Larger sizes and narrower cuffs
The Tampa sweatpants pattern has become very popular among you sewers, and I totally understand why. I also only sew these sweatpants at home, and honestly, I was missing a larger size for my oldest child.
That's why I updated the pattern and added two more double sizes to the network: 146-152 and 158-164.
Sweatpants pattern up to size 164
As I mentioned in the first paragraph of this update article, the pattern is now current with sizes up to 164. It includes sizes from babies wearing size 62 up to teenagers, 164 cm tall and taller.
That's a pretty decent range.
The pattern for the last two sizes has specifically longer legs. These two largest sizes have leg lengths 1 cm longer than the previous sizes. However, if you need an even larger size, you can certainly add more centimeters to the length.
The cuffs are narrower
The leg cuffs on the first pattern were wider because I was concerned that sewers might cut them too narrow, especially if they were using different materials. For example, knit fabric, sweatshirt fabric.
These materials don't stretch like rib knit fabrics and therefore it's problematic to get them to fit the circumference of the leg.
However, the concern proved unfounded. I thought that sewers would be better at narrowing it correctly than stretching it, but it's exactly the opposite. So, I reduced the cuff to its original width, i.e., a narrow cuff for ribbed materials, and I strongly recommend really using these materials.
