Threads magazine has had a number of articles on making stretch active wear pants. If I remember correctly, this one actually shows you how to make your own pattern sloper. You can get a copy of the articles via interlibrary loan if your own local library doesn't have the magazine... The articles usually have fabric source information as well. I know you can buy this stuff online.

The pattern is basically two pieces, plus the waistband. The main pattern piece is shaped like a fat wishbone or Y. What is the best way to add some width to the pieces? The wearer will probably need additional room from calf to waist. Thanks!
