fitdoc I get some at Joanns , but I also use bed sheets from yard sales/goodwill or rummage sales. I also use muslin to line.

Art gallery fabrics hasa few lines that release wonderful patterns in that color way ( Capsule/ aligned and raise the volume.

yep I am making 4 pinwheel dresses + tunics, 3 more play dates ad I have 8 new nani Iro double gauze fabric prints to make the hide and seek dress and maybe a nightgown or 2 for my twins using the playtime dress. I am so excited I discovered these patterns. Say a prayer for me.
